1. I have an AR-7. It's cool in that the whole thing stores in the stock. Other than that, it's a 30 yd. gun at best. Anyhow I was looking for a stock for it. The factory one, while cool in that it floats the entire rifle, is very wide. I don't carry it around anymore on outdoor adventures so it's sort of useless for now. Maybe I'll get my kid into the shooting sports some day with it. Anyhow, I'd like to find something in a thinner, more traditional profile, while retaining the sporter-stock fit and lines. Is there anything like this out there? My searches have produced folding stocks of wire, Sten-type stocks, and things of the like.
2. I was reading this "moly fusion" thread. I have a bottle of moly "oil" (I'm into high performance air guns too). It says on the bottle it's a dry film lubricant, made by RWS. Supposedly you clean the metal, apply this lubricant, it dries, and then you have a moly coating on the surface. It's used for moving parts in the air rifle (in most areas except the spring---you can use it in the compression chamber, which gets to 2000* when firing, IF you allow the stuff to dry fully, as the carrier vehicle is petro based and will detonate, which is BAD in a spring piston gun). Might be something to try in place of the paste? It costs about $5 for a 6 oz. bottle.
