    Jw15 is pretty damn close to the model 2, I have both and the mags and bolts are interchangeable,

    @Tooks is his handle on here. Does great work, I’ve got plenty of his magazine extensions/couplers for the 10/22 but this set up is sweet

    Years ago I saw photos of a kiwi designed collapsible stock for the JW15 that conceals the trigger when collapsed allowing it to be under 762mm as the rifle is inoperable. I wanted one back then but didn't have the cash, or a spare JW but recently had both on hand so I got hold of the designer and asked him to print one off for me. It arrived a few days ago so I took one of my spare JW shorty's out of its stock and dropped it in, measured when extended it is bang on 762 so I might have to add a thin rubber buttpad so there are no awkward moments if the police ruler is slightly under measuring compared to my one. When collapsed and the suppressor is removed it is just shy of 500mm so fits inside a back pack pretty easy. The stock collapses by pulling out a pin, then the action and trigger all slide back inside the stock and the pin is replaced to hold it all in place.

    To finish it all off I built up another carbon fiber suppressor today to fit over the barrel perfectly, but I will post more about that another time.

    Hi @Mintie really interested in this set up, how 'tight' is the chassis to the receiver and barrel when the pin is in place for firing

    is there any movement or rattle?

    he does custom work. all you have to do is ask and he'll print up anything you want.

    It took a couple msgs before he replied to me.
