Thank you! I don't know how I missed that post, I really appreciate you posting it here. I sent him a note. Thanks again so much!

Thank you! So the bullpup kit I finally find will end up on a bolt action. Anyone have a clue where or how I can search the most effectively for a used one? Even if it costs money.

For those that know the history of aftermarket options, were there ever any bullpup kits available for the Maurader semi auto, or were they all for the bolt action, or would the kit fit both? Also, where would be the best place to advertise that I'm looking for one, even if it's a paid ad? I...

Did you ever come up with an ideal pellet for accuracy? I saw somewhere online someone recommended H&N Baracuda Match Domed .22 Caliber / 21.14 Grains and they load and work great for me, but I'm not an expert. I have the Gammo Magnum Swarm Geni3 with the 10 shot clip and mostly go after...

Was this made for the Marauder, or is this for something else and you're modifying it? There seem to be very limited (nothing...?) currently available for a bullpup kit for a SAM that is new, so I'm interested to find out what you come up with as far as a solution.

I just bought a farmhouse that is overrun by squirrels- and I mean a LOT. It's been a 50+ year problem here because of the dense trees and years of nobody doing anything about it. Even though they are mostly out of the house, there are a zillion waiting to move in. So I have narrowed down the...

But what would be an awesome spec? I don't understand 3x9 or 4x16 or whatever, if I'm shooting between 25-100 feet from me (not yards) and want the best pinpoint accuracy, are there any suggestions? Also something that can handle the recoil of the springer.

I didn't realize that there were brands that offered a no questions asked lifetime warranty. If there is a specific brand that offers a 1990's Sears Craftsman type warranty, and is the most easy going about it, who would that be? What brand would that be? That might be a good place to start...

Might I ask what you use to be so exact at 25yards? That first picture is impressive.

This guy is FASCINATING and truly an artist. I discovered him because he made some miniature metalworking equipment which is my first interest, but I remember some of the guns he did are just as impressive. If you follow his FB you can see what he's currently working on, though he's making...

I just got a Gammo Magnum .22 Gen 3i. It comes with a 3x9 scope that's meh but works. If I were to stack 2 risers onto each other (to make it comfortable for me, (a permanent injury adjustment) I need the scope to be higher than the gun by a good bit) what would be a really good scope...

I got a Gammo Swarm Magnum .22 Gen3i It comes with a 3-9 x40 scope and the people on YouTube who reviewed it keep saying it's "not bad". I actually built a small U shaped enclosure so I can put food out and shoot at the squirrels at the same distance each time, to keep the shooting...

I'm sort of new to hunting pests, where hitting your target where you want to is really important. Not only did I get a gun with great accuracy, I ordered the match grade pellets. Of course I'm doing research and also practicing, but I'm still wondering if a very high end scope is just nicer...

Before I spend a lot of time on STL files and design and so on, I have this idea of making an oversized suppressor. I know that practical use scenarios prevent suppressors from being a certain size, but if I didn't care about interfering with the scope or looking silly, and would just raise the...

What an unbelievably helpful and active forum! I just posted this an hour ago... I've learned years ago that if you want to be exceptional in a field or at a task, just find a quality forum to go to for research. I have been disappointed the last few years as people seem to have migrated to...
