Top rail too high…?

Anyone whose mounted a dedicated Night Vision scope to any gun knows they are a little high – On the Talon’s they are ridiculously high due to the fact that NV Scopes are generally high, and you have the added height of a weaver to Air gun adapter AND the high to begin with Scope mounting rail.

I’ve had a few NV scopes, don’t have one right now but will be getting one shortly if all goes to plan so here’s the start of me modding my Talon to give a better NV scope height.

Stripped gun waiting butchering –

Thin top rail gone –

Removing the front –

Removing the back part –

I got tired of sawing and broke out the reciprocal –

Rough cuts all done – on to the finishing work –

Milling the back –

And the front –

Voila –

Now I just have to drill and top a hole for the cocking handle on the right side of the Breech and then cut a slot for the new breech position….
