Some Crosman Competition wadcutters. I understand these are free of casting lines, so I'll be testing with the PP700 (might have to drop the regulator down a wee bit)My folding carbine stock from Wes (WesBob) up in Canada for the PP700Also got an inexpensive AR stock- for the 1740Though not an airgun, grabbed a flatband slingshot "for when the pellets get low"... Can never have enough slingshots!And a 2 ounce tub of silicone grease since I finally ran out of my halocarbon lube (designed for pressurized oxygen system).Do you like the "flatband" over the surgical tubing? I have an older "wrist rocket" but the only bands I find now are from Daisy. Never found a flatband to try.I can't say I have a preference. My ancient TruMark tube-bander is my favorite slingshot bar none. Killed more pigeon than you could shake a dozen sticks at using it, but it's my favorite because I've had it 29 years. I don't buy store-bought bands. Order up some surgical tubing online or run to a big-box hardware store- they have it. Rather than tie off the ends, I kept all the plastic doohickeys off old bands so I can use custom leather pouches with surgical tubing bands. Since I have long arms, my tubes are also longer than "stock". I have a regular folding wrist-rocket that's great for traipsing in the woods, but if I had to rely on a slingshot for food, a flatbander would be my first choice since you can stow it much more easily and a roll of Theraband material gives you a lot of bands. I prefer flatbanders that clamp the end of the band. I have significant nerve damage in my fingers and tying them off just takes me too darn long. Flatbanders are also faster, meaning more energy, unless you start playing with multi-band slingshots. Been seriously thinking about converting my folder over to an arrow-sling, but I may just opt for buying another slingshot with a clamp for a flashlight- would be perfect for mounting a chopped fishing rod to mount a reel for "sling-bow-fishing".

Received my folding stock the other day from Wes (WesBob) and attached it. Very sturdy. Great to deal with Wes, super easy and excellent communication.Of course then I was a victim of bargain gate Friday night, ordering a Hatsan AT-P2 in .22. 1/2 off was too hard not to pass up.
To the shoulder very sturdy. There is some play folded, but minimal.
