Could any of you chaps tell me the length of pull with the stock fully closed?
I'm considering traveling to see one to have a feel but could do with knowing that before I go.
Oh the woes of being a short arse

As it has an AR buffer tube type arrangement for the stock i'm sure that even if the standard one is too long, i'm sure you'd be able to get something to fit

After having a go on gasman's a few weeks ago i picked mine up yesterday. Had a quick go today, only 20 rounds of .28 but liked the way it felt. I did get one jam when it failed to completely eject a spent cartridge. Sights seem to be in line as hit what i was aiming at. what i do need though is some type of extended mag release as i can only operate it with my hand on the mag (small hands).

the eley Olympic blue isn't a very powerful cartridge, my M2 doesn't like them, when i tried a few, got a few stovepipes. the RS and my M2 loves Rio target load and the oddly named french Jokker plaswad 28 grm 7.5 , which seem to be selling for reasonable price at moment (£180 per thousand)
it also runs great on SAGA eurotrap 7.5 28grm, these are definitely a powerful shell, around £190 a thousand, clean burning as well means less gas port and piston fouling, especially in plaswad.
it might take the Eley once "run in", be interesting to see, but i,d use punchy cartridges for the 1st 500 at least.
