Woah! Hold up! Did you convert that AK to bullpup?!

yes. actually, it was IN the bullpup kit when I bought it. whoever installed it screwed the pooch, bigtime, so I was able to get the whole shebang for $300 total (did some research - that's less than the cost of the kit, and the gun itself is about twice that, so i got it for a steal)

It took me about an hour of puzzling, about four bucks at a hardware store, and less than ten minutes of labor to fix the screwup (and, as a side-project, add a trigger-pull adjustment mechanism to the wire trigger-extension)

been refining it ever since

It spits brass up to 45 feet in a 30degree arc, so I had to build a brass-catcher out of sheet aluminum and fiberglas... and having a brass-catcher blocking the bolt-carrier handle necessitated making a forward-mounted charging handle... it just keeps going.
