Thread: +25 cap on skill mod additions what contributes to this?
IMO, thats a different bonus, and does not add to +25

Assuming that you'r referring to a +15 Accuracy Bonusthat's lited on the stats for your pistol, and youmean that the second number for your accuracy mod on your control-S window increases when you equip it, I can't reproduce that result. I just tried equipping two different rifles that each had an accuracy bonus, and neither of them changed either my General Ranged Accuracy or my Rifle Accuracy mods. Is that what you were referring to, or did I misunderstand you?
Incidentally, you can add PSG's with an accuracy bonus to the list of things that are apparently included in the +25. At least mine does increase the second number when I equip it. If that's true, I wish that had occurred to me earlier, because I needlessly spent a lot of money on SEA's trying to cap an accuracy modthat was already capped!

Are you talking about the stat labeled "Accuracy Bonus," (right underneath the "Damage" stat) or a stat that shows up at the very top of the rifle description uner a header that I think is labelled "Skill Mods?" I suspect that we may be referring to two different things. if the latter, I think those mods are basically the equivalent of an SEA being attached to the weapon (for lack of a better way to describe it), whereas the Accuracy Bonus is a stat that does not figure into your player accuracy mods and does not change your visible stats, but is still somehow part of the damagecalculation when a shot is fired. I'm still trying to figure out myself exactly what the Accuracy Bonus does.

MyFeather has Pistol Accuracy +15 built into the gun, I've just droped all my Pistol skills, got naked (the girls ran away) and my skill for Pistol Accuracy is +0/+15 in the skills window. So it looks like mods in guns count towards the 25

Please do--I'd be interested in reading that!

Acc Bonus has nothing to do with your skills. It's based against the targets defense. There was a big post on the WS fourm ages ago that explained it. I'll try to find the link when I can.
