The stock was built by a very clever guy up north. He is an engineer and made all the metal work which includes scope rail/ airtube clamps and trigger linkage.
Stock was originally made to convert a Marauder rifle into a bullpup for a while, but later adapted slightly to accomodate this AA S510.

Jawbfrog, I bought it from Paul, so as he says above… 👍🏻
I took her out yesterdaay afternoon for her first pesting mission.
Got 2 pigeons and about 7 mynas 👍🏻
I’m in need of a good scope for her. There were two auctions on trwdeme that I had been watching which closed yesterday afternoon, but I was so busy having fun I completely forgot to put in my last minute bids…
Was so cross with my self 😡😡😡

So I’ve named my little S510. I’ve called her Elly.
I needed to get some super high rings which have taken a while to get, but eventually I got them.
I’ve just fitted a 6-24x50 FFP scope, on the super high QD rings, might be a bit of an overkill, but it’s a nice scope and I’m happy with it.
Now all I need is somewhere to go shoot where I can zero the scope. It sucks living in the middle of town and not being able to shoot in my back yard.

Managed to zero the scope today after work.
I’m really chuffed with this group 👍🏻
I think I get some bragging rites 😂

I wouldn't expect anything less. That gun used to make me giggle at some shots it produced. It'll be interesting to see your groups at longer distances when you get a chance.

Took Elly out for her first bit of rabbit control tonight.

Was a cold night, but not raining, so I went for a walk around a new permission.
With a thermal scope on Elly I set off with my shooting sticks, head light, double layers of tracksuit pants and Stoney ridge fleeces and a spare little mag in my back pocket.

I should have put the whole tin of JSB exacts into my back pocket because I ran out of ammo half way round my lap of the paddocks 😡.
I could easily have taken twice as many rabbits if I had more pellets with me.
I lost count somewhere around 10, but I think the final number of bunnies left sleeping in the darkness was around 14.

Not bad for just over an hours work/walk.
Definatly need to plan a few more visits back to this new permission.
