Thompson Wood Stock Fitting

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

Hi guys, picked up a Cyma Thompson a while ago and thought it would be a nice little time waster to fit a genuine set of wood to it. I've sourced the front grip which should fit fine (gun is currently away being serviced) and the stock arrived today.

Has anyone fitted a set to a Cyma model before? How did it go?

Also, this screw on the side of the stock, is it actually a pin/screw going through, or just a stamped bit of metal? I've tried turning the screw to no avail and I'd rather not mangle it.

If it is a pin it will cause a problem when drilling through the centre for the wiring to go in.

Probably better off asking on the WW2 (formerly, CiA) forum.

I fit a real steel stock to a Thompson a few years ago, and I don't recall the screw in the stock being any issue. Biggest pain was safely creating a large enough compartment at the rear to fit a decent sized LIPO and creating the route from the receiver for the wiring.

But it looked awesome when done.

Already started the other day. It is indeed a large pin running through the stock. The problem was on the Cyma the wiring is directly in line with that pin. I've created space around it. Mines an English stock and has a large enough space for an 11.1v stock tube Lipo, so just need to create a hole horizontally to line up for the wiring from the receiver
