Kel-Tec&#8217;s KSG, the Standard Manufacturing DP-12, the UTAS? I can see your point. And I own two of these three. Yet there are many out there who won&#8217;t trust their lives to new technology. No matter how many reviews come out praising a new design, there&#8217;s still something to be said for guns that have been around forever. Guns that have gone to war, and come back, and gone again.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s the appeal of the Bullpup Unlimited kit. Designed around the Mossberg 500 and Remington 870, these DIY options take that old, beat-up, timeless pump shotgun and transform it into a compact powerhouse.

You may think this thing won&#8217;t run. You\u2019d be wrong! This kit is built around the Mossberg 500 and the bullpup runs flawlessly. Lock-up of the action is solid, the action racks smoothly and recoil is managed nicely. In essence, the only thing that has changed is the new shorter length and the adaptation of and AR15 style safety and pistol grip. And that&#8217;s exactly how it should be.<\/p>\n<p>Running the gun through my normal testing and evaluation paces, we found the BPU-500 to be extremely controllable and easy to shoot. Recoil is dampened by the stock&#8217;s butt pad and the polymer enclosure shields your hands and face from all hints of heat, blast, and sharp edges. The controls are easily accessed and manipulated and, most notably, the trigger is a 2-piece (reminiscent of a Glock) design that adds an extra level of safety to the gun.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not suggesting there is anything wrong with the old standby Mossberg 500, but when its dressed up like this&#8230; it makes you wonder why Mossberg hasn\u2019t resurrected the old Maverick 12-guage bullpup shotgun.<\/p>\n<h2>Ergonomics<\/h2>\n<p>Ergonomic Bullpup. Oxymoron? The constraints of the design don\u2019t always make for gracefully operated guns. Ergonomics are sacrificed for the sake of size and maneuverability. With the BPU-500, this isn\u2019t the case. The addition of features like the AR style safety and the AR style pistol grip allow for the shooter move seamlessly from America\u2019s rifle into America\u2019s shotgun. Beyond its controls, the BPU-500 also has the option of running railed panels on the handguard, giving the shooter places for a vertical grip, flashlights, or lasers.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the forend, the BPU-500 also features 3 ambidextrous sling mounting points as well as a full length 1913 top rail. The rail is made of polymer, but (considering that this is a scatter gun) it should hold a good enough zero to get the job done.<\/p>\n<p>This gun is completely encased in polymer. When it comes to comfort, this is good. There is no hot or cold metal to touch your skin. There is less recoil energy transferred to the shooter. Where this becomes a negative is aesthetics. Plastic can feel somewhat cheap. The kit adds a very plastic look and feel to what has always been a very rugged and timeless firearm.<\/p>\n<p>Some may like the looks of the BPU-500, but I personally don\u2019t find it very attractive. However, it is very functional so I will bite my tongue on this note. That&#8217;s what actually matters. And I think I may be unfairly comparing it to the looks of the 870 and 500. Those two guns are classics. They&#8217;re exquisite. But not of the commercially available bullpups is winning a beauty contest.<\/p>\n<p>[one_half]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_52972\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullpup-unlimited-bpu500-01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bullpup-unlimited-conversion-kit-mossberg-500-remington-870\" title=\"DIY Bullpup Kit for Mossberg 500 &amp; Remington 870\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52972\" title=\"DIY Bullpup Kit for Mossberg 500 &amp; Remington 870\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-52972\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullpup-unlimited-bpu500-01-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Ejection happens high on the stock, behind the grip.

Topping off a traditional shotgun is easy and intuitive. There is nothing easy or intuitive about reloading a bullpup shotgun and the BPU-500 is no exception. The best way to remedy the strange ergonomics of the the BPU-500 reload is to completely flip the gun vertically into your off-hand and load shells into the tube one by one.<\/p>\n<p>If you can get past the strange reloading procedure, the gun is actually easy to reload due to the beveled loading port. I\u2019ll give the bullpup shotgun design a C+ on reloads and the BPU-500 a B+ for making it easier than it normally is on an unconventional pump guns.<\/p>\n<h2>Installation<\/h2>\n<p>[full_width][\/full_width]<\/p>\n<p>Installation of the BPU-500 kit is fairly easy. Though that statement is subject to your skill set, I will say if you can field strip your shotgun you will have little problems installing this kit. We have included the official Bullpup Unlimited installation video below for those of you who are interested in seeing the process or need help doing it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>As far as tools need for installation, Bullpup Unlimited has made sure to include everything you need in the box. The conversion even comes partially assembled, making the install as easy as field striping the kit and inserting your gun.<\/p>\n<p>I want to make it clear this is not a complete firearm and your success with the platform is subjective to the gun you are building it around as well as correctly assembling the firearm.<\/p>\n<p>[full_width]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_52982\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullpup-unlimited-bpu500-10.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"bullpup-unlimited-conversion-kit-mossberg-500-remington-870\" title=\"DIY Bullpup Kit for Mossberg 500 &amp; Remington 870\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52982\" title=\"DIY Bullpup Kit for Mossberg 500 &amp; Remington 870\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52982\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullpup-unlimited-bpu500-10.jpg\" alt=\"The rear end of the shotgun is secured just behind the thick buttstock.\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullpup-unlimited-bpu500-10.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullpup-unlimited-bpu500-10-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/bullpup-unlimited-bpu500-10-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-52982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The rear end of the shotgun is secured just behind the thick buttstock.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/full_width]<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The BPU-500 is a quality kit that updates the pump-shotgun design. It gives the other bullpups a run for their money, all while avoiding the high price tag found on the competition. You can build a BPU-500 off an existing gun for $360. Or you can buy a Mossberg for $350 and the kit for $360 and have around $700 invested in the whole build.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bullpup Unlimited kit for the Mossberg 500 and Remington 870 isn&#8217;t beautiful, but it works.
