The Most Compact Adjustable Marauder Pistol Stock Preview

[LeE]

I don't have a Prod, but it looks like it would fit just about anything with a dovetail.

Too cool!

The current model for the Prod did fit the 2400 but since it is a smaller gun, I going to make the dovetail mounting block more compact to the gun. There was a little more overhang than I liked but that's exactly why I bought one so I can test fit and measure. While the current design will fit other guns, I make no guarantees other than what the model was designed for. I am always open to suggestions if there is another model of gun you would like to see a stock or accessory for.

I think one that would fit a p17 would be neat. More leverage should make that gun easier for my wife. It would likely make a decent enough standin for over lever pistols to test with.

That video is nothing, just wait until tomorrow. Chips are going to FLY when I run the final operation!
I have this shinny new CNC Mill in my garage so I am deeply invested in cranking out quality stocks and taking on custom work.
I got a hold of a Crosman 2400 carbine so that will be the next gun I will making a purpose built stock for. I don't yet have a PP700 but I am going to get a MKII when I can find one for a good price so I can design a side folding stock for it. Something that allows you to use it as both a pistol and a carbine and can be mounted on either side. Due to the limited rail space for optics, the stock mount will be dovetailed on top so you can still use your favorite scope or red dot.

Oh man, that sounds neat! please don't make a really cool stock for the MKII, I'm really trying to keep this one a pistol Just kidding.
 
One thing you may not have seen. On the MKII, the dovetail has a radius at each end. So, slip on is not really an easy option for this one. the only way to slip on a dovetail item, separate the shroud from the breech. Now, each dovetail section has an open end.

I'm really liking these little PCP pistols. I did have some regulator trouble with my MKII but it was easily solved by changing the Belleville stack. Overall, fun little guns as pistols, easier to shoot as a carbine I'm sure.

The price vs performance from the reviews I have seen is quite exceptional and they look like a fun gun to plink and pest with. Thanks for the insight on the MkII on the dovetail configuration. It sounds like the solution will be like scope rings how one side has a small clamping section. This would eliminate the need to disassemble the MKII and save the time and hassle.

Yes sir, a clamp type dovetail would be ideal for the MKII. I'm having lots of fun plinking with the MKI(red dot) and MKII(2-6 pistol scope). I haven't drawn blood with either yet. As with most lower FPE air guns, I'm sure if you put the pellet where it needs to go the result will be a clean kill.

Here is the first operation teaser on the butt plate. The second opp is going right now.

Here is the final machining opp for the butt plate. For the sake of time, I didn't record the whole thing being machined. Let me know if you guys are interested in more machining videos and I can setup my Gopro from above for better angle.

Lee,

Post if you got um

Question, will the butt plate be formed top and bottom like the one in your pictures or flat like in the CAD drawings? doesn't really matter just wondering.

Also, do you do your own anodizing?

Sure thing!

For the post opp, the stocks will be fitted to a jig and the top will be formed in the 12 ton press. I was going to form the bottom but I found it more comfortable to keep the bottom flat when I shouldered it.

I don't currently do anodizing but that is something I would like to offer in the future. The butt plate and dovetail mounting block will be powder coated black.

Hi Lee,

Not having the lower bend sounds good, I was thinking it might dig in a bit, hard to say without shouldering it

PC is good stuff! I do a little myself. I started PC coating my cast boolits, you can treat them more like a jacketed bullet once you get the PC coating right

I PC my cast boolits too!! STRONG STUFF! If 1200fps into a berm isn't going to flake off PC, hardly anything will.

Hi Lee,

Hope you had a nice,relaxing holiday weekend!

I really like my PC boolits, cleaner, no lube mess and can drive them harder. not really anymore effort than lube sizing IMHO.

Any update on the stocks?

Couldn't agree more, PC boolits are the way to go. Even Federal has taken notice with their line of range ammo.

I was hoping to wrap up production this past week but had a couple hiccups and worked the whole weekend from dawn to dusk to makeup time. The mounting blocks are done. Just  have 2 small components to finish. I will for sure have it out this week. I apologize for the delay.

Dang Lee, sorry to hear you worked all weekend

Thank you very much for the extra effort to get the stock's out. Still, take break man! I know I'm not in that big of a hurry to get mine

Hello all. I want to thank you all for your patience even though I am running a week behind as I played catch up and recovered from a few pot holes along the way. Great news, no more delays!! Stocks are complete and I will begin shipping them out tomorrow.

[Norm_m]

Looking good Lee!! Thanks for the Update!

When will you be making more of these to sell?

[Dairyboy]

Those look fantastic! Of course I'm gonna be gone Tuesday night to Friday morning this week  but I guess I'll get it when I get back 

[LeE]

When will you be making more of these to sell?

I have more material on the way. Shoot me a PM or Email if you want one. I am planing to have the next run completed by the third week of this month.
