Well, I just started playing with this fine little rifle. Love it! You could tow a house with the trigger but oh well. I might work on that in time but it's really no that big of a deal. Especially for what I plan this gun to be: A great little all around field gun.
I weaved 20ft of parachute (550) cord onto the stock. I did this for a couple reasons: 1) It added a little weight to the butt, 2) I like the idea of having some cord right there with the gun, and 3) Because I didn't have enough to make the survival sling I want so this was the interim alternative. The weave is broke up in to ten foot sections but is one continuous piece. Untie a couple knots and whip off ten feet, untie a couple more and have the full twenty.
The sling is an old PRC radio pouch sling I laying around and it will do for now. Easy to clip on and off.
The sights are Tech-SIGHT TSM-200's and I also bought the adjustment wrench found on their accesories page. Nice little setup and far superior to the stock sights.

I picked up one extra mag and need to grab a couple more.
I haven't shot the gun with the new sights yet but it shot well in stock configuration so I'm excited to test these out.
Not the greatest pics but I'll toss 'em up anyway as even not so good gun porn is still good gun porn. ;D
. In other words when you replace your rear sight tap it in from the right side (ejection port side).
