hi mark
i made the mount to take the picatiny rail that i bought of a well known action site
yes i like the look of the long forend and it also gives a more normal hold

Stainless steel is really hard to thread and you want threads at the ends for adjustability. I've used M4 thread bar in my bullpups and it's stiff enough. You need to DIY the end forks though, a piece of aluminium works great for that:

Very nice, the linkage looks like what i had in mind, great job, nice to see people making their own rather than buying kits.
Regards, Mark.

One of the nicest ive seen. Reminds me of the Impact airguns gsx with the long forend.

How long did it take to dry the wood and what method did you use.cheers Waisted

Hi, the wood came from a dead branch brought down by high winds and was already dry, i just cut a piece from it, i chose to cut where the branch bisected into another branch as that makes for some interesting grain patterns. From the branch i cut a couple of planks and set to work, all in the same day, so choose dead wood recently fallen and no need to wait for it to dry.
Regards, Mark.

Thanks for the reply butts, I was curious because on your photos it looked like you had used raw wood. As it was all ready dead then it might be alright bye the way I like your work very original.

Judging by the amount of lead shot i found while working with the wood it was long dead before it hit the ground.
Butts, lol.

Your local radio controlled model shop, will have pushrods and clevises, ready threaded and made for an application very similar to pushing the triger back without any extra play or slackness.

Check those out

Ouch!

They use M3 threads and a M3 linkage (thread bar or straight bar) will flex too much with heavy hammer springs to give a good trigger feel. Been there tried that. Now a pull type linkage would work but it requires much more modifications for the trigger group.

The trigger on the HW is very light. Well on mine anyway.

It could work with very light trigger, the issues I had were with my Blizzard and it has fairly stiff hammer spring pushing against the sear to provide that 220 fpe.
