That makes sense. So I guess you kind of have to rest your thumb on the side or cup the grip in a strange manner then.

Regardless of that little fudge up, it looks like it pieces together to be a solid gun.

Yeah you have to rest it on the side, its not optimal but it works. I have friend who is giving me some walnut so I may carve another and include a thumbhole.

I would do just that. Walnut is a nice wood. Sand it nice and high to about 600 and then use a low build clear finish on it like tung oil or wipe on polyurethane. It'll get nice and dark for you.

Just fill it up again with some wood , glue it in place and stick to the original plan.
It all looks awsome!

Here is another picture of the gun, it is nearing completion but, It still needs a suppressor and electronics work.

Before you say anything, I know that the 3-way valve and trigger were not on it in this picture.

Fantastic. Simply fantastic. Of course knowing that you're going to put a better stock on helps my assessment :D

EDIT: Once you have the other stock fitted and working, you should cut this one to be a pistol grip and treat it as though it were a tactical shotgun. With the option for switching them out, this would be worth it perhaps.

yeah the electronics and battery are in the stock. plus the second stock will not be carved for some time. Also do you guys think I should add a wooden handguard on the air chamber?

Well it was an ignorant thought I had then. :)

I don't think you need a wooden hand guard. That chamber looks great. Whats not so great is the emptiness between the chamber and the barrel. I would put a piece of wood in there. It would balance out the aesthetic of the gun.

but as POLAND pointed out, your toe is! Forgiven though, it's looking great.

I'm curious about the action, can we get a diagram?

maybe it would be a good idea to build a rectangular silencer/shroud for it ? you know one that would hide the barrel and the chamber ?

you could hide all the internals there

Am I the only person who has noticed it looks very WA2000-ish?

That was my first thought when I saw the stock picture, I thought I would be clever and point it out at the time but then I noticed:
