Wooden stock for the Bullshark.

A little update.
While I keep waiting on the recoil pad to be delivered, I started messing around with some 1/4x20 knurled nuts I found on Amazon.

It feels a little smoother when cycling now since the pull is no longer off center. 😁

If you haven't drilled the attachment holes you might want to get a couple extras, cut the head off then grind the cut end to a sharp point. Then thread them into the action and drop it into the stock. That will tell you where to drill.

If by this you mean for the bolts that fasten the stock, I used the factory hardware and I already did it.

Does anyone know if this hole needs to be exposed? It goes all the way thru the action. The factory stock does not cover it, but my stock does. ThanksView attachment 526170View attachment 526171

That is probably a breather vent for your hammer. The dumb hammers we deal with in airgun land can act like a piston in the cylinder of a combustion engine. So we need a way to bleed off the air they gather up when the trigger is squeezed. Just radius the stock in that area to expose that hole. I’m just watching this topic because I love when someone builds a nice stock to replace the abomination a lot of guns are sold with.

I got my order of the knurled nuts this afternoon. They are slightly larger in diameter than the stock piece plus the knurling improves grip. I may still drill out the cocking lever and do what you did but for today I decided to drill out a nut so it would fit over the stock stud. I drilled it 1/64 inch less than 1/4 and it is a good fit. Kind of ruins that nut, most of the threads are gone, but they are not expensive.

I tried it with two nuts and a 1.75 inch long piece on 1/4 NC all thread this morning. I like the two nut (like you did) better so I ordered more nuts to do my other P35s. I did not drill the cocking lever to 1/4 inch however. I drilled it to 13/64 and then tapped the hole 1/4 NC. It leaves a little more material in the lever and seems to leave enough of a lip that I could go backward. I had the tap so it just took a bit longer. The other two pieces of all thread are cut and blued.

I like that idea better. I didn’t think to tap it.
