Thought id share a few pics of my recent project gun. It started off as a standard UK spec 1990 48/52 in 5.5mm, and ive spent the last 6 months picking away at the conversion....
The cylinder is now sleeved down from 28 to 25mm, running a lightened TX200 piston (200gr) and the stroke has been shortened to 80mm. Following this the SCR was out and despite fitting a 3mm restrictor the cycle still felt a little slammy, so the TP was sleeved down to 2.8mm, giving an SCR of around 1:1000.
Not what most of you guys are accustomed too I know! But it now makes a very comfortable 11.5fpe on a Titan No6 spring at 15mm preload, and recoil is no more than a gentle nudge in the shoulder.
The trigger linkage is of a pull type design using a lightweight 2mm carbon fibre rod, so all of the 1st and 2nd stage feel of and adjustment of the original T01 trigger is still present.
The barrel was cut to 10", and the shroud has a 1 peice baffle with 3" of chamber that reflexes to the rear. The 28mm ID Ali tube was powder coated at home in textured black using a Tribostatic gun.
The stock is American maple that has been ebonised, aged and oiled, and the final action finish is a custom mix midnight gold Cerakote.
Its all far from perfect, but its my first full conversion and stock, so on the whole quite happy how its come out
Thanks for looking
