Deadeye 325 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) I was just wondering why the say they dont work for the 308?. And what it would take to make it work? Edited June 24, 2012 by deadeye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brownwood 11 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hmm, Ive done an S12, 410 and 5.45 so far. Not sure why it wouldn't work on the 308. Just know, going in, that anything other than an S12 requires some mods. The challenge with the rifles is that the barrel is to small for the barrel channel. The stock gets a lot of its stiffness from integrating with the barrel. Also, there is no threaded front sling mount that the Kushnapup uses to anchor the front of the weapon to the stock. All of these things can be sorted out, but some parts fabrication is required. Compare the 308 receiver very carefully to a 7.62, 545 or 223 receiver. If they are identical, and I think they are; then you could make the 308 work. Just my 02. FYI, I just checked the website and they say it will work fine with the 308. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frz1197 128 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I've been wanting another .308. A kusnapup .308 could be fun. Let us know if it works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kellysk8s 6 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 You have to do a little cutting and filing to make it fit, but it will work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brownwood 11 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 You have to do a little cutting and filing to make it fit, but it will work I like it. Dont make me buy another KPup stock....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptLouie 8 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Heard some "rumours" that the 20 or 25 round mags will not work with the Kpup?? Your thoughts or experieces... Thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Cant speak from experience with a 308 in a kpup... but I know the 308 mags are a lot straighter than the S12 ones... and THEY lock in... I cant imagine a 20 rd. 308 mag wouldnt be able to be locked in place... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deadeye 325 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 does the funky stock trigger have any issues with the kpup linkage? also would a ultimac be the best rail option for a scope? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mephis 82 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I can't speak from experience regarding that specific kit's trigger, but I do have a microtech MSAR bullpup. The trigger is large and plastic, it feels large and plastic. BUT, it breaks 100% clean and like a glass rod when you actually push it. Bullpups don't have to have bad triggers as long as the linkage is solid, and doesn't have any angles in it that allows it to bend or distort. Inside the body of that MSAR all the linkage goes into slots that barely touch it to reduce drag, but they prevent the linkage from flexing. A super clean breaking very solid 6 pound trigger on a bullpup is pretty impressive if you ever get a chance to try it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 does the funky stock trigger have any issues with the kpup linkage? also would a ultimac be the best rail option for a scope? The trigger isn't any worse than the stock Saiga trigger, you just have to eliminate the reset spring that comes with the KPup. The factory trigger reset is sufficient to work through the linkage. I added an extra rail piece that I had off of a quad rail to the top of the gas tube, but yes the Ultimak would be an excellent option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kellysk8s 6 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I just put a 25 round mag in my.308 Kushnapup without any problems. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 How did the trigger work out??? Everything function just fine with the wonky factory rearward-angled trigger?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ManOnTheHIll 13 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 The Samson Leaf Sight rail might be useful for the Kpup: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
