Mossberg Bullpup range report, Of sort, Now! with Build up

I decided it would be a great day to head out to the West Desert to try my new Mossberg 500 Bullpup.
I brought along 3 types of Shot gun rounds, First was some PMC 2.75" Max #8 steel shot, It seemed to shoot this very well, Same with the Remington Sport Load 2.75" with 1.15oz of #7.5 shot, Both worked as they should, I may have been a little too far at 25 paces for a good grouping, But it could be the barrel as well, On a 100yd target the shot would cover the entire paper.
At 25 paces, PMC, Covers the entire paper.

At 25 paces, Remington, Does about the same.

14 paces with Remington Makes a hole of sorts.

The Bullpup is heavy, So I think it helped out with the normal rounds, Making them very easy to shoot, The sights leave something to be desired, With a block front sight and a U shaped rear sight, The front sight blocks most things you are aiming at, I may lower the rear sight a tiny bit to give it a 6 O'Clock hold on the target.


After I went through 25 rounds of each of the 2.75" rounds, I moved on to the Rio 3" Magnums, I'm not a fan...

25 paces with 3" Magnums

I mean they did their job, But I think they have just a little too much kick for my liking, Maybe down the road when I get a little more time with them, But as of now, I will stick with the regular rounds.

Someone was nice enough to leave 3 bowling pins out there, So I tried my hand at shooting them instead of paper, They seem to be a little more active than paper.

Found some Bowling pins that I shot with the Remington rounds.

I like the Bullpup, However I do not like the grip safety, I understand why they have it, But you need to grip it just right BEFORE you attempt to pull the trigger,

Wonky Safety

Last few rounds of Mag's

Its was a great day, My shoulder still aches from shooting.

Great range report Vit, awesome videos too!
 
Re: Mossberg Bullpup range report, Of sort.

Thanks guy's
It was a good couple of hours.
I have got to figure out something with that grip safety, Its freshly lubed with grease, So it should slide easier, My hand grips the safety a little too high.
In the "Wonky" video, You can see me flinching just waiting to feel the Magnums again... Something I need to work on, But that will come with practice, That or just not buy any more...

***UPDATE***

Warning, Bull Pup purists beware


I never really cared for the front grip on this thing, I saw on a youtube video a guy added a AFG2 to his Bull Pup, So I figured I would give it a shot!

I used a magpul rail, I needed to drill the slide, One hole was where the slide tube nut is, Which was a real PITA! but I got it on.
You can also see I have a set of MBUS's, I will soon be purchasing a Aim Sports full length rail.
 
Re: Mossberg Bullpup range report, Of sort.

I forgot my MBUS sights at work today, So I don't have any pic's with them yet, I hope its not too tacticool...

I may have a bit more work to do on it, My wife was kind enough to notch the rear part of the rail on her engraver, I think I may have her cut out a little more.

Here is a little bit of the work involved.
The barrel has a dovetail where a sight could be bolted down, I found a decent nut/screw combo that seems to work well, Nice fine threads.

I drilled and counter sunk a hole for the screw.

Voilà!

I will see what the day brings tomorrow and cutting more out of the rear section, I only removed 1.5mm, I may go another 1/2-1 mm, Oh and I will see about getting the sights installed.
Of course there was liberal use of Lock tight.
 
Re: Mossberg Bullpup range report, Of sort.

A little more cutting this morning to fit the rail better.

Re: Mossberg Bullpup range report, Of sort, Now! with Build

VERY nice work Vit!

Great idea and execution Sir...
 
Re: Mossberg Bullpup range report, Of sort, Now! with Build

Thank you, The only place where I have changed from the original, Was two new holes for the AFG and a small cut out where the rail for the AFG went through, So it should be fairly easy to revert back to how it once was.
 
Re: Mossberg Bullpup range report, Of sort, Now! with Build

Damn Vit, that think is a BEAST!!!

Have you noticed improved accuracy with the rail and BUIS?
 
Re: Mossberg Bullpup range report, Of sort, Now! with Build

Not yet, it's been a safe queen... :(
Like many firearms now, No time and ammo is outrageous, Well except for 12ga. Shot
 
Re: Mossberg Bullpup range report, Of sort, Now! with Build

I hear ya on that one.

I haven't been shoot'n much either lately...
