First 98 Milling project

Ok, here are updated pics with the new stock. I'm 6'1" with 36" arm length, so will need to lengthen it a good 3-4". As the tubes are 1/2 OD, I will most likely use PVC and cover with aluminum pipe for strength. The tubes on the stock actually slide in and use set screws, so I can replace them. I may have to add a longer barrel to offset the balance of look and feel. As it is, it is actually pretty balanced feeling. 
For the FPS issue, I meant to say I had the FVA nearly all the way out. I should be able to just screw in a little to get the FPS down. I am interested in the spring cut though and may try it. I wonder if it would help with accuracy vs using the FVA? 
I am going to use black hockey tape to get the stock more stable. And yes, I am going to paint over the Rap4 logo. 
Just for the record these are the mods:
1. Front gills milled and opened. 
2. Front grip mounting milled off
3. Filled FVA hole 
4. Centerfed. Used 1" aluminum stock to fit over milled down top rail. Both narrowed and shortened. Partially filled stock feed hole. 
5. Stock feed neck mounting points milled off.  
6. Ariakon 2.0 ACP mag and rails
7. 12" J&J ceramic barrel
8. Custom made front stock. Wood/PVC
9. Rap4 wire stock w/ RVA
Totally, 100% stock internals. 
Thanks for all the positive feedback.

	I've thought about that actually. First idea was to route the air line through the grip basically replacing the lower portion of the trigger frame similiar to the pro lites. Or is it SL68's? Problem I run into is I think I would need at least 2 12g's to be viable and it would stick out of the bottom of the grip/handle. According to specs, one 12g would only be capable of 15-20 shots and make it a very short game unless really easy to reload. With 2 12g's, I could at least unload 30 shots or so. Still a pretty short game, but honestly, this is more for show than go. I am thinking about removing the front stock and putting a 2 12g adapter on and making a new front stock to cover it, more like a shotgun pump look than what I have now. Alternatively, I have looked at the 3oz disposable CO2 canisters at Wally World and wondered about those. Easier to install and mount. Gears are turning. I really do want the tank off of the grip, just figuring out how to do it and how much I really want to spend doing it. So now I'll rile up the natives. Any suggestions on a name? I was thinking Tippariokon or Frankensniper. LOL. yeah, I know.... Edited by oldpbnoob - 17 June 2008 at 12:10am
