Another nice build Tom. Nice to see them coming together for you.
That is a very very nice build you have almost completed there Tom! I think you'll definitely have more cheaper fun in .20 than .30...you will not be counting each shots cost! LOL! Can't wait till you have finished this beauty.
I was curious if this was still in the works. I think in .20 caliber will be a great change. Really looking forward to this getting finished!

I think you'll definitely have more cheaper fun in .20 than .30...you will not be counting each shots cost! LOL! Can't wait till you have finished this beauty.I really only changed the caliber because I've always wanted a .20 Theoben, and I already have too many .30's When all my projects are done, I'll have 3: my dispatch pistol, my Poor man's Leshiy, and my Impact. I don't need another .30 cal gun. I figured, since the barrel shroud hasn't been started yet, why not? Also, he has the parts to use or modify (or can make them). I figure it's easier/faster this way. I'm hoping I can get this rifle this year... So I can get to work on the stock- I'm really looking forward to another stock build! When I first thought about changing over to .20, I wanted the same carbine configuration I posted above, but with a 300cc tank. But I the 480cc tank he's got isn't much longer than the 300cc tank, and it's not worth the expense of shipping. Plus, all the shrouds he can modify to work w/the carbine are made for a 480cc length tank. Again- it's just faster/easier this way.
You might not need a reg with that huge bottle and .20 caliber...you can fill to your tunes sweet spot and still get many shots with a tight ES! Too bad the shroud won't fit with the V style RAW fill and reg. LOL...not hard on yourself, just the way YOU WANT your rifle to be!
Maybe a titanium dark gray cerakote? Huma has a reg that is shorter than an OEM one so one gains a little more plenum space but they come in 16.5mm (HM) threads and 19mm (newer HMx receiver) so check before buying. I have a Chassis on mine and with all the after market butt stocks (foldable if one desires) and grips available, makes it easy to build to your liking, plus it’s about a pound lighter than the laminates. You’re getting close!
