·Howdy - I did a lot of reading on the old forum site before building my 995. I thought I'd post a couple pics.
Specs:
1. Standard, black 995 - Traded for it
2. ATI stock (HERE) - $50
3. Reworked butt sleeve to hold two magazines (HERE) - $6
4. Bought a 12" piece of picatinny rail from eBay and cut \ drilled it to fit the receiver cover - $15
5. Filed down a spot on the rail and drilled and tapped two holes to mount a Williams peep sight (HERE) - $35
6. Fixed the two-piece front sight so I could lower it enough to use the peep sight - Free
7. Bought an inexpensive 4X AO illuminated scope (HERE) - $35 and some see-through rings (Like those HERE) - $13
8. Bought some sling swivels from Wal-Mart - $8 and a padded sling (Like the one HERE) - $6
9. Two extra mags and a butt pad - $40 and a soft case - $26 (HERE)
Some of the parts I was able to get locally, so I saved on shipping costs.
I think I have about $250 worth of parts (and many hours of labor) in it.
I decided to use both a peep sight and a scope to give me both short range (peep) and a longer range (scope) aiming options. Looking through the peep, I can see the front sight ring, so it is kind of like a peep-in-a-peep set up.
The scope is AO so I can use it for 10 to 100 yards (though I've only shot it at a 25 yard indoor range so far). It is an illuminated cross hair scope with both red and green options and the illumination knob has a rheostat so it is variable brightness. It is also a mil-dot scope, so I hope to practice using that for distance adjustments.
A big thanks to whomever maintains this forum. It's been a good source of info.
