Waisted
I added an adjustable recoil pad to the stock butt, not for the recoil but for the comfort and to make it adjustable as I find the stock to be a bit high for me and I find I am tending to hold the butt high on my shoulder. This pad fixes this problem.
http://www.morganrecoilpad.com/servlet/Detail?no=6I tried the Pilkguns trigger mod but I was not as pleased with the results as I had hoped. If I set the trigger for less than 3 pounds a hard pull on the trigger while the cocking lever is pulled back for loading will release the hammer. Perhaps a minor problem as most people don't pull the trigger while inserting a pellet but this feature is designed as a second safety. I find that a good sear polishing and then I put the hammer in a drill press and polish it with 2000 grit waterpaper and oil to a high gloss will result in a pull of about 3 pounds. Maybe I didn't do the trigger mod properly but I followed instructions with pictures and everything.
I had made a very crude wooden extension with a little butt hook for the 953, so I tried it on the 853C with all the existing extensions. Works really well. Looks dreadful

Thanks for the observations on the Pilkguns mod. I'll leave things as they are for a while to give the trigger a chance to settle and wear in a bit, then I'll hopefully be able to see where the sear needs polished. In the 953 there was a high point where it rubs against the flange of the hammer during release. I like the idea of chucking up the hammer and spinning some fine oiled sandpaper on it!
I don't mind a heavy trigger - the trick is in getting total repeatability, which it doesn't have right now.
But this gun shoots really really well! I'm very pleased.
