You laid your hands on one of our MagTube rifle, with MK1 classic stock or MK2 adjustable stock, or the ForceTube rifle, with haptic recoil stock.

For both, you will use the same following steps to build your gunstock. The images represent an MK1 classic stock, but this is the same for an MK2 asdjustable stock or ForceTube haptic stock.

For video setup, you can check our YouTube Playlists.

Make sure you work in a clear area and be very careful, some parts can easily be lost.

STEP 1: GUNSTOCK

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You will need: bag n°1, the smaller tube and rifle stock.

1.a – Put the wedge on the ring and put them both on the smallest tube.
This step is not needed if you have a ForceTube.		 1.b – Put the two connections with internal notches on each part of the small tube and screw them with the Hex key. 1.c – Apply some oil all around the notches on the connection which is the nearest from the ring.

1.d – Put one O’ring on the 20mm screw, slot them both into the hole provided in the stock. 1.e – Then slide the notched washer (the notches have to be facing the same way) and the previously oiled connection over the screw. 1.f – Attach the screw securing the stock and the connection with one O’ring and the nut.

1.g – Screw all the pieces together, taking care not to over tighten. You must be still able to rotate the stock by force.

.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

In the next steps, you will need the magnetic supports.

They are usually magnetically attached to the cups.

The magnets are quite strong when trying to detach them with hands, but do not be afraid of breaking them, they are made to resist this step.

You just need a little force to separate them.
