Well not getting any better grouping.
Had a couple of promising groups but they opened up with a few staggering sideway movements, random drops. Guessing seals, barrel locks tight. Open sights. Think I'll sort out the stock contact so it's even. Then toy with the gel idea. Seals and sight over the next month or so and it should stabilises. Or so the theory goes. What sort of group sizing are ppl achieving at the moment. I definitely wouldn't call mine head shot accuracy at ten meters, consistent. |

I haven't filled the cavities will silicone. Just contact or supposed contact points.
My thinking these days is to cut the ribs down, still in shape. Glue a thin flat plastic length to the ribs forming a to large trough for the air cylinder, then a layer of shock gel between them. Probly from a running insole. Talks cheep, but I guess this the perfect gun to try it on. It should absorb some of the shock waves |

I had used fibreglass bog to bed a springer years ago. I wrapped the action in gladwrap and fixed it into the stock filled with bog. It worked well. It was a wood stock I had made, so it didn't need as much as a hollow synthetic stock would need.
The other option could be to reduce any contact points to only fixing screws, OR sliding recoil reducing mounts!!!

Thanks Kiwi, all good to know.
Kruza, why silicone? If u were going for a “glass bedding” effect surely use something that will set solid for the cylinder to bed in? Silicone is going to wobble like jelly and offer no support to the cylinder? |

It will complement the stock colour well Billbob.
Being a fan of the ironic, can't think of a gun more suited to the irony. 😂 |

Pete, a couple of photos for you. I want the rear ring for my Tasco to sit at the rearward extreme of the dovetail grooves which places the lock pin and hole to suit well clear of the piston stroke and into the plastic spring stop/trigger block area. The first yellow dot from the RH side in the pic is where the usable part of the grooves end. The middle dot is where I'll drill for the stop. The LH mark is where the plastic plug ends which is 59mm from the open end of the cylinder. The cylinder wall is 2.0mm thick (a little more than I thought). After drilling make sure you clean any sharp edges from the hole on the inside or you will damage components when you remove and reinstall them.  |
