I also bought some bronze flange bushings which were only a few bucks off Amazon, drilled and cut to size and used them in those front stock screw holes. Now the screws never touch the plastic stock or put any pressure on it and reinforce the holes.http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=98944.0

Bronze bushings should be soft enough for a hack like me to deal with, but strong enough for the compressive force of the fastener.
No wait... It's not a typo.I bought a Webley ValueMax .20 for the sole purpose of swapping the .20 barrel into the Hatsan 1000s. Why? Because I can. And because I love to tinker outside the box. And because nothing gives me more pleasure than stacking pellets with a $100 gun as can be done with a $500 gun. And because if I want to continue living under my roof I wouldn't do these things with a $500 gun. Matter of fact, I've never even had my hands on a $500 springer. I experience them through you guys. I've also been known to get up in the morning and remember I left a gun out on the deck. Glad it wasn't a $500 gun.So, the Hatsan was bought new at my local pawn shop for ? less than $100.... closer to $50. The Webley from Amazon for $100. Never could get the Hatsan to group and I now blame it on poor lockup... weak weak weak. I can shake the gun and pop it open. I'll address that later. I unboxed the Webley and after shooting a few shot I wondered what advantage I would gain from swapping the barrel. I do like the Hatsan stock better. So, I just swapped the complete action. Can I just say.... Man, what a hammer!! Why don't they make more .20 springers?To be continued...
I'd like that. You're talking carbine now. And probably closer to 6 pounds.
