still have a few rifles...

suppose it's time to spam the forum with photo's of old AA's
one of these MPR's was bought new (& stripped for fiddlin before having a scope fitted or a shot fired ) and the other was btas regged BUT improved massively by reverting to the un-regged valving etc.
add my Venom mk1 TX200 (.177") into the mix...
RUST!
thats what a few years in a guncase does....
and again, rust on one of the MPR's..
wonder what the barrel looks like behind the carbon shroud
this stock has stayed with me, was on the GML I bought (in '96??) & I actually thought it was a bit of dirty wood...
I had this stock 'cast' - the cheakpiece on a standard AA item tapers away from the rifle's centreline giving variable eye-relief & sight-picture so this was 'bent' to straighten - actually was bent enough to taper the opposite direction but after ~14 years it's started to relax back
little personalisations to help with repeatable results...
does this look any different to standard? honestly I cannot remember
another view.
modified an ebay silencer adapter, was actually cheaper than my lathe-time
this is because I prefer the eralier 'older' Foster type filler valve over AA's slip-on setup and this adds some length so will not work with conventional 'off the shelf' adapters
the Venom wood.
More to come (as I have a few rifles ) but Imgur has had a fit
