Midget P-block...?

[DavidBoren]

Why can't I find any pictures of Midget cut bodies with a P-block?

Was this not a popular mod for any particular reason?

It seems like it would be easy enough as far as the necessary milling is concerned... cut 7/8" (or whatever it is) off the back of the body.

Notch the top tube however far you want your P-block to extend.

Build P-block.

Trim and rethread cooking rod.

Trim the bolt and drill a new hole for the pin.

Seriously, I can't be the only person to think of such a thing. People have done so many crazy configurations with Autocockers, it has to have been done at least once.

Found it. Here is the one and apparently only:

That gun hasn't been midget'd. A midget body would have the body trimmed down to the rear frame screw like this



They're not very popular because it removes a lot of your ability to tune the gun due to the shortened length your hammer travels.

RKJ has one he's been showing off:

You are right, the one in my picture just has an elongated frame... like a built-in snatch grip/beavertail.

That RKJ one is nice.

Is there a set amount to cut off for the midget modification?

Could one midget a full-body Autococker to take a normal back block and an "Evo" length bolt?

i think the general idea is flush with the back of a "standard" non-built in beavertail frame

Sorry I know this thread is old but I’m wondering the same thing

would be possible as the back block isnt really a limiting factor. but the pblock lets you get shorter/tighter which is the whole point. evo bolt would still need modified
