Accuracy, HAM,and speed is not an issue (I'm a BH). But how what components will increase damage? Obviously slice, krayt tissue, and pups, but what else?
Scopes? Stocks? Muzzle? Grips? What kind?

well if you don't care about HAM or speed get a Accuracy experimented scope and an advnaced stock. thats about all you can do other then krayt and slice

Would adding a scope decrease my damage at all? Like i said,I don't need accuracy as a BH.
Which is better for damage purposes? Adv Stock or Imperial themepark stock?

So I want to use crafted stocks? Well that saves me about 500k. thnx
yah see my post in the WS forums, and no scopes only add accuracy and wound they don't take away anything

Ok, so I want some nice crafted stocks.
And since scopes can only help, why the hell not? What kind should I be looking for here?

well as a weaponsmith i make 1/1/1 HAM scopes with +12 range but if you don't care about HAM at all you can have weaponsmiths make 23/23/23 HAM scopes with about +50 range

Imperial form-fitted stocks and scopes from the Imperial Themepark are quite nice to use on carbines.

thought I'd just throw a little info out for you non weaponsmiths looking at what works best for you.
Theme park Stocks are 25min/35max, -.5 speed, 0/0/0hams
Standard crafted stocks are(differs on each server) 40min/40max, +.28 speed, 27/27/27hams
Low Ham Models are 39min/40max, +.81 speed, 14/14/14 hams
If speed isn't terribly important then the low ham models give you a good balance of hams vs damage though to get the absolute lowest hams you need to use the theme park stocks, though it will ultimately lower your damage mods a bit. For any high end Carbines I normally use the Form Fitted Stocks(theme park stocks).
Never ever ever use the theme park scopes(only exception is if you want extra wound %). both sets of scopes I craft are significantly better than the theme park scopes.
Range Scopes +43 ideal range mod, 15/15/15 hams
Low Ham Scopes +22 ideal range mod, 0/0/0hams
Stats will vary based on server and each individual weaponsmiths abilities but this should give you some idea at least for what options work best. Also some of those stats are extremely difficult to get(specifically the low ham stocks) so check with your smith on what specific stats he is able to get prior to ordering your weapon.
