Got back into air rifles about a year ago, and bought myself a cheap starter gun...a Gamo Coyote, not the most pretty gun but quite accurate and fairly consistent (UK based so limited to 12 ftlbs)
Anyway as i mostly target shoot the first thing i wanted to change was the stock, as the std item is not the most comfortable, so got myself a lump of America Ash and set about making one to suite me, came out quite well if a say so myself, also modded the trigger as its pretty rubbish, i have now recently made a barrel shroud, and fitted a regulator and made an SSG device, sorry the pic is not great, will take some more when i have finished the new air stripper.

Looks sweet! How does she shoot? Is that the Hubble Telescope you've got mounted? ;D

Forgot about this, thanks Paul, it is surprisingly accurate, trigger is not great but with a bit of tweaking its OK, the Hubble is a 40X magnification as i like to shoot at long range and challenge myself.

Beautiful work Richard! Really makes it looks like a high end custom rifle with the gold accents and stock 8)

Great looking gun Richard.

Very nice work.. 8)
In the long run I want to make a light Skeletonized the stock for my Buccaneer .177... Luckily I live where it is able to send the heavy 13g-16g stuff...
Right now it is wearing a 1970 or so japan 4x32 (just a fine wire ret)...I am having my fun at 30-45 yards with cheap 10.3 CPUM from the tin... once I drop fill pressure to about 2500 psi it puts them exactly where aimed...
it amazes me just how many different pellets the BSA barrel does very well with...

very nice work there

That stock is a fine example of woodworking at its best very nice workmanship
