Thread: other components needed?

hi, im looking to get a ws to craft me a nice carbine (a mk2 e11) i have some nice 130 -0.37tissues ready.....is there anything else that will help?
i plan on asking the ws to push the sac cost down then damage then speed. i figure sac 75 and the damage over 1010 will slice nicely
Ask him to make it with a nice scope to reduce the sac cost and use his best materials.

Lol, use his best materials, like he's gonna hoard the GOOD stuff unless you ask for it?
And a scope?That adds accuracy bonus. It's the stock that lowers SAC.
Did I detect a hint of sarcasm?
Also hitting 75, even with pre-cu stocks is gonna be kinda hard as I recall. I managed to get one down to 80 with some pre-cu stocks.
Its more than possible to hit 75 with both pre and post cu stocks, You just have to know how to experiment all the components right

Well what I do is experimenting all components to lowest possible sac, even the Stocks (thou I might relocate 2 points to speed as Im hitting sac cap with 2 points left after making dam). The slight speed addition granted by the stocks isnt really important when you go for all sac wepaons.

Actually it is easier to get SAC down with post-CU stocks, you can hit -23 or -24 depending on your successes. The ones I am using now are about +1.0 speed and -23 SAC, all pre-cu stocks are +0.0 speed -20 SAC. I think .1 speed is a decent loss for 2-3 SAC.

Cool, thanks guys. I'm just now getting into the SAC-lowered business and honestly haven't really done a whole lot yet. I finally made my first factory run of low SAC ABPH's, so I'll make up a run of low SAC stocks and barrels.
One other question for you WS's. How do you differentiate on your vendors DPS vs SAC weapons? In other words, do you name your weapons differently, set up separate vendors, etc?
