I wanted a way to make a fore grip for my longshot that was easy to do, cheap, and looked somewhat aesthetically pleasing.
I think I have found a way to do this. It happened completely by accident. I was trying to figure out a new mod fore my longshot, something that has never been done before. So as I am looking at my longshot internals I picked up the boltsled and something dropped off my workbench and my brothers dog spooked and scratched the back of my leg. I dropped the bolt sled and went to go "tend my wounds" and when I came back and looked at my gun the bolt sled had landed flipped of its normal position. Then i said "I got it!" and this is what I came up with.

Tools:
Dremel
File
Drill

Supplies:
2 inch PVC
4 small bolts
4 nuts to go on the bolts

Step 1:
Remove the Bi-pod and cut your shell to look like this,

Note: the hole on the bottom of the shell needs to be 1 1/4 " wide

Next cut the bolt sled shorter so it should look like this,You also have to shave the part where the priming handle goes through that area should be flat. Also those two little black wheels need two be taken out of the bolt sled

Now set the bolt sled aside and lets start prepping the shell.

Note: You need to remove all 3 of the little "walls"


Next, put your bolt sled in like so. It should be able to slide back and forth pretty easily.

Next slide the bolt sled all the way back and take your 2" PVC and cut it to 4" long

Drill two holes in the bolt sled like so,

Next place the PVC like shown in the picture.

Those are my knees by the way however different they might look they are knees.

Mark the PVC with a sharpie like shown,

Next drill out the two holes in the PVC you just marked

Assemble the bolt sled and PVC like shown

http://s508.photobuc...nt=IMG_4866.jpg[/img]

Place in your gun and reassemble the gun. It should look something like so,

And slide easily

You take the pictures in your photobucket account and copy paste the IMG tag underneath it here, not sure what you tried.

[thedom21]

I will change that later I am to tired to do it right now. Are the pictures working though?

Ok something tells me this is going to sound really stupid on my part, but does this thing even fire?!

[thedom21]

Yes it shoots 100' flat but at that point I didn't have any other internals in it. I brass breached it and improved its seal. ROF is very good actually.

Ok I was really confused for a minute there, thanks for clearing that up. Also may I say very nice work, very nice.

[thedom21]

Why thank you. The internals were not in the gun because the epoxy for my brass breach was drying. It doesn't work now though because I snapped a piece in the plunger tube but am getting one from Modsquad As soon as he responds to my PM's!

I really like this mod, I just have one question: doesn't the slide get in the way of the dart tooth?

Good thing he doesn't have one!

[moosa]

Okay, you've got your image URLs, and right after each of them you've got "[/img]"
What you need is to do this:

[img]-IMAGE URL HERE-[/img]

Then your images will work.

I don't need the dart tooth because I did a Brass Breach.
