And for a while i've wanted one of these just to play around with and modify to myself. Today as soon as i got it out of the box the plan was to put a stock on it.
Here are the before and after pics for curious readers, and i'll post how i did this further down the post.
Before:
After:
Items used to modify the bow:
2 Paint rollers, Insulation tape and 'ranger' bands made from inner tube.
Removed the plastic handles from the paint rollers, then you'll be left with the below (this all cost me £3 from the quid shop) :
Add insulation tape so the bands have a snug fit (leave enough room for the metal stocks to be able to be inserted with a snug fit)
Place the bands on the cocking handle, then insert the stock pieces
Now you're pretty much done, secure with insulation tape if needs be, then as an added extra if you wish, add the spongy roller bits back onto the ends to give a cushy stock end then cover with insulation tape (makes it look a tad more sightly) :
End Product! :
Also gives a place to hold bolts!
All in all took about 1h 30 to go from everything being boxed to the end product. I know it looks a bit tacky at the minute, but I'll hopefully get around to spraying the metal. Also using the inner tubing means you can extend or reduce the stock, or remove it completely (i don't intend to).
Next to go on will be a scope and possibly a foregrip.
Let me know what you think!
) Might have to do it tomorrow.
