Title: Paratrooper Blasphemy
Post by: echo1 on December 05, 2021, 12:38:49 AM
I've had this Paratrooper for some time. In fact it was my first Para, and it came in some fugly painted furniture. All the short lug stocks I came across went to other more needy projects. I decided I give a TAPCO T6 with a twist a go. OD & black, grip mod, black Navel sling.  Still a spiffy little rig, and nothing permanent. It is a commercial abomination anyway. PAX

Couple crappy picts of the completed transformation. Numbers matching, I suspect the painted furniture was too. PAX

That looks very nice actually. I like the OD and the black (parka). I just bought a Para (K-sports, no Bayo, Comp stock). The Stock is painted camo, LOL. I have an appointment in a few weeks for the transfer. I cant wait to get a better look at it and figure out which color it originally was.

Nice score. I've got a couple K-Sports. This one with a nowhere rail in a K-Sport stock, Butler Creek

And another one in wood. I like their neuter bayo layout the best.

I've since put it some decent wood. PAX

Yeah, looks good  thumb1 Seems appropriate for a para.

P.S. that’s high praise from a purist like me  rofl

Looks good. I like the two tone. Would make a great woods carry rifle
