Corvid Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I bought this "Wildcat" style stock some 3 years ago from Paul at laminategunstocks.co.uk (who I gather have since closed, unfortunately), and finally, two VSRs and two Dremmel tools later (long story), it's finally complete! I guess I let life get in the waqy of airsoft a bit, so it sat collecting dust in a semi-bedded, horribly rough state (I could have bought a pre-finished one, but I'd have wrecked the finish fitting the VSR in I reckoned!). Ironically, it's got me back into airsoft after near enough 3 year out the hobby... I literally cannot wait to get this thing out on the field! Not only is it my first sniper rifle (I come from a 300fps at 38rps AEG background... the range an upgraded VSR has is a whole knew view on skirmishing!), but it feels and looks just as I'd hoped it would. I'll shut up and post some photos! A tricky project for someone very much underskilled in woodwork such as myself! Thankfully getting the rifle working nicely at the end of it was something I could do well! Any questions, just ask, it's pretty simple really. I'll post photos of the inside if anyone want them.

GlockworkOrange Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Very nice! Not my kind of stock style personally, but certainly unique! Link to post Share on other sites
Corvid Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Thanks! Yeah, I can well imagine it's not most people's style to be honest, I'd personally go for a more.... military style too, but hat stock just captivated me for some reason! I think I may have been corrupted by wooden air rifle stocks somewhat... that said, I was cured the moment I realised I could actually BUY the new ICS MP5, which I first heard about some 4 or 5 years ago, I honestly thought ICS has dropped it!

RSM Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Good lord it's Corvid, haven't seen you round these parts in a while (Dan here) Beautiful looking rifle, I think I remember you showing a picture of the stock on it's own to me some time ago. Link to post Share on other sites
Corvid Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yes indeed! This glorious hobby has me in it's grip once again! Can't wait to get back into a bit of high RoF... the perfect sidearm for any sniper! Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Nice work! Looks to be made for that airsoft springer... Link to post Share on other sites
Corvid Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I wish it was! I very nearly considered fitting some kind of internal magazine instead of the hassle involved with using the original mags, but decided it was too much of a pain to bother with. The amount of time I spent on it is laughable... people on here with the right skills and tools seem to churn out completely hand made stocks just like that! Worth it in the end, but you could not pay me enough money to do it again without a woodwork shop! I'll stick to high RoF methinks! Link to post Share on other sites
