What is that please?

Try aladdinz.co.nz for the lower adapter block, it may be a modified version of one he sells although there was one similar he had available but hasn't been able to get hold of again. The mount itself is from AliExpress. I've gone away from that style though as they have a number of downsides compared to the standard style mounts.

looking at the pics on Trademe, is that a moderator fitted? Reason being is I had a 98 before and the thicker barrel was a sleeve over the actual barrel, but you could see the seam line when looking at the front crown of the barrel, yours looks seamless, maybe just a newer model story. Please excuse my questions, I'm genuinely interested.

Ask away Smithie!

It's a solid piece of steel with a bore bigger than the barrel. It screws onto a standard 1/2' x 20 UNF thread on the short (320mm from memory) barrel, which is also fitted with an external steel sleeve. So all very heavy with a positive lock at the breech. The extension can be replaced with a moderator, either is needed to have sufficient length to cock the gun.

Thanks for clearing that up
