Had a hard time finding what I needed so I decided to just make my own band to fit the set-up the rifle came with. Took a few attempts but got it to work and after several range days it held up well and I haven’t had any issues with it. Was very surprised by how accurate the rifle was given I had ne...

Sadly I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find a close replacement or any of the parts suggested. I’ll get some measurements tonight post it to see if the uncle mikes band works. If not If you’re able to make a part that would work I can get some measurements tonight and send them over to you, it would...

Thanks! I’ll attach some more photos, could only do 5 and forgot to add more. My bad. Serial number: 444994 IMG_4783.jpeg I don’t have the best pictures of the rear sight but I’ll try to get better ones when I’m by the rifle. I’ll do the same for the band on the barrel.
