Back in the 70's I believe High Standard offered a semiauto bullpup shotgun. But as I recall, it wasn't as relieble as it needed to be. Anyone remember it?


You mean....this one?

** That's NOT rust!! :what: - - it's just a 40-watt overhead bulb relected in the oil **

So far mine has had - -
Two magazine tubes welded together to form an extened mag.
The top carry handle / rear sight removed.
The shoulder yoke has been fixed in place so it won't rotate.
And of course, the EoTech :)
A future addition will be a muzzlebrake to replace the folding front sight which I hope will protect the mag tube a bit more.

I purchased it in Aridzona where it had been sold to a gunshop as part of an estate sale. I couldn't resist picking it up as I'd wanted one since ForEver (saw it in a Dick Tracy cartoon). So far it's been reliable, but you absolutely cannot use light or low brass loads in it.


The Mossberg 500 bullpup, like the High Sandard Model 10 were ahead of their times :(. I can only hope some company in the USA picks up the Neostead and produces it.
