Removed the OEM check piece from my Akela and I’m going to give these Picatinny indexing clips a try.

What have you done with your airgun today?
- Thread starter qball
- Start date
Needed to find a spot in my 5’x 9’ gun room to mount my LCS to. The room is pretty packed as it was designed and set up for reloading. I finally found the best spot to mount it, right on the wall behind the gun vise that my impact is nestled in.
Now I got the two cousins next to each other, and ones bantering about how accurate he is over the other, while the other is bragging about being able to throw more lead downrange!

After more reconsiderations I decided I have way too many 20-30 yard guns so I decided to reconfigure my PP700 for 20 and closer. A cheap amazon reflex sight is the ticket and comfortable hitting a nickel with CPHP out to 20 yards. Plenty for squirrels out to 20 yards and only 3.498lbs with moderator, proper backpack gun if you ask me.

Tried out my amazon prime special bipod on my Fusion 2. Worked great. Now I can actually sit up straight instead of hunching down to the table I've been using as a bench. Also added some picatinny rails for the bipod and a few other items.
Also mounted up the prototype for my own barrel-shroud-mounted picatinny rails that I designed and 3D printed out of PETG. I was originally going to design a whole iron sight system I could 3D print, but then realized I could buy some cheap iron sights off Amazon and just add the rails to the barrel shroud. SO MUCH EASIER. I also plan on replacing the original scope mounting rings with something that is quicker to remove so I can use the iron sights. Hmm... I wonder if I could sell these shroud mounts as a kit for the Fusion 2?
As for why, I say "Why not!" haha. Actually, its because sometimes, I just like to use iron sights. Its just a mood thing.
Before anybody says anything, yes, I know the rails kinda interfere with the CO2 chamber. I already plan on using a shorter version, since it will just be for an iron sight.

Added couple of subtle blings to my crown and shot prone on my modular shooting mats for a bit. Big thanks to @tdhouser1964!

Got some bling in for my Umarex Fusion 2, so naturally I through it on.
New quick detach scope mount, picatinny iron sights, and shoulder strap rings. (Not a fan of "quick detach" lanyards.)
Surprisingly, the iron sights lined up very well with the scope. Both need sighted in of course, but no interference between the iron sights and the scope.

Got my bipod and bag shooting system mostly sorted. Maybe one day I’ll join the fun at RMAC.

Oh, you're in trouble.
Buy lots of PETG in the colors you want. It's great for prototyping. Just have to remember to temper it after a print so it's stronger.
I just got done testing the 3D printed picatinny rail for mounting iron sights on my Fusion 2. I was landing all my shots with a quarter once I had it dialed in. Then I knocked the front sight out of alignment. Grrrrrr!

Shot the new Diana 34 .177 classic today. Still testing for the right pellet, and enjoying the gun a lot.

I know I’m in trouble. LOL!
Already spent hours watching fusion 360 tutorials and prototyped at least10 different variations of moderator baffles/inserts in fusion 360 and the slicer program, my printer isn’t even here yet. Octopi with camera are setup and ready to go……yeah, this is already bad! Even my son has picked out enough ready to print things for days! With 10 filament spools in route I need to setup a print farm at the current rate!

I just added some ventilation holes to some cans. Wanna make sure they can breathe!
And started working on a set of lefty cherry grips for my son's pistol to match the my righty grips.

finally got my grubby little hands on couple of Ernest’s carbon liner sleeves that I’ve been waiting on for months!!! Finally my 177 and .22 heavy liners are much stiffer now……..
I feel so naked and insecure without ernest’s carbon liner sleeves. Like what they say, it’s what’s inside that counts right?
