What's this build? Also not clear if you want to sell the rifle or just show off the build

You should be very fearful of armadillos....and fearless albino turkeysAren’t armadillos like major carriers of bad disease? I’ve read thd scat and saliva of raccoons are no joke and not to be taken lightly, and armadillos(I’ve heard) are even worse? Am I correct or off base?
Sorry my memory isn't what it used to be. I can't recall how long it took, sorry. I want to say it was about 6-8 weeks.How long of a wait to get it?
Love my Vulcan 3 in 30 but you'll be limited on ammo. Bore is actually 3063 but you can get slugs from AVS or get a slug press eventually with a custom die. It takes a bit more to tune as no external adjustments. Even to adjust the hammer spring you need to remove the stock. With that said it's accurate. I'm shooting 54gn slugs at 976 fps and actually tuned it down a bit, was shooting 60gn at that speed. Here's a head shot I had at 90 yards on a squirrel https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/head-shot-thread.1312648/post-1779147I currently have a avenger .25 and I'm wanting jump into a better long range rifle something capeable and accurate enough for rabbits or other critters out to 100 to 150 yards. I was contemplating a fx m3 but now I see the m4 is coming out it would be a bit before I pull the trigger on a new toy. I'm just wondering what would be a better caliber I would also want to use it for extended Prarie dog shooting. But mainly for them lil evil threatening rabbits that are teasin me outside the range of my avenger
Thanks for chiming in! I'm only a hobby guy with a pcp and great 3d printer. This is my 2nd attempt at designing a tech stock which is for my Altaros M24.I came here looking specifically for this. Very good work and great timing. My first pcp very excited. Excited to design and print some stuff. If you want another mind on it feel free to reach out to me.
yeah, try it out! you don’t have to zero to 100 yards either. i also use the laser to help with hold over and hold under for range estimations while looking through the scope as well.Interesting idea, never thought about it. I only used boresighters. The problem with mounted lasers might be that small adjustment screws do not allow precise aiming on long distances. I.e. it would be hard if even possibly adjust laser to POI at 100 yards. But as I said, I never thought nor tried this approach. Thank you for the suggestion!
I don't know the M3 I have MK2 only.
The scope picatinny rail is a separate piece from action block and it is adjustable. Yes, that rail can be far off.
I enlarged the screw counterbore holes for that same reason to allow more offset.
The best how to tune that rail?
Set the scope to a mechanical center and mount it on the rail.
Take a larger sheet of cardboard and draw a vertical line, mount it to a backstop making sure the vertical line is in plumb line.
Shoot that vertical line from 5 yard and 30 or 50 y walking there and back and adjust the rail .... until both the near and far distance shots hits the same line.... or the holes are a same distance to the line.
And only now you can go an zero your scope windage.
Thank you! I put it in the top list. Thanks for the insights!I have been watching YouTube videos on M4 since M4 has been released.
A lot of things have already been said in the videos. But I understand that an important comparison between M4 and M3 has not been made, neither their pros and cons have been discussed.
My following video gives insight into the pros and cons and comparison.
I hope it would be interesting for technical readers.

It has 3 triggers so you don't have to replace it for any reason. You get Hunting, FX, and Match Grade all in one trigger.Someone needs to pull apart the trigger and see why the trigger isn’t compatible.
where i live (cyprus) a .177 is enough ,as the biggest animal we have for hunting is the crow. and with 45°c in the summer i dont even want to walk 50 meters to retrieve what i shot@SorenDrost might be able to share a little knowhow on the .177 / 4.5 mm ghost, as i recall he have one of those too, or have handled one for sure.
Yeah the small caliber are a bit funny to work with, seeing others with the same gun but a larger caliber get smacking power 2-3-4 X higher, and also reach much further with what look to be more ease.
I am pretty sure if i was able to shoot .22 / 5.5 mm i would also shoot pellets a lot more CUZ PPL seem to do 100 yards just fine in .22 with pellets
The original hammer in my FX Maverick is quite small and it do not allow for very much power / speed with heavier stuff, but i also have a sneaky feeling it is a SUB 12 rifle that was hastely converted and dropped on the Danish FAC market,
So i have the Huma power kit with 2 brass hammers and a spring + pin probe, and of course dual transfer port.
Just put the heaviest hammer in the Maverick, CUZ i am now at 150 BAR on the regulator to be able to push 20 and 24 grain slugs at worth while speeds.
Friday + Saturday, well at least one of those seem to become a summer day, so 25 deg C or warmer, but so far the number of those we had i my area of the small country can be counted on 1 hand, " summer " been very spring like just 2 - 3 degrees warmer, but lots of clouds and also rain almost every day.
very bummed out CUZ it was the same Weather last year aside for May was quite warm for a spring month.
I think we might actually be able to have our delayed 4 of July chill out, the fire pir are for sure topped up and just need 0.5 L gasoline to get the wet wood there going.
I better remind my M8 to make some ice cubes for our whiskey
Glad to help.Sorry I didn't write a thank you note you got your baffles and got them in plus one got eight in the gun now and she's shooting good take a look at the little girl
There is a snarky comment in there that would be me banned for life, I'll pass, TYVM.You don't wish to join us for our hurricane parties?
I agree with that 100% but with a caveat. I'm a hunter before a target shooter just the way I was raised and do that mostly. To me taking an animal deserves the best accuracy to dispatch it quickly and takes priority over targets. So I choose the most accurate gun I can afford to do that. I shoot competitions but if I miss a target it's no biggie but if I wound an animal and it runs off to die an agonizing death not good on my part. So the need for consistent accuracy and no poi shifts is just as important to me probably more important. I'm willing to pay for that or do what I need to do to a gun to get that.I just had this discussion yesterday with a friend, how way back in the day when “adult airguns”(Dr Robert Beeman quote”) made the scene, this small market was targeting the people that wanted more than what a box store gamo pump up could offer. These people were probably already hunters, target shooters, but wanted something that could be accurate enough to hit a peanut at 30 yards, and were willing to pay for the quality that these guns showboated.
Then the market grew and then came thd daystates, the FX’s, and a lot of them were European built, all targeting that same group of people.
The guns were accurate enough for competition so now here comes along events like field target and such. Actual benchrest didn’t happen till years later, and that’s where FX gained in popularity as now they were creating these super super accurate platforms for now an even more specialized group of folks.
Understand that in todays “adult airgun” market, there are plinkers and there are hunters. These folks can do with a lot of the common platforms out there like the FX wildcats, Crowns, and for Daystate the hunstsman groups of guns are ideal for those folks. If a company wants to cater to the benchrest accuracy seeking folks, well then, that’s a whole new specialty. They can’t have the barrel that comes with the common Revere, or the common Impsct. They can’t have the same trigger that these “stock” guns have. The innards have to be better, and a customer wanting to truly dive into this arena will have to pay for it.
Then you have company’s like Skout, that full on developed a gun dedicated for the bench. Same with the panda, and the Thomas guns. Are they good enough to go to your first RMAC with? Sure they are. Are you wanting to outshoot a guy like Thayne that scored a 240? Well, now you’re gonna have to take that platform to an even higher level. Wether it comes from parts modifications, specialized ammo, or hours and hours on end testing(that part is more of me, lol), then that’s what one has to do.
I told this same person I was discussing this with, if today I decided to open up an airgun store, a boutique to cater to the folks with the $$ who want the best of the best, I would divide that store into two departments- one side for the “normal” folks that want the best for plinking and hunting, then a second department for the competitive folks. Same guns in each department, but different innards.
