What work did you just do?

Looks great Flex, I like it.
What is the carbon fiber looking piece between the breech and barrel band?

What is the carbon fiber looking piece between the breech and barrel band?

I figured someone would ask sooner of later. It's a piece of (I believe) reinforced rubber fuel line split lengthwise. Originally, it's purpose was to add thickness to the barrel so that a spring loaded bipod that I have could get a better grip on the barrel. The pic shows it in the "storage position", when in use, it fits just in front of the barrel support. I have read however, that anytime that a bipod is attached directly to the barrel, the point of  impact can move considerably. To be honest, I've not shot it with the bipod for that reason. I'm thinking of attaching a "stud" to the piercing knob to allow for attaching the bipod without affecting pellet POI.
For now, the piece of tubing just sits there "lookin" cool" (and doin' nuthin').

First class all the way, Richard. Quite jealous at how inexpensively you are able to have work like that done.
You are pretty much the 'king of the blues' while Droid wears the crown as the 'king of the brass'.

This fella called Vernon posts a few grips nearly every week. Tom took one for the team and they turned out to be quite good. He recently sold two sets of Claro walnut grips that had very nice figure.

scope finally arrived from the UK so its mounted and the case has gotten adjusted for the gun with scope and a few accesories
my spideysenses are detecting different scope mounts in the future as the normal rings are just barely allowing me to mount the scope in a position where i can actually use it.
*insert random long and black stereotypical joke here*

now for a new stock and regulator+various internal mods next

Nice looking set you have there.  Can you see into the next town with that scope?  I like it.

That is a big piece of glass on that marauder Jauvesst.
