To chop, or not to chop.

[Pupa2794]

I've got a Sun project m40a1. 

It's shooting just over 1 joule. 

It's built like an asahi or a shoe, ie like a cricket bat. 

There's no spares available, I don't play anywhere where there are "sniper" rules, and I've got fallout kit I want to use at a site in a mine. 

I've rebuilt the hop, and I feel it needs to be used. 

Unless someone's got serious objections or is desperate for spares, the work starts tomorrow. 

(Properly, with actual tools and a lathe) 

Unsure whether to go for the full cut down look, or build more of an actual rifle. 

Before picture.

Thats a classic mate, please don't cut it up.  Sell it to a collector, it's value may surprise you, then buy another project gun.

I decided not to chop. I had got it listed in various places for about 150 quid with no interest.
