Are we to assume you have this at the end of your AA FTP900 ? If so, please also look at the System Gemini carrier plate..

Can you tell us or post a clear picture of the butt end of the AA FTP 900 with butt hook removed ?

...upon further research...my gut feeling is you need to hand your FTP900 to a stock maker to fix the System Gemini to rear stock...as pic below..

Justin has rightfully slung the weak link doing away with the whole backend just retaining the butt length clamping arrangement.
Its just a new round bar attached to a thin plate and genuine Gemini attached to that.

Wood stock above useless way of doing it, no butt length adjuster where 1/16" in length can make it from missing 5 to nil alone.
Looks is one thing, operation totally another ball game 99% ignore.
If a jobs worth doing, do it right or not at all.

I dropped Robert (Knibbs) at rifle-maker.com and asked him how folk mount the System Gemini Aktiv to an FTP as I thought he must have been asked before, however amazingly he never had. He was massively helpful and after some photos back and forth, he offered to try and modify the post that the FTP uses for the original Air Arms hook. When I ordered my hook from him, I sent him an original air arms post, however, after he saw it in real life, he said the "ball ending" did not leave enough material to work with, so he made me a complete new post to which the hook attaches via two bolts. The mounting to the FTP900 is exactly as per original air arms methodology

I honestly don't know :? Robert offered to modify the original part as part of the hook purchase, when he found he could not, he never changed the price and said he would simply make one from scratch..as i said a true gent to work with.

I do hope he ends up making the part available for others as its such a neat solution
