Ooo, I'd like to see some pictures of that snap-on buttstock design.
I'm trying to do a simple bracket behind one of the grip panels, similar to the HW system.
I have the Theoben buttstock approximately cut off, and I can see its going to be a bit of a game to shape the wood enough to get my thumb around the pistol's frame comfortably.
I know what you mean about pistol power, but I think theres something cool about a pistol carbine. It bridges the gap between rifle and pistol plinking. And its something that's been done traditionally (i.e. with Mausers).
I'm looking forward to getting it done. As long as it doesn't look too 'home-made' when its finished
