Old mate, Clunk, showed me an awesome mod which pretty much answered all my prayers! It was a mod which had replaced the grip of the PAS, the trigger and the stock. Excellent!
So, I present the Tactical PAS! (:
Close up of the join:
And the inside:
The triggers are both in in the last picture, which is obviously not how it's set up.
I also took a quick video of the trigger set up and how it works, which is nice and simple and extremely effective, but I can't email videos off my phone, lol. I'll take a few more pictures tonight and update this, I was in a rush earlier.
I didn't follow anything, just saw one on a video and made my own version. Not a particularly hard thing to recreate. It is very much a work in progress, as it still needs a lot of cosmetic work and a paint job.
I have four screws in the back, holding the two shells together. Would have liked to get another two screws into it, on the underside, but it wasn't practical. I feel epoxy putty will help with the structural support there.
I hope you all like it, I love it! It makes the PAS about a hundred times better for me, so much more comfortable, the stock is actually long enough and very comfortable, as it's a Raider stock. The trigger pull feels quite nice, better than the stock trigger.
The trigger set up is very simple and was really easy to do, just took a little thinking. I've come up with a great way where you need no glue, no machining of new pieces, nothing. Just a little cutting, drilling, etc. (:
Questions? Go for it!
Update!
With custom RSCB:
End cap of RSCB, which I love:
Trigger assembly, rest:
Trigger assembly, compressed:
The trigger assembly is the biggest part of why I'm updating this, I was asked about it, so I took a couple more photos. It's extremely simple. All I did was cut the PAS trigger to fit, which is a lot of test fitting, I had to sand down the front of the square part of the Raider trigger, so they would fit together and rest properly. Once I had it all sitting in the shell nicely, I simply marked out, then drilled two small holes. One in the Raider trigger, one in the PAS. Then I tied them together! That's how simple it was. (:
I knew I had to find a way of allowing the PAS trigger to still pivot, otherwise the whole system would fail. Coop772's version was way too complex, with ghetto spring rests made out of hot glue, custom machined pieces, rah rah rah, too much messing about. This works 100% perfect! I did have a little bit of slack in the string tying them together, but my simply solution to that problem was to use hot glue. I only used a little bit, just put it around where the string went through each hole. Make sure to glue the knot in the string, otherwise it may come undone. Just a dab on the knot will keep it strong. (:
Cheers,
Cody
