Hi mate, I have had my shroud shortened mate and a twink mark 2 silencer fitted to my r10, plus other bits and pieces done including a custom quick fill plug made to stop dust getting into my filling area when shooting.

 

The place where I had it done is called a and m custom gunsmiths. They are on the Internet.

 

I had it done with all my tweaks and the silencer for just over a tonne pal, but I live 10 minutes from his when I'm over in the Uk so I didn't need to pay for postage.

 

I'm not sure what addi will charge now mate so you would be better chatting to him on the phone.

 

His contact details are on his website.

 

He is highly recommended and has been used by lots of regs on this site for work on their rifles.

Yes Addie just shortened my shroud Pipa as when we took the shroud off the he found out that the r10's barrel is a carbine one and short anyway.

 

He then made a fitting with a allen key head to customise a Twink Mark 2 silencer to the barrel once he had cut the shroud.

 

He also fitted a new seal deep within my r10 as it had pessished with time and use and then changed the length of pull of my cocking bolt as it didnt fit the magizine perfectly.

 

He's a really good bloke Pipa and well worth a chat.

 

As Rob said buddy, give him a call, I'm sure he will be happy to speak to you.

 

Here is mine with my scope camera fitted.
