Pitbull airtube rail mount?

[Greg_E]

Does anyone know of a rail mount that claims to the air tube on a Pitbull? I have the shroud length tube which requires removing the stock lower rail and I want to put a bipod back on my rifle. I don't really want to spend for a too clamping bipod. I see bottle clamps everywhere, but not seeing anything for the smaller diameter tube that Pitbull (or Benjamin for that matter) use.

Alternative will be to figure out how to glue a rail on the stock, but still be able to split the stock when needed.

Going to try a sling stud adapter and see how well I can make it work.

 

[Greg_E]

Stud adapter is a fail for now, should have looked more closely. Also the stud is larger that the holes in the adapters that I bought, so no fit until I modify one of them.

@Greg_E Good question. I don’t know of any. What do you wish to mount below the reservoir?

 

[Greg_E]

Just want a bipod. I have an idea to use the stud, but it requires machining and still not sure it will work. Eventually I bet I make a new part to replace the stud, or stumble onto a tube mount. Maybe I can use a hose clamp around the airtube, I'll have to check that out in a bit. Ghetto, yes. But might do what I want.

Also need to find a bottle mount for my Kral, but that should be easier.

@Greg_E in that case I propose a somewhat simple solution: take a look at some over-the-bore bipods. They work well in my experience. Have one on a Bulldog with an extended reservoir. If I can dig up a photo, I’ll edit this reply and post it.

Ad a low profile mlock rail to the stock with t nuts just behind the front post mount. We do this on the Taurus so folks can use a lower mount bipod.

@bthurman Do you have any photos of the Mlock rail from beneath the gun facing the surface of the rail?

Are you cutting m lock slots in the stock and using m lock nuts to secure it, or regular old fashion blind (or t) nuts to secure it?

I have some cheap m lock rails in my shopping cart that I'll probably buy for this.

 

[Greg_E]

This may be an expensive mistake, but I just bought a Saber Tactical 34mm clamp for this. I also grabbed a 60mm for my Kral Empire X which has no real place to attach other than to the bottle.

And no my airgun will not rotate. Directions for the Huma regulated inside call to leave the tube loose so air can vent the regulator. I didn't like that so I filed a small notch in the end of the exterior tube. So far that has worked fine to vent the regulator and the tube is screwed down tight against the receiver.

Greg E we use rail with t nuts, to secure, . The huma reg kits include a plenum that allows it to exhaust via the rear tank threads. ( as well it utilizes the existing notch in the tank cap at the rear) You need to leave the rear tank oring off as the plenum will seal against the inner diamter with the included oring. There should be no need to file a notch when did yo uget your reg kit?. We have usedd these for clients before and never had to leave a tank loose or file a notch.

I recently bought my kit and the instructions from Huma suggested leaving the tube loose.

I may still cut the m lock ovals in the stock, not sure yet. I need a better rail for my Umarex Hammer too, it has a cheap plastic rail on it and I think I want an aluminum rail.
