Bullpup semi auto 22LR

Tangfolio Appeal is the only one I know of off the top of my head.
Due to the way our laws are written there isn't much of an advantage to a rimfire being a bullpup, because we don't have any minimum barrel length requirements so if you want a more compact gun you just buy a shorter barrel from DLASK etc. Most 22lr bullpups I've seen are bullpup stocks you put on a regular rifle (eg 10/22 in a bullpup stock), rather than purpose-built bullpup rifles, and bullpup stocks are prohibited devices in Canada.
Generally speaking you are trading ergonomics (triggers tend to be worse, safeties are often awkward, dealing with a malfunction often harder, etc) for overall length with a bullpup, but without minimum barrel length laws like the US has there is little reason to sacrifice ergos when you can just get a shorter barrel.
Of course there is something to be said about owning one just because you want one. That is a perfectly valid reason to buy a gun IMO. Not a lot of options though.

Not even close to being a bullpup...
Not QUITE a bullpup, but the Browning Buckmark sporter rifle has the magazine in the grip. Thats pretty darn close to a bullpup.
Ugly Betty
I have a heavily modified Tanfoglio Appeal I bought off a fellow out East who tried to make it in to a "Star Wars" blaster. He had another Appeal he left stock. He had cut off the top rail/handle but the rifle still functions quite well. I gave it a cleaning, front muzzle thread protectors, a laser, AR-style sloped barrel grip, and gave it a black & white camo painting, leaving only some of the original green exposed. I added top and bottom picatinny rails, one for the front barrel grip and one for a cheap red-dot and stubby scope that actually work well together. The trigger is not up to the quality of a 10/22 2.5-lb custom trigger, but good enough to shoot 1" groups at 20 yards. I have had no chance to test its accuracy at greater range. It's ugly as sin so got dubbed Ugly Betty and all but the purists at my Club love to shoot it. The advantage of a bullpup is you can snug it in tight and hold it very steady when you shoot. It is not the most accurate rifle I own but it's close and a heck of a lot of fun. Freedom Ventures out East is the only vendor I know in Canada that sells them new, and I think they only come in to Canada twice a year.

I’d be so down if a company like IRG brought in the 10/22 bullpup conversion as a completed firearm with an NR FRT. I’d pay a grand for that for sure.
Suther, isn’t there some sort of gray area with slapping a Dlask on a 10/22 since it wasn’t manufactured that way? I seem to remember some discussion.
It would still be a 10/22 and capable of firing without the chassis conversion.

Bull pup stocks are illegal. Not gonna happen.
Nope. As long as the gun is over 26" long it's NR, regardless of barrel length. There is a question as to whether it HAS to be over 26" or not, but you've got to go below like 8" to get that short IIRC.
If it’s “manufactured as its own firearm” it might. Not trying to encourage anything illegal here. I just want more bullpup in my life. And .22lr is my favorite caliber to shoot.

You could try to find a Kintrek BP-1. I have seen a couple in Canada over the years.

Own firearm yes. 10/22 or any other manufacture in a chassi system no.
I think hes suggesting if Ruger made a 10/22 bullpup (that is, it was sold from the factory in a bullpup form) it might get the OK here. Considering the Mossberg Blaze can be an AK variant with some different furniture I wouldn't say its impossible... I wouldn't' count on it, but you can't predict wtf the lab will do...

It just be a 10/22 with the trigger moved forward. Still be a 10/22. Most bullpups the stock contains key parts for the gun to function. RCMP doesn't even allow alot of bull pup airguns as that all they are. Gun with a linkage for a trigger forward.
