CZ Scorpion Bullpup Kit
Relying on the bullpup expertise of the aftermarket design gurus over at Manticore Arms, the Scorpion Bullpup Kit has been a project long in the making. Able to convert any Scorpion over to a bullpup configuration, it reuses trigger components of the gun being converted and condenses the Scorpion down to an even smaller package. The ideal candidate for conversion is the Scorpion Carbine, and the bullpup chassis ties into our standard Carbine handguard as well as Manticore and HB Industries long handguards. With the addition of one of those handguards, Scorpion pistols can be converted, though doing so with a barrel length less than 16 inches will require proper paperwork/tax stamp and conversion of the pistol to an SBR. For those who want to modify their Scorpion Bullpup, it retains the ability to take aftermarket grips, trigger shoes, charging handles and magazine releases.
