Its a huge pistol to begin with, and I dont like the cocking assist. I made an extended shroud for the barrel. No cocking effort now at all. I am going to add an AR 6 position stock to the rear. The buffer tube is a bit too wide, so I will turn it down and pin it in the rear of the compression tube in place of the stock end cap. _________________ Gloria Bunker-Stivic: Daddy, did you know that sixty percent of the people murdered in this country in the last ten years were killed by guns?

What do you have planned for sights? _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2016 6:28 am paddyfritz Member Joined: 26 Jul 2009 Posts: 99 Location: Northern Ontario Slavia wrote: I think I also would enjoy it more as a carbine. What do you have planned for sights? Most likely a scope. Might go red dot. These old eyes dont work that well with irons anymore.   Posted: Sat Jan 30, 2016 3:34 am paddyfritz Member Joined: 26 Jul 2009 Posts: 99 Location: Northern Ontario Photo came out crappy, will have to take a better one in the daytime. I turned down the rear end cap, and press fit it into the castle nut along with JB weld. The buffer tube can be unscrewed from the rear cap allowing the entire stock to come back off at will.   Posted: Sat Jan 30, 2016 11:24 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" Is it strong enough to cock if holding the stock- or must the pistol grip/main body of original pistol be held to cock it? I'm just curious more than anything... _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I'm just curious more than anything... Haven't tried that since the grip is more natural, but the cocking effort is so low now that I dont think that would be a problem. Edit: tried it, works fine.

Is there enough "meat" to the fore end to come in from the side with a sling mount? I see the butt already has one. I think you're right about a scope or red dot. Besides the issue of "old eyes" that rear sight sits pretty low compared to the cheek rest. Much cooler looking as a carbine. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sat Jan 30, 2016 7:28 pm paddyfritz Member Joined: 26 Jul 2009 Posts: 99 Location: Northern Ontario The butt has a sling mount. If I was going to add one I would use a single point mount that fits the scope rail. I have one on my NP B18.   Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2016 8:27 pm paddyfritz Member Joined: 26 Jul 2009 Posts: 99 Location: Northern Ontario Have some cheap red dots coming from China.   Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2016 1:46 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA Dang, I gotta start getting on the net again more often. lol I've got this pistol too, and it is a bear to shoot.

Unfortunately in Canada, we are not allowed to do that. As a result all of my shrouds are hollow.
