So i've been work on my custom pro and wanted to know what you's think. Suggestions and constructive criticism welcomed Mods: ACT 16" quiet barrel? lol Works amazing though Rocket cock BT rail sight Remote Collapsible stock (took forever to get it to fit) Front grip that i made NOW i was wondering if anyone else that has a custom pro has any difficulty getting things to fit properly on it? I had to like custom shave the plug on the stock to get it to fit. And even with the rocket cock is only held in by one screw things b/c if both are in it doesnt work properly. Also Upgrades? I'm just getting into this upgrading stuff so any help you can give me is appreciated.  Pistol: Warsensor Zeus G-1 mods: Empire grips with some femle on it haha O and the string on the bolt is how i cock it lol The plastic thing broke on it so i had to improvise

Hey man. Start off with a disclaimer, all of my experience is with an Alpha Black and an A5...that being said.. Your AR-style carry handle (the rail sight you were talking about) is on backwards. The sight is supposed to be near the operator's eyes. Regarding the stock, it is supposed to be EXTREMELY tight. There should be no need to shave anything, but you should have to loosen all receiver screws and force it in. In my experience, once properly installed, with BOTH pins or screws as the case may be, it will only malfunction (I am assuming it doesn't cycle properly?) if the receiver screws are tightened too much. Try loosening the rear ones up slightly. Hope this helps. Feel free to post up any feedback/results or hit me with a PM. Take care. Reference:  -------------

| ya well i have the stock in it already. I think the stock was meant for a 98 custom. Cuz i think the customs with the ACT have a different plug thing in the back. JUST my theory though lol But it wouldnt close when i'd o to tighten it. So i had shave some of the plastic. |

The newer 98 shells are designed to accommodate a raised bit on the top part of the stock that fits into the marker. This little piece prevents the stock from rotating during use (which is really annoying.) If you have an older 98 body, it is probable that you had to remove this piece to get the shells to close.

Makes sense...haven't seen that. The bit about the receiver screws being too tight should still be correct though. Hopefully that eliminates any failures to cycle.
