Duke, thanks for the reply my friend. I will try the plastisol on my Dankung American Fox.

As an example to improve the grip I wrapped my Dankung with black soft leather.

In hind-sight, I would have been more careful with the black rubber tube that was installed for the thumb and forefinger rests, it tore coming off and I didn't find a solution. So it does bite into my knuckle with the pull of the double bands.
Soo...plan on putting those rubber tube pieces back on!

Ok.. I solved a bit of the comfort problem:
I removed the center core twine from some paracord and flat wraped the thumb and finger support as shown below:
It's still not an all day shooter but it's better. The only thing this tactical shooter is missing is a three point sling and an extende magazine

That was what I was curious about. It looks cool in black. Thanks for sharing all that you have done with the Bird.

It shoots like one too; silent and deadly!

You might have molded a Fimo (plastic clay} handle...baked it...and then plasti dip spray finish...or possibly a hard rubber grip like those used on pistols...I also have recently recieved a Toucan from Dankung and may try one of these modifications.

Glad to know you like it. you can warp a tennis or badminton grip tape to it for much comfort.

nice idea!

[marcus sr]
