Here we are with 50ft of paracord:
Got this from Pro-Nature in Temiskaming, Quebec. I then went next door and bought many, many beers.

I have not seen anyone else make the joke yet, so I have to say this is my first "black rifle." I am pretty happy with the value for the money. The plastic sights had some lines from miss-aligned molds. my rear sight rocked side to side slightly so I took it apart and used a fine file to flatten the bottom. In doing so I almost lost the little detent ball and tiny spring under the windage knob. There are other small springs and clips in it. If you take it apart, look in your manual at the exploded diagram so you know what to watch for and do it in a clean place so you can find tiny pieces that go flying.
In stock form, it measures about 8-1/2" from the top of the front sight to the top of the but plate when folded. If you remove the bottom picatinny rail, it drops 1" to 7-1/2" There seems to be lots of complaints that it is a triangle when folded. That bugged me too until I actually held it in my hands. It is frikkin' tiny. It would be cool to make it a little more compact so I have some rough ideas to share. I want to make a stalk with only a bottom piece and a rotating butt end. The wire stalk attaches with an M6x1.0 thread with a flat side on it. I can make the plate that attaches to the back of the reciever pretty easily. I don't show it in the pictures. I figure a hollow tube that would fit .22 cartridges would be good. I have a few more things to work out such as the best way to lock the butt end.

these are with the bottom rail removed. I may heat and curve the 3/4" pvc pipe. I would like to make it usable for storage too.
sorry for the novel, any helpful suggestions are welcome.

The Tactical Badger?
The Magpul AFG makes shooting much more comfortable (but will not fold down as compactly). Also going to have a local bud wrap the wireframe stock in black leather.

here is mine, with some mods to it.
i used a 1" wooden dowel to make a small pistol grip and a random screw that worked in the grip. then wrapped it in electrical tape for that real custom look
i machined the bottom rail so the gun would fold better.
and here are some groupings with federal 525 bulk(top right), winchester m22(bottom left), remington golden bullets(bottom right), and ek standard(top left) 10 shot groups at 15m.

Based on your locale, try DSTactical (formerly Daves Surplus) in New West, just across the border from Burnaby.
Be prepared to browse for hours, and walk out with much more than just paracord ...
As far as I know, I'm the first person on the planet to do this...
There is a heavy stainless barrel weight threaded on the end to keep the muzzle climb to a minimum.
Underneath, the drool piece is a 17mm to 22mm rail adapter that I designed and fabbed.
You can see how the Fab PTK fits VERY nicely... and allows the shooting hand to point naturally... And folded, still fits inside the Badger Bag that it came with.
Cheers!
