I believe that this one has a top mounted tickler. A simple little see saw arrangement that lifts the string over the shelf.

Freiman has the right of it, it's a notch lock mechanism. I prefer those for Combat Archery as there is no fiddling with a roller nut etc...

I think you are thinking of a folding stock. Bayonet lug is where the bayonet attaches to the barrel.

I've been contemplating adding a laser pointer just to complete the joke, don't know if anyone would get wadded up over it though.

To be a real 'black rifle' equivalent it needs a forward pistol grip, a folding stock and the dreaded 30 round magazine. Not certain how you are going to hang 30 bolts from it but the stock mods should be pretty easy and I would DEFINITELY put a (removable) laser sight on it. Then you need a little dummy switch for single/burst/auto with the auto scribbled on in red crayon like Wille-E-Coyote modded it.

Enjoy your new toy!

Aye, I was kind of quoting a gun grabbing politician. She wasnt even sure what she was trying to ban. They asked her what a barrel shroud was and she said "isnt that the shoulder thing, that goes up"

I wasnt sure if anyone would catch that.
