Why no Bullpup design for Hi Point carbine?

Should not be to hard to draft a drop in stock for a bullpup config for the hi-point carbine.

It would have to be from another company, like ATI or such. From what I hear from other forums HP is having a hell of a time keeping up with demand, not to mention they just put out their .45 carbine and the new TS stocks. Also there's not likely a large enough market to justify them designing, testing, and setting up the tooling to make another carbine design/stock. The US traditionally hasn't been a very fertile ground for bullpup sales.

As a sidenote, they're already pretty short and handy carbines and have a good balance to them. I'm not sure how well they'd balance in a bullpup format. Neat idea though.

I just took delivery of a Hi Point 4595. Yes the bull-pup stock would make a shorter rifle, but it's very compact as it is. I initially thought it was a trifle muzzle heavy, but after a couple of shooting sessions I think I was wrong and the balance is just fine. I would like to add a magpul angled forearm grip. This is my first firearm with composite stocks. They take some getting used to.

More to the point, when will someone come out with a stock that has a grip to take Glock mags?
