yes there are, if you can find an RWS 240 stock it will drop right in, looks like a $200 rifle, I have two and am trying to get the factory to put that stock on the rifle, half the cost of making them is the stock so why not put a pretty one on it...umarex may have some of the stocks, cost more than the rifle but....

Is there any way to lighten the trigger pull on the XS12? I'm starting to get better at groups offhand but the trigger weight is really limiting me.

the trigger spring is what holds the sear in engagement....you can try cutting coils but then it may not cock or could release when you don't want it to....one of the reasons I am trying to get the Rekord trigger installed in the rifles...said I would get some but that was three years ago...

Thanks for the info. I will just let it be then. Did you get my shipping address by chance?
I have my XS12 torn down right now. Doing some minor modifications to it and have a surprise with the stock. Hopefully all goes well.

Awesome, thanks! I tried to measure the outside diameter (don't have calipers) of the XS12 barrel and came up with somewhere around .562" Would you happen to know what the exact diameter the XS12 barrel is? I ordered a .579" cocking aid for it, figuring I could always shim it if needs be.

So a 15mm barrel? Will any brake made for the QB79 Deluxe work?

What is everyone's take on the Xisico XS 12? I am in the works of purchasing one of these. The gentleman I am purchasing this rifle from states that it is "Tuned by Mike Melick. Stonework on loading port, recrowned barrel, Trigger work and lube and polished spring ends and lube. Checkering on forearm. Very smooth and quiet. Barrel centered vertical and horizontal. How do I know if Mike Melick did this work? I am new to guns being tuned and etc. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I love my B26 I purchased directly from Mike and recently picked up a XS28 with a MM modified trigger and the following mods from the seller.
Stock: factory checkering removed, stippling added; cheekpiece refined; tape-bedded and rear action shim added; forend bolts sleeved; forend relief cuts made for pivot bolt access; forend rounded; rear action bolt sleeved; refinished; all stock bolts replaced with stainless steel.
Trigger: Mike M. 2-screw modification, screw ends rounded and polished; trigger pins replaced with 1/8" tool steel pins; trigger blade polished (from black to silver); conical washer melted into trigger guard for action bolt bearing surface strength.
Action: all parts fully cleaned, then lubed with Maccari products (moly, heavy tar, clear tar); removed one coil from OEM spring, reclosed end, both ends polished; grade 8 polished washers between spring and tophat/spring guide; piston polished and buttoned with 7 Maccari "old school" buttons; Maccari large Apex piston seal; all factory cuts/stampings trued, polished, and moly'd; chamber cross-hatched; custom Delray spring guide and tophat; HDPE air sleeve added; cocking linkage trued, polished, moly'd.
Barrel: chopped (removed 2") and recrowned. Rear sight removed; scope rail epoxied to action. Have since added a 10" JM TK muzzle weight.
Can hardly believe the amount of work performed on this gun.

I started my own thread about my xs25 but I'll repeat it here, got a fully tuned one from mike and it's great. I bought the bamboo stocked version and it looks great and shoots the same as it looks. It's my first full sized pellet rifle and I half way wish I'd started with something cheap off the shelf from Walmart or somewhere just so I could appreciate this 25 more. I can say that the trigger is much better than any of my other firearms, except maybe my single six.
