The Bayonet was from Soldier of fortune.. £29.99 with scabbard The stock finish ... first sanded off ALL the old finnish and stain grdually working down with finer and finer grades until smooth ... then steam over boiling water to lift the end grain finally sand using 0000 wire wool until super smooth. apply wood stain ... i think i used american walnut .. then sand again with 0000 wire wool , not too hard as you might remove stain i then treated the stock with tru oil ... one coat a night for 5 nights sanding gently using 0000 wire wool between coats. left the last coat to dry for a week so it could harden a bit then gently went over with wire wool to remove some of the shine... finally wax polished to finish True craftsman, I might have a go at this with my new spare. Thanks pal 👍🏻 I've got some spare 'tru oil' if you're needing, I bought some a few years ago for another project and decanted it into smaller bottles. I've still got a few 10ml bottles lying around if you want it buddy, it's a freebie if you're genuinely going to have a go at it. Message me if you're wanting it and I'll get it sent out to you buddy.

Has anyone tried fitting one of the BB followers that block the bolt from going into battery after the last round is fired preventing dry firing? I think they were originally meant for the original King Arms 6mm airsoft version, so I'm guessing the answers I'm looking for actually are- - Are they a straight fit (to a 4.5mm) ?
- Can they be fettled to fit ?
- Do they work or does the BB being ~1.5mm smaller make it too iffy?
If they work as intended I thought they looked a worthwhile mod.

I suspect Dave that the 4.5mm bb channel in the mag will prevent the 6mm from fitting... But it might be easy to slim down...worth a try I suppose.

There can be a painfull world of difference between try and succeed but as a quick 'n dirty job of reducing the follower to 75% length and width but leaving the height and finger grip part unchanged...
That's a 20min print job.

Fingers crossed
