Recently a nice crown wearing a GRS stock found its way to the classifieds. Subsequently it found its way to my door. It really was in good shape as advertised to include the tiny blemish on the shroud. My intent was to just install the GRS on to my crown and use the recent one as a project....ie hydro dip the stock and try other barrel lengths.
So, says I, that 500 barrel could lose a couple of millimeters and the extra shroud from an older impact looks just about right for a shorty shroud. Boom ! Just like that I've got a 400mm crown (not 380mm). Odd note my 500mm crown liner That I cut was only 482mm long while a fx impact 700mm liner is 700mm long. ???? Not sure of fx measuring protocols. The 82mm that I amputated came off the breech end to maintain the pellet choke on the liner. Gotta say the shorter barrel is handy. We'll see if it shoots tho'
