Bullpup Butts(tocks) – Cut Them Off! – Why Are They Not Shorter?

Band saw time..!

Yupp, for my Skyhawk it's looking more and more like band saw time.... 

A clean break with the past of bloat stocks.... 

A slimming down in order to up my game of extreme mobility. 

In the end, this bullpup will be a cut above many bloat stock bullpups....!

If you want a non bloat stock for your Skyhawk, find a P15 stock. It is the minimum amount of wood to have a functional gun. It’s not pretty but it is the most comfortable bullpup stock I have ever shot with from all positions. And it weighs less than the butt pad on that Minelli.

I see this as a Goldie Locks thing. I understand that calling it a Bull Pup perhaps implies as short as possible, but not everyone likes as short as possible. I am a big fan of the Semi Bull Pup. I gladly give up compactness for the fit and feel of guns that are somewhere in between. The Cricket Mini fits me like a glove. So, in the end, I think that having a variety of butt lengths is good for everyone. Just pick the one you like and go with it, or mod it to your liking. 

That's not to say I can't appreciate a true Bull Pup, I do, but for the majority of my shooting I prefer mid size guns.
