Vanquish .177
Stock stripped and oiled, slightly reprofiled the forend and replaced the accessory rail for a longer Anshutz rail.
Home brew Carbon back vented shroud over the standard 19" barrel it just screws on and off like a standard silencer. Very quiet.
Replaced the skinny air tube for a full length FX tube with Quickfill and qauge.
Replaced the existing reg for one in the tube, this allows the tube to fit tight up to the action reducing the length a little. Though I may fit an HW tube done it to test on my RAW and it's great though thats not finished yet.

Now that is a stunner and I bet you are well happy with all the work you have done.
I like a darker oil to my stocks rather than light but im in the market this year for a custom black pepper stock for a project this year.

Yes I'm very pleased with it thanks and it's actually darker than the photo depicts,
Needs some more oil though.

That looks great mate! Like that you have used the FX tube - that will give you more capacity and fill the stock channel better 👍😎
