The stock was built by a very clever guy up north. He is an engineer and made all the metal work which includes scope rail/ airtube clamps and trigger linkage.
Stock was originally made to convert a Marauder rifle into a bullpup for a while, but later adapted slightly to accomodate this AA S510. |

Jawbfrog, I bought it from Paul, so as he says above… 👍🏻
I took her out yesterdaay afternoon for her first pesting mission. Got 2 pigeons and about 7 mynas 👍🏻 I’m in need of a good scope for her. There were two auctions on trwdeme that I had been watching which closed yesterday afternoon, but I was so busy having fun I completely forgot to put in my last minute bids… Was so cross with my self 😡😡😡

So I’ve named my little S510. I’ve called her Elly.
I needed to get some super high rings which have taken a while to get, but eventually I got them. I’ve just fitted a 6-24x50 FFP scope, on the super high QD rings, might be a bit of an overkill, but it’s a nice scope and I’m happy with it. Now all I need is somewhere to go shoot where I can zero the scope. It sucks living in the middle of town and not being able to shoot in my back yard.

Managed to zero the scope today after work.

I wouldn't expect anything less. That gun used to make me giggle at some shots it produced. It'll be interesting to see your groups at longer distances when you get a chance.

Took Elly out for her first bit of rabbit control tonight.
Was a cold night, but not raining, so I went for a walk around a new permission. With a thermal scope on Elly I set off with my shooting sticks, head light, double layers of tracksuit pants and Stoney ridge fleeces and a spare little mag in my back pocket. I should have put the whole tin of JSB exacts into my back pocket because I ran out of ammo half way round my lap of the paddocks 😡. I could easily have taken twice as many rabbits if I had more pellets with me. I lost count somewhere around 10, but I think the final number of bunnies left sleeping in the darkness was around 14. Not bad for just over an hours work/walk. Definatly need to plan a few more visits back to this new permission. |
