Yeah just a bit, however I like the B-30 stock more than mine =] Oh alrighty, you should check with these guys for a B-30 stock:

They should be able to take care of you if Xisico directly cannot.

Have 2 B-21s in .177- I got the VRT/ seal  and it works great.With guides included- no vibration and much less noise- the other is stock and I would highly recommend giving it a lube tune out of the box, as this one had __no lube__ on the spring and a light coat of rust. A little heavy tar and some moly and all better.The trigger is also adjustable and a polish job would help immensly.  :D

Yup, you got that right Mike =] Anyway, I'm starting on a custom stock for the B-21. I shall post up pictures of what I have....in the mean time, I wanted to supply you guys with a B-21 stock template. Might come in handy one of these days  :emoticon:

I sure won't complain about the velocity. It hits hard. One thing I like about this air rifle is that it takes well to bipod use. I put a UTG clamp on tri rail from PA or CTD(forget which) on the barrel of the B30 and put a bipod on that. Mounted it as far back on the barrel as possible. Sure beats shooting that heavy beast offhand. It's like shooting an M1A/M14 offhand.

I do agree with everything you said =] I will put on a tri-rail barrel mount and a UTG picatinny bipod on there soon.....I've off hand shot this rifle quite a bit, and I must say....it drains you out quickly after 5 or so grouping shots; consecutively shooting 3-4 groups e/a time . Especially in this humid type heat *sigh*.....I think I'll stay inside where it's cold and work on my stock  :emoticon:

Alright so I just got some parts from PA and now it's a true night stalker, hehe =] However, I thought that the UTG/Leapers compensator mount would cover the whole dovetail. But I think that's only for the RWS/Diana side levers....thank goodness I got that offset mount instead of a two-piece! Now my scope won't shift anymore! I think I'll stick with one-piece scope mounts from now on :)

Hey, you've got a flashlight where the bipod is supposed to go. ;-)   Is that the UTG tri-rail mount? I'm going to put a light on one side of mine, with a laser on the other, as the bottom already has a bipod attached.
OUCH!!! Is that a crack in the stock?  Nothing 2 or 3 short pieces of brazing rod and some epoxy won't fix.
I don't blame you on the 1-piece mounts. I'll never go back to 2 piece mounts. I got a couple of  1 piece mounts from uniflame industries off E-bay and put one of them on my R9. I couldn't be happier. No more shifting. Now I just have to decide whether to put the other one on my B40 or on my B30. The B30 has the 4 screw 1 piece mount from BAM. I'm thinking about putting it and it's BAM 3-9X40 on the B40 and put the uniflame 5 screw mount and Leapers 3-9X50 on the B30-1.

What he said. IIRC, one of those kits is listed as being full power and the other is a little slower. Mine is the slower one(I think) and I'm getting 765 fps with RWS .22 superdomes. That's with less than 100 rounds through the gun.
No twang. Nice solid thunk when shot.

Yeah, as soon as I get a bipod I'll reattach the flashlight on the side of the mount. And yep that's a UTG Tri-rail alright =] Mmmhmmm, that is a big old crack alright....I'll see what I can do about it, but for now there's just no time! Want to give me some tips? Haha, I guess there are certain exceptions to two piece mounts. That's if you have a sturdy picatinny base....other than that, nope for me. Hehe, well whichever you decide will be good :) I would put the uniflame on the B30 being as that you'd need a darn good mount for the amount recoil it has!

Happy shooting,

Why don't you send it to Mike M. and he can cut down a B22 barrel and  choke and recrown it to make a B21 into a B30 it's the barrel length that is the bigest difference.I have shortented my barrel and it is still a one holer. Howie

Hmmm, you know what? That sounds like a swell idea, however it's the shipping that's going to be a pain. When I shipped my Quest out to Gene via USPS Priority, the total came out to be $34! Holy cow, maybe UPS can be cheaper.....I'll sure talk to Mike about tuning me shooter soon enough :) I might ask him if he has any access to extra B30 stocks as well, and.....holy cow! That's a nice shooter my friend! Makes me jealous, haha

Did it ship with the cracked stock, or did you do that?
