BAM 26 WITH BAMBOO SHARK FIN STOCK AND WALNUT TRIM (HOWIE1A CUSTOM)

I recently bought a BAM 26 with a custom modified stock from howie1a, and I wanted to post a review of the stock because it included a lot of custom work by howie and his work deserves comment. (I will attempt to attach a couple of pictures of the stock.)
The bottom line is that he did a fantastic job of adapting this stock (originally designed to fit the B25) so that it fits the B26. I had always liked the look of the Bamboo thumbhole stock, but had never bought one because I preferred the trigger on the B26, etc. and howie must have read my mind when he build this airgun! LOL!
If you have seen any of his work, you know he couldn't stop with just adapting the stock, so he also added some custom touches, with walnut trim on the pistol grip end and in between the butt pad and the stock. These little touches really make the stock unique. Here again, his workmanship is very good...
While you can't have THIS arigun/custom stock, I would like to strongly recommend howie1a to the members here if you ever want/need some custom stock work done. His work is excellet!

Sort of a 'PS' to my review of the stock...
This airgun was originally purchased by howie1a from Mike M., so I thought I might post my initial accuracy results:
I've only done some preliminary pellet tests to see what it "likes" -- howie1a had told me it seemed to shoot Crosman DestroyerEX's and GAMO Match wadcutters, and my results confirmed that they were the best out of 8 pellets I tested.
With DestroyerEX's, at 10 yards with open sights I shot a 0.54" (center-to-center) 5-shot group, with 4 out of 5 in a 0.16" group. This was from a rest, but at my age, I'm not as steady as I used to be, and open sights have a small "fudge factor" built in, so I was VERY impressed with the accuracy.
With GAMO Match's, under the same conditions, I shot a 0.31" 5-shot group, with 4 out of 5 in a 0.23 group..
Very good accuracy!
