That is nice, but does any company in the Western hemisphere (preferably in the USA) stock this scope mount?

It's a .22, Rambo.

No one said they were kicking in doors and picking off terrorists with it. It's a range toy, whose main appeal is cheap plinking and cool looks.

Have you found a place that had a low profile claw mount in stock?

The stock is very solid when extended, and the arms, latch/mechanism, and the front 2/3 of the end cap are all metal. The part where the buttstock screw inserts is metal, compared to the OEM stock, which is hollow plastic. It fit tightly on the receiver with just a little light tapping to get on all the way. It fits a lot tighter than the factory stock, which has a small amount of side-to-side play.

I guess if you yank the stock really hard, you could pull the retractable arms/buttpad off, but it has a stop on the last position to prevent that. Try here Adco Firearms LLC for a low profile claw monut. I think they have one for $22.00. Good people to deal with, too.

Looks great.

I ordered the same retractable stock as yours from airsoftextreme.com. It sounds like it is a definite upgrade from the light plastic wobbly rear stock that comes with the gun. Looks cool too.

I also ordered a low profile MP5 claw mount for optics from gamepod.com that looks like a high quality G&G item. Once I find a good optic, this is probabbly as far as I will go with the modifications, because this is a sweet little rifle as stock.

The main accessory that you want are spare magazines. I now have two spare 22 rd mags (labeled 22 rd mags actually hold 24 rds) in addition to the single 22 rd mag that comes with the gun. I have some other mags on back order including 10 rd mags that I am hoping are shorter for prone/bench shooting. If the 10 rd mags are full length, I may modify them to be shorter.
