Custom Cricket forearm/stock build…
This is a thread on a custom forearm/rail and stock for the Cricket. I am looking for someone (WalkonKing, Tony, or other) to consider building a free floating hand guard for the Cricket’s air tube, which would be similar to a Evanix Bullpup (but around the front half of the AIR TUBE only, not the barrel or shroud). The MOE stock would be removed, and ideally a Wokguard style adapter/grip could be tied into the floating air tube hand rail for this gun (would love the ability to add a hogue AR15 grip to a Cricket!). As for the remaining stock, or whats left of it, this would get built out by a custom stock maker.
Here are a few photos to help visualize the floating Cricket hand-guard and Wokguard, in conjunction with the traditional stock concept. Just mash a few of these concepts together, and you’ll get the idea:
Steyr has done an excellent job in incorporating the best of modern and traditional, combining a wood stock with metal forearm on this rifle, and is the best example of what I would be interested in (minus the cheek piece). Throw a Wokguard on here instead of the wood stock grip and BOOM:
The tactical looks of the Evanix forearm is nice too, good concept, but I prefer the sleeker Steyr hand guard.
What can I say, I bought a PWS MK1 last year, and really like the new AR15 keymod rail which was open sourced by Noveske, and this floating style rail got me thinking about something similar for a Cricket. Is it me, or is the Cricket stock ugly and lacks functionality and adaptability? Walkonking, Tony? You guys into a new product?

Hey if you built a key-mod lightweight stock for the cricket I’m in. I agree the stock is not very ergonomic. Having an accessory rail would be handy. I would not buy anything that looked like the Evanix however :butkick:
