How about a pic of the first level of boxes on the palets all opened with kushnapups inside? Reminds me a moving company commercial shoot where the owner was moving empty boxes. I wouldn't put it past Kushnapup at this point. I wonder what it feels like to be a turd? Maybe someone from Kushnapup can chime in.... Link to post Share on other sites
rr917 5 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 not to be fussy but all i see is a bunch of boxes that say Kushnapup on them. is their anything in them? How about a pic of the first level of boxes on the palets all opened with kushnapups inside? Hahaha exactly what I was thinking when I got the update/photos. Its like this guy has all the oppurtunity in the world to set peoples minds at ease, just comes up with BS on why he doesnt act on it. Ive been wrong before, but its seems like more of the same... I'd expect an update on how the building caught fire and all the polymer melted and they have to start from scratch with a new vendor because they want to make it better than the previous make believe designs. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
preparehandbook 326 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi all, I'm new to the forum, and really don't read forums, but I felt the need to share this info with the Saiga community. In short, I asked if they would be shipping soon, and here is the reply: "There are 10 of these.. I am processing out orders for shipment today, tomorrow, the next day, Saturday, Monday and shipping will continue throughout the week and everyday there after." he also included a picture of what was shipping that day. So for those of us that placed an order, we should be seeing these very shortly. When I receive mine, i'll post pics of the conversion. I've shot other bullpup conversions and wasn't impressed with the bulk and feel of it, so we'll see about this one. I've read that many have had issues with Bjorn, but I have nothing bad to say at all, actually the transaction and communication has been quick and pleasant. -Greg "Hi, I'm a shill for kushnapup running an astroturfing campaign." Fixed that for you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Russ Jackson 1 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Anybody that would order one now without getting an actual review is an idiot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
zeus540 2 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 found this new video on youtube posted yesterday. I dont believe it is a actual review on the current products supposably being shipped..in the video he states his is a proto type made of cheap plastic. Therefore why would you post this video yesterday if it was a prototype i assume being a prototype he had for a while...here is the vid..and the only vid by anyone other then Bjorn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGmExWG2LCY&feature=plcp Link to post Share on other sites

zeus540 2 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 dont know why he just doesnt post a pic on the kushnapup site of those jumbo palets of kushnapup boxes with the top layers all opened up showing the stocks inside..not hard..not a big deal...that would pretty much seal the deal for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
darkwater 1 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 go ahead...anyways, if the box comes in empty, i'll let ya know..the good news is that there is actually tracking info from the number itself, so something is shipping :-) theoretically it shoudl arrive on saturday...

preparehandbook 326 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 So let me get this straight, the only folks with tracking numbers are those with extremely new accounts? Nope, not suspicious at all. Still and all, I want a kushnapup so damned bad! It's so much more compact and sleek than the CBRPS bullpup kit. Link to post Share on other sites
darkwater 1 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 ...take a look when i registered this account...just because I don't post much doesn't mean it's just created...and then compare to when your acct was created... :-) anyways, just posted the info as maybe some folks would care...I am aware there is a lot of doubt out there considreding all the delays and drama... and I have seen it before that other companies have given out tracking numbers without actually placing the order with USPS...but based on the tracking number i got the thing is being processed, so something is shipping... I just hope I catch the mailman on saturday, otherwise I'll have to run by the post office on Monday to pick it up..they don't often leave packages around here, just the little slip to pick it up... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, you don't seem like an astroturfer. I'm seriously hoping the kushnapups arrive and reviews follow. Link to post Share on other sites
AGC 4 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 That's my video, I wasn't given a prototype to do a review on it. I did not have permission to release anything until recently. I have not had it very long. I can answer some questions but most will have it soon I suspect. I am not in business with Kushnapup however, so my opinions are my own. Also, I've yet to receive tracking info. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
zeus540 2 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Looks like your a newbie as of today at 2 am. and that you and your club are very much into firearms especially Kalashnikov format..Seems strange you wouldnt have been on here along time ago. and why would you recieve a prototype? to use it or hold you off untill your supposed real kushnapup arrives? I dont get it, Its a prototype for obviously to review. Link to post Share on other sites
preparehandbook 326 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 in AGCs defense the video was seemed pretty unbiased. Link to post Share on other sites
AGC 4 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I only registered to post a comment to you linking to the video; prior to that I was content in reading and not commenting. I had the prototype to review the installation in order to provide feedback to the company. I presume I was selected for the task because of the unsolicited feedback I'd given prior.

You seem like a good guy and I really liked your review, it was comprehensive, honest, and well filmed. Maybe you could post more stuff, we are a little short of sanity here.

AGC 4 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm on a much needed vacation right now, I won't be back until Wednesday. I do have some photos on my laptop of the install. I'll get them up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AGC 4 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 In favor of trying to share something, this is what I added on the Bullpup Forum: http://bullpupforum.com/index.php?topic=696.0 During my conversations with Kushnapup over the past year and a half (my unsolicited feedback) the panic of the ATF's block of the Saiga-12 with customs became a large issue. I suggested making the stock work with other calibers so the shotgun freeze wouldn't destroy any future plans for the design. He admitted later that he took it to heart and temporarily obtained each caliber to see how it would fit. The final installation manual reflects this. Also in the instruction manual is the concern that if you install the stock on a 16" rifle and then remove the stock tangs to attach the buttpad you will no longer meet the overall length requirement of 26". This is not a concern on the shotgun as they require an 18" barrel by federal law. Below are a few more of humble thoughts. I am quite sure that in a few weeks many of you will have vastly more time with the system than I have had. Pros: Reduces overall length Balances the weight of the weapon closer to the body Cleaning can still be done with the stock attached, using a pull through system If you find the Warsaw Pack length AKM stocks too short you may like the LOP Access to the bolt-lock and gas detent are retained Trigger is adjustable and I found it to my liking, a case of "good enough" Aesthetically unique Installation isn't more complicated than Ikea furniture Cons: Installation of front sling swivel was irritating the first time, don't like the design In a potential catastrophe the danger area is closer to the eye The stock needs to be removed in order to do a thorough cleaning LOP (close to the FN FS2000) is longer than I prefer Magazine feeding is made more awkward, a general bullpup problem compounded by the paddle-release of an AK Requires an aftermarket rail installation to have sights Initial shock of so many small parts to the kit Stock tangs need to be removed in order to install the buttpad Rifles with 16" barrels do not meet the minimum length requirement of 26" Saiga-12 models without the sight rib will require drilling and tapping to mount a sight rail Use of drums gets in the way of what I feel is a secure and proper hold of the firearm, I do not hip-shoot The installation manual reads like a forum post Suggestions: I believe a left-hand hand-stop is necessary Optional rail for optic instead of something aftermarket, possibly floating over gas-tube Optional rail under the forearm for personal selection of vertical grips Optional buttpad that extends to no longer require removing the stock tangs, possibly of hard rubber, will increase LOP Optional single-point sling attachments Extended paddle-mag release lever I suggest adding a small washer behind the trigger return spring, I found it just made it keep the spring lined up the way I wanted it to while I put the two halves together. The question of durability is up in the air for me. I hope the final product is tough, but the general design seems like the gun will give the stock's internal ribs a beating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
