i have no idea what you are going for with using the cup guard as a stock, but those things are typically hollow.

there is literally no room on a rapier for a scope to be stored. To start with, Rapiers typically have sheathes, which could be used as an alternate to using the Rapier Blade; the rapier blade could fold into the handle or guard, or even form the trigger, while the Sheath, which (coincidentally) are usually about the best proportions for a Sniper Rifle Muzzle.

Second, I refer to the traditional Dome of Fencing Foils as Dome Guards. These are Bell Guards as I understand them, seen on Stage Combat swords, Cutlasses, Epees, etc.

and if the Sheathe is used as the Muzzle, the scope could be simply attached to the sheath. Not saying it's practical, but it is doable, I think.

Call me stubborn, but I personally like the idea.
