It looks good but I think the grenade launcher looks a bit too long.

Thinking about it...

To get the buttstock to fit, I replaced the center pin from the end cap with the pin that originally srewed into the stock from the airsoft rifle. I had to saw off part of the new pin, then locked in place by forcing a wide washer over the end of both sides of the end cap. Then I screwed the buttsock in the same way it screwed into that pin when it was in the airsoft rifle. I followed that up with jb weld. This stock has a solid feel and fit to it, but since the stock is hollow, it's loud as hell when I fire this thing next to my face. The plus side of the hollow stock is its a great place to store my squegee. I'll probably replace it with a commando stock when it becomes available. Also, I just installed an RT trigger. I do not recommend the RT for anyone attempting this mod. The 9oz tank just doesnt have enough beef to it to run the bolt, cyclone, and RT effectively. The RT is useless after the first couple of bursts. However, it works just fine when I plug in my 20oz tank. I cant wait for the egrip to become available. More about the front sight; this weekend I realized that installing a front sight would interfere with taking the barrel off to clean it (in the middle of a firefight). I could mount the front sight to the foregrip, and that would work just fine, but...it would take longer to unscrew the barrel to clean it. Good luck to anyone trying to mod their X7 with a custom stock, foregrip, etc. Please share your results if you do. |

Tonton, The grenade launcher doesn't shoot or launch anything. What looks like the grenade launcher's barrel is really just a 9oz tank. The air runs from the tank, through a female palmer stabelizer found at www.specialopspaintball.com which is mounted by elevated scope rings. The palmer stabelizer is connected to the stock hose which runs through the top of the magwell, the magazine itself, then into the gun. Heavy is not in my vocabulary. But the weight is quite reasonable. It just feels right. |

The "air through thing" you're referring to doesn't exist on this marker. No air runs through my stock, it comes directly from the 9oz tank in the mock launcher. |
