Has anyone come up with any creative ways to reduce the noise of the plastc stock 1000 model gun? Does filling the air space in the stock help much? If so, how well did it work? What did you use to fill? What is the best way (acess) to fill the cavity?

Thanks for your help.

Paul

I pulled off the rubber buttpad about halfway from bottom up and there is like a plastic step in the middle. I drilled a hole there about as big as the steped up part sit gun on muzzle and filled it with two part epoxy. And then i used rubber wheather strip glue to glue butt pad back down and added a beeman aluminum muzzle brake. and the gun is alot better feeling to me and balances in my forward hand perfect. It took out alot of that hollow bonk drum like sound.

I think Russ used expanding foam so his would stay a little lighter but not hollow sounding. or you could use hot glue but that would take a while and alot of glue stick's.

Me & my uncle john elder thought about using a heat gun to expand/soften the remove front site alittle. He just bought a Barksa scope the ring are shorter than power line scope's rings site was in the scope to much. When I had the gun it seemed as accurate as my RWS 36 but I didn't like the hollow sound and never got arround to filling stock and rescoping it. I though of filling it with foam too. I was going to insert the foam in the whole I bored for the strap hardare.

I like your idea of filling the stock with 2 part epoxy. Could you tell me the type or brand of the epoxy you used?

There are so many, and I have only one stock to experiment with.

Thanks,
Perry
