Painted it up and added a cheek and shoulder pad. I also made a meter for it. it's just a length of tube with a gauge in one end and ball valve in the other that threads on to my propane tank. I'll probably add a red dot sight eventually as I'm finally getting some nice shots now!

That's looking very smart, a red dot sight will top it off nicely :)
