Gammo does not carry replacements for the metal trigger version. Any ideas on fabricating a stock from other gun parts?   Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2013 7:37 pm Robw Veteran Member Joined: 30 Jan 2013 Posts: 441 Get a bunch of hardwood scrap from the lumber yard and shape your own. You could even dye it different colors with cloths dye and glue layers together, clamped real tight and then shape a laminate stock of your own custom shape and color scheme. _________________ Getting in a rush only slows you down.

That's the one., it cocks pretty easy and is actually quite accurate, the whisper stock looks close, but I don't think they sell it separately. I don't think I'll take up woodworking, too many other hobbies. I was thinking on something maybe more tactical, with some afternmarket shotgun or pistol parts? or parts off airsoft stuff? If you have any homemade guns post a pic, this might be a lot of fun.   Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 8:23 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Schwinnn makes nice gun parts... http://www.airgunhome.com/agforum/viewtopic.php?t=6346&start=0 _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 10:41 am Robw Veteran Member Joined: 30 Jan 2013 Posts: 441 I think that it is very cool that someone finally came up with a good use for schwinn bike frames. They are sure not any good for handling on a bike. _________________ Getting in a rush only slows you down.

May have to also hit a swap meet or two, I've been contemplating grafting the mechanism into an airsoft stock or BB gun stock   Posted: Tue Mar 26, 2013 3:56 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Here's another idea. I knew it had appeared on this forum; it just took a while to find it. It's a B-11 by kanyon: http://www.airgunhome.com/agforum/viewtopic.php?p=37437&highlight=b11#37437 _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Tue Mar 26, 2013 5:15 pm CENTURION Member Joined: 18 Jan 2013 Posts: 71 Slavia wrote: Here's another idea.

It's a B-11 by kanyon: http://www.airgunhome.com/agforum/viewtopic.php?p=37437&highlight=b11#37437 Thanks, looks nice would make a good re-purpose of the Delta guts. I actually tried to epoxy the stock, but the polymer it's made out of doesn't hold a bond. I was starting to contemplate using PVC pipe (don't know if they extrude it in black?). One of these days I'll figure something to do with this. Shame the stock broke, it was a nice little gun. Hope my other polymer stuff doesn't do this.   Posted: Tue Mar 26, 2013 7:57 pm lampy Veteran Member Joined: 04 Aug 2012 Posts: 297 Location: South Dakota Do the front stock screws come in from the bottom or the side. The reason I ask is I have a Daisy 120 stock made by El Gamo I would let go for the cost of shipping. The front stock screws on the Daisy come in from the bottom. If you are interested let me know. _________________ Too many projects to list.
