..... I ran across this ( I also found them cheaper, but don't have a link handy)and also the stocks to make your own from an existing AK. I think the bullpup looks cool.

.....Raising a hand.....
I built one,it was/is fron K-VAR and I assembled it on a MAK-90.

The plastic leaves a lot to be desired, I brokd the screw supports on the front handguard, twice, just putting it on tightly. KVAR sent replacements but the plastic isn't any sort of high-tech polymer, it's model-car quality. LonelyMachines is quite correct, the Only thing between you and a 7.62kaBoom is a Chinese sheet metal receiver cover and 1/8 inch of plastic. I only wish it was better because I
Like the idea of a 7.62K bullpup. - - I started turning it back into a regular AK last month, will finish this wknd after the Gwinett county gun show.
Now, what I Have seen, as of last week is a Bushmaster M17S at Nick's Guns(?) in Acworth/Kennesaw area. It's better ergonomically, the barrel is tensioned by design which gives great accuracy, and the frame is aluminum, not plastic. Downsides? About same weight as a full-length AR, 5.56 caliber if that matters, and Bushmaster really should have put a better handgrip on it (sigh). Check out

Added- I just remembered this; Kel-Tec should be coming out with a 7.62x51mm Bullpup soon, or shortly, or sometime. The basic chassis seems to be a FAL upper with.....(gasp) forward ejection.
