Quote from: Taso1000 on December 04, 2018, 08:58:35 PMDoes anyone know if there is an adult proportioned stock for these rifles? The length of pull is easily fixed but I wish the grip was thicker. I guess some filler can take care of that if I opted.Thanks,TasoI have a Monte Carlo stock version. I originally thought the stock was too short and made huge spacers, but eventually backed it down to maybe 2-3” of extension. It helps to shoot with your elbow down instead of out. Mine is configured with a vertically adjustable buttpad and sight risers. I’m 6’2” and have very long arms, yet my setup is comfortable for me. I do not wrap my thumb around the back of the grip, so grip size is less of a concern. JMJ

.75" is also 19mm FWIW. I'll keep looking for you as I've been everywhere on the net looking for items like that for myself.Reason I asked about markings on the stock is that I first saw a CMP 853 on ebay a few weeks ago and it had terrible sharpie and painted on numbers on the stock. Since you're going to refinish yours, and it's stenciled (indicating a surface layer of paint) yours should come out looking great.I guess for the price though, it's something one could overlook.Can't wait to see how yours come out.
My CC charged on the 11th, hopefully get mine by this Sat. I've been using my gamo 1000 for my clubs informal 10 meter shoots. Early Christmas for me.
