OSSR-2

The new acronym that "OSSR" stands for is "Old Skool Slingshot Rifle".

Some background for the gun: Users had plenty of complaints and mods for the original OSSR, and I was having problems of my own, so I decided to remake this with the design changed up and filled up.  The mods resulted in almost every flaw in the original OSSR being eliminated.  It was so good that I decided to post it.

Anyways, if you have a problem or a mod to add, post it in the comments.  Photos and videos of problems and mods are appreciated a lot.  Thank you.

EDIT- Video:



This sniper rifle placed 3rd in megametal8's sniper contest.  That may not sound like much, but seeing as first and second place were replicas and mine was the only winner that was just made for pure performance, well I'll leave you to judge it at that.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, get out an MP3 player and save the song below to it.  Go turn the "Repeat 1" option on, and listen to this while you work.  It helps a lot while you work.

This stock may be harder and more time consuming to build due to the fact that it is filled up and thus sturdier.

1. Overview
2. View of the top from the hole where your thumb goes through (that's what she said)
3. View of the back without the part.
4. View of the top
5. View of the bottom
6. Make this special part and gather the red connectors.  Credit to Bakenbitz for it.
7. Place it here.

Now set it aside for later.
