I won't have any krayt tissues available, so I want to know the best combination of componments to get the best results for the DXR6 and Elite carbines. I have 2 Imperial formfitted stocks, and scopes as well from the Imperial themepark but am thinking advanced scopes as well as barrels are the better way to go.
I am looking to optimizing accuracy and damage and the ham costs won't matter, Any ideas?

the stocks from the imp themepark are good, havea good weaponsmith make the scopes and barrels, if you want dmg tell them to use adv barrels, if you want speed, go with regular rifle barrels.

No they are not good, they are ok (allthough I stopped using them after the 2nd one I had). They have +30 damage with no HAM but with people rely so much on Buffs these days, HAM means jack and we can make advanced stocks +40 damage

consider the speed reduction from the form fitting stocks too, player made stocks increase the speed.
ham's aren't an issue, nobody does anything these days without being buffed.
that said, if you're really not bothered about ham costs, use a player made stock and a precision tuned scope

Imp stocks increase speed (0.5 better speed), crafted stocks make gunslower. Carbineer, at least iof you don't have BH carbines, is one of the few profession where speed matters as master. Imp stocks are great
The imp scopes sucks however. Crafted advanced scopes are in most cases better (higher accuracy and lower HAM).
If you always run around buffed then HAM is not a problem. However this will probably change in combat revamp (if they do this right a lot of things will start to matter more; HAM cost, speed for all professions).

Depending on what weapon you are making Imp Stocks are better then player crafted ones. Carbines, especially if you are a master carbineer and not Carbineer/BH, really need the Imp Stocks, as Carbineers only get 60 Carbine Speed. To be able to spam Crippling Shot at 1.0 seconds, you need 85 Carbine Speed (so either SEAs or BH Carbine), hence, why Imp Stocks are very important to Carbineers.
Example. On Scylla, a normal Laser Carbine is 40-273 @ 3.5 Speed. With a stock, it goes to 80-313 @ 3.9. With an Imp Stock, it goes to 65-303 @ 3.0. Since speed will be an issue to non dabblers, run the DPS on each and see which is better
