gurtwurz 793 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 hi lads, sweeneys recent work on his s200 stock has got me thinking about a few minor changes to das kraut, mainly to make it a bit lighter as traipsing up the sides of the valley is wearing me out a bit(chest infection and smoking aint helping either!) one of the things i was considering was an ally air resevoir and i'm wondering if anyones tried one, and if so, how much difference does it make? i was gonna go through A+M gunsmiths cos their reputation on THL is first rate, its not gonna be for a while til i've got a spare couple of quid... if an ally resevoir's considerably lighter i'm thinking about skeletonising the stock to maintain the balance and shave a couple of ounces off to boot. all info gratefully received, thanks for reading cheers, wurz Quote Link to post
