Favorite PCP Personalizations (Pics)?

What are some of your favorite/clever/unique PCP airgun personalizations? How do you make your guns your own? These can be for improving form and/or function, and they can be anything from "homemade" improvisations to aftermarket accessories. Note, this is not meant to be a laundry list of your scope, bipod, moderator, etc. (That includes you, kitchen-sink-Impact guy, try to contain yourself 😉).



I'll start. My TAIPAN Veteran Long .22 is my first and only PCP. I have found 2 personalizations that I am enjoying so far.

1) Dope card for stock: Of course, trying to hit a target cold-bore at extended ranges requires some form of notes/software on pellet trajectory at various distances is necessary. I find the most convenient option is a simple dope card that I tape to my inside of my stock. Makes for an easy quick-glance reference that is easy to change. I will attach the Word doc that contains my template if anyone is interested.

2) Leather cord wrap: I have always liked how people use leather wrap on slings and lever-action levers so I wanted to incorporate this on my bullpup. The thin bottom section of the stock makes for a nice spot to "spruce up". Doesn't help my groups but it makes my gun stand out a bit.

Who said Taipan Veterans were ugly?

Favorite personalizations are accessories that do what they're supposed to. But getting a bit more specific I've started doing custom dope cards and I've liked them thus far. Also a fan of custom wraps (especially when they help with more than just looks). Oh, and a well-placed sticker can look nice too. I think Stoti's got me beat on those though lol.

I planned to make this stock for a bit now. The stock stock (redundancy ahhhh) is atrocious, so I made this one out of walnut and hand sanded it. It affords it a real carbine feel and adds a little aesthetic AK feel. I am now working on v4 of this stock so that it is easily removable for back packing 
 
I like adding a personal touch to my guns to make them mine. Not everything is major but it's something.

Modified and painted a Streamline stock. I like the grip area much better than stock.

Swapped out the stock cocking lever for an Impact lever. Much nicer to operate now.

Converted a couple QB78s from Co2 to air and made one into a repeater. Both with homemade walnut stocks.
