I'f you can give me a price quote on how much it would cost, I could send you the actual longshot stock. I would just like it to be a semi thumbhole stock ( you would have to make an extension on the bottom that curves back to the grip) and I would like an extra inch of length from what the factory stock has.

LMK what you think


I'd be keen, but on second thoughts the problem is that the longshot's stock is full of mechanism; once I'd hollowed the stock out enough for it to fit there'd be no strength left in it. :angry:

any interest in making one for my longshot?


By all means... post a sketch of what you're looking for and I'll try to estimate how long it would take. Also if you've any measurements of the part that would interface with the LS itself, that would be ideal.

As for the Tippy, it's a shell I acquired for a project that didn't come off. I've never had this one in working order - though I have all the parts. I've used them as site guns and have no complaints; mind you, I've never used anything better. If you're starting out in paintball then they're that cheap now I doubt you can go far wrong.

Am I right in thinking that the .50 Beowulf is one of the largest that will fit in a (modified) M16 magazine?

[edit] no, it looks like there is sufficient width for larger calibre rounds without too much difficulty.

If there's sufficient demand then producing NTS mags would be a simpler proposition than these mag wells were, and I'd be happy to take it on. At the moment I'm trying to produce patterns for a racing gearbox casing (may have bitten off more than I can chew there, time will tell) but I'll keep the NTS in mind.

Any other parts that the community needs, I'd be interested to hear.

I'd say that the SCAR-N edges out, nay demolishes, the longshot on coolness and uniqueness. But that's just my own opinion.

On the other hand, it's available, whereas the SCAR is a complex beast to attempt. Keep in mind that these mag wells permit construction of any homemade design you can come up with that uses an M16 compatible magazine though.
