Well after seeing all of the other posts about people putting their rifles into the AICS stocks, I figured what the hell I have a nice stock sitting in my basement. Yes the stock is from a TANAKA AICS airsoft rifle that was left over from a previous project that I long since sold.
I have been reading through and seeing everyone using either a Savage or something of the like, and thought there would be no way I would be able to fit an Izhmash CM-2 into that stock. Well after a little work, and I do mean very little work, I was able to bolt her up and get some pics taken.
All that was needed was to cut some of the lips off of the top of the rifle and ensure that everything is nice and flat. Being as the base of the CM-2 action is flat it was a simple process to make it sit correctly. The one thing that I have yet to do is make a slug for the mag well, so I can attach the front mounting bolt. I am going to have this water cut out of a block of material and welded into the stock to ensure it is strong enough.
The rifle right now has on a DIP 20 MOA base, as well as a MOCK muzzle break. I say mock as it is behing held on by blue painters tape so I can see what the rifle will look like with something at the end of the barrel. In a few months she will be wearing a nice sparrow suppressor at the end as well. As for the scope it is a plane scope that I had laying around, and am currently looking at replacing it with something else.
I am thinking about trying to make a larger bolt knob for her as well, and of course a few more things to make this waiting time go by faster.....
I am not sure if I want to go with a fixed 10x scope for the .22lr or something with a variable power. But have been looking over on the wonder optics web site, and was looking at one of those scopes for the rifle. Not looking for anything that will break the bank, but something that will be usefull.
