CUSTOM RUGER 96 - 44: BULLPUP: BELT-FED .44“: The Ultimate Lever Gun!

In 2019 I set myself the challange to see if I could produce a belt feeding mechanism for my Ruger Model 96. I also wanted to see if I could set this up in a compact Bull-pup stock to make, What I believe to be, the ultimate in manually operated Guns. Here in the UK, we can’t have semi-auto firearms BUT - we can load our guns with as much ammo as we can (no magazine restrictions!). Therefore I believe this set-up offers the most fire power you can legally own here in the UK. In this video I introduce the gun as it is as of in the spring of 2020 and a brief run-through of how it works and how I made it. There will be modifications in the future to aid in carrying larger amounts of ammo (like an ammo box typical for belt-fed guns, as well as more links!) or a box/magazine option. It is primarily used for plinking or Practical style shooting (fire and movement on multiple targets where a lot of ammunition is used) in this case, having a belt-fed gun gives me quite the advantage. This project cost around £500 (~$650) and took about 4~6 months of my free time (mostly in the evenings) to build. I hope you enjoy and share in the fun of having something different and the belief in making the best of what you have.
