In looking at bull pup designs for the Marauder Gen II I came across an interesting you tube piece. It was by BULLET TRASFORMATOR called Bullpap for Benjamin Marauder. Yes it's spelled Bullpap. It says they sold out and the post was in 2018. I was wondering if anyone knew any more about these or anything like it. It looks like a very light modular design. Thanks for any help.
Marauder bull pup conversion
- Thread starter rgppgr
- Start date
I would also like to know if there are any bullpup conversion kits out there. I have a customer that wants me to build him one. I lack the skill to build my own.

I've got one of their (Craftsman Vit) standard stocks that my m-rod is in - I like it - it's quite nice. Took forever to come in (covid) but . . . it is what it is.

I've seen these wooden pup designs. Back when I first acquired both .177 and .22 marauders. I haven't looked since then but it appears not much has changed in the bull pup offerings. That's why I asked about this cast piece from Bullet Transformator. I can't believe someone hasn't seen it and designed one of their own. Someone smarter than myself. It looks less costly to produce and less time consuming.

Here’s mine wearing a CraftsmanVit kit. I like the Marauder a lot better as a bull pup actually. Just be aware that you do not have a working safety with this kit. I’m ok with it but some are not.

For the price of a kit (Stock with parts) average $410 to $480 if you can get one your better off just buying a new Akela . Also you could put a WTB ADD in the classifieds for a used one . I have a maddog & craftsman vit but not for sale, the vit is nicer & more comfortable btw .

My Marauder with the Talon Tunes air tube extender looks funny because it sticks out past the barrel shroud. Are you using a longer shroud or the Hill or WAR added on Shroud extender?

I also own an Akela and I would agree with Kayaker. Between the two the Akela is the better gun out of the box. I however, don’t favor one over the other. I enjoy both of them equally but for different reasons.
I don’t know if you’ve seen this one before but this guy had an interesting approach to a bullpup Marauder. I’m not a fan of the Bulldog look but this one’s kinda cool actually.

I got the longer shroud and additional baffles from Tim Hill.

I thought it was interesting and unique. He rambled on a bite in his video and didn’t show much. Wish he’d do a follow up and show what he did exactly.

I agree. Nice subject matter. I'll look into Crosman. Yes, the last 5 minutes was the whole shoot.
