#1 P800x on the way...
I ordered a P800x and hope to have it modded to 12 fpe in the near future. New March 8-80 in silver already here waiting for her. Thanks to this forum and it's contributors for so much information on the P800. Without this place, i would not have moved forward with my latest purchase. The threads here about succesfully modifying the 10m P800 gave hope that it can and WILL be done. "If man made it, man can.."...modify it! Will post pics when she gets here albeit in her 10m form.

you can't have directly the 800FT (12fpe) model with the 24 inch barrel in the USA?

These are UK Made butt plates and are supposedly (UK saying) "The Dog's Bollox" (ie: Top Stuff !) > SYSTEM GEMINI by HPS Target Rifles Ltd.chenglo1 wrote:What kind of butt plates are on some of the molded ones here? Hopefully not all custom too!

As Jon has said, the 10m barrel is (my words) is "bloody brilliant" ; so am assuming no big deal to Power mod. the 10m (7.5J) model to FT power levels in USA by their US custom gunsmith Jon Harris equivalent...Mr. Allen Zasadsny (spelled correct ?)
#6 Re: P800x on the way...
I think Chenglo1 isnt convinced from Jon's feedback here on the forum , about the OEM 20.4J Fwb800 FT model with long steel sleeved barrel.chris91 wrote:you can't have directly the 800FT (12fpe) model with the 24 inch barrel in the USA?

Omg! This has got to be the single most beautiful rifle I have ever laid eyes on. Sorry no pics yet as I just got home from work amd am totally beat! During transit the top of the butt plate broke. Not a huge ordeal as dealer will replace that piece. I just hope she works when I fill her wigh air tomrw. I promise ptrs tomrw evening usa time ofcourse. Now I need ankther pist re pellet choice for this oem 10m barrel and 12 fpe. I am all ears as I need to order asap then have shipped direct to alan zasadny...u were close petee.

Ft model not avail in usa yet. Upon close examination that cradle does have a significant amount of contact with rge barrel. I could see now why jon was so bent on opening her up. Alan will make a custom jig to ream her open; a jib he has done before on other guns bht this is going ti take the cake. For tjose tgat do not know, there is metal frame also contacting the entire bottome of the barrel. So even FT model would need same mod. This gun is going to be the first P800AZ. im keeping fingers crossed that it will be able to compete with my steyr if not beat it!

Told you Cheng, you wont ream it it will torque steer off and scrap the cradle.
First thing upon receipt is take the mod out and see if its safe.

If a jobs worth doing, do it right or not at all.

Jon,
sorry "ream" was just my simple way of saying things because ofcourse i don't have any background in machining. I'm pretty confident that Alan would know how to properly open up the cradle once he examines it. However, Would you care to share the proper method on here or in a PM so i can tell a little birdie to pass it along? I think many machinists or artists would not appreciate how to do their work but If one has ever spoken to Alan, he is definiately easy to talk to and unlikely to take offense. It would be a nightmare to need to order a new stock!!!
