I bought the stock on EBay for $7.00 plus P&P brand new and I couldn’t resist it, I had to cut the original trigger slot out a bit to accommodate the QB trigger and safety, shorten the front of the stock and alter the bit behind the Co2/valve tube, after all this I decided to strip off the original stain and redo it in a lighter shade. I find the new stock with the pistol grip a lot easier to shoot whether from a bench or standing, kneeling etc, so all in all I very pleased with the results. The only problem is I made this one for a friend so I now have another to make for myself.

The price is £3.99 UK or $7.00 US plus P&P about $8.00 US, so the whole thing cost $15.00, Large stocks of these are being sold off on Ebay at the moment overhere, you have to be quick though as they are soon gone.

That grip configuration makes it easier to manage a short buttstock. 2. It lets you align your trigger finger more parallel to the bore. 3. Force on the trigger is opposed by your palm immediately behind. This also facilitates a "straight back" trigger pull. Of course, the AK/AR guys have probably known this for years, but I'm just now discovering it. Did I mention it's beautiful? _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2011 1:54 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Hm, to be honest I don't really like the way it looks all that much. Can't tell why exactly though I guess it has to do with the way it is proportioned. Can't put my finger on it! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2011 2:02 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND broommaster2000 wrote: Hm, to be honest I don't really like the way it looks all that much.

To balance it up proportionally it needs 100mm of the barrel, but I not going down the avenue.

Maybe the pistol-grip is placed "to far forward". I like the rest of the gun though. _________________ BIG GAP My new QB/AGS     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Picture Gallery You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
