I'm currently working on a project of converting a mid grip XP-100 into a bullpup single shot bolt rifle for longer distance shooting. I have found a bullpup fiberglass blank stock that I will be inletting and my length from butt of stock to front lug of action is 12.5". This allows me to either build an ultra compact short rifle with 16.5-18" barrel or use the additional room for a longer barrel. In other words if I went with a 16.5" barrel, my OAL would be 29" or if I went with a 24" barrel my OAL would be 36.5". Looking for ideas and suggestions on what is more desirable.

I have a 24" Bartlein blank in .224 that is just laying around and needs used. I'm also looking for chambering suggestions. Barrel is a 4 groove with 1-8 twist.

Basically making this a fun unique build and open to ideas.
 
Why not just put it in a rifle chassis that uses an AR style buttstock and buffer tube, and just put one of those "pistol braces" on it? Then it's still classified as a pistol, and you got a 50-state legal SBR that doesn't require any paperwork or a $200 tax stamp. :cool:

That would be pretty sweet! it would probably keep the weight down as well.
Definitely something to consider.

Not to mention, if your state has a special pistol hunting game season, then you can still use it...Cause legally, it's still a registered pistol. ;)
