Been working on this one for far too long. My 1760 creation.
Started life as a 1377, and things got outta hand from there.
Added the steel breech, 24" disco barrel and TKO.
Then swapped everything between the breech/barrel and grip frame for 2260 parts.
.22 casing and clipped a couple coils to help with the trigger pull.
The stock is from Tom West. You can find him on the green. He will put a stock out there every so often along with posting it on ebay.
I reached out to him and special ordered a poplar stock with the longer fore-arm, rough cut and unfinished.
The fit was perfect (he has a 2250 he fits to).
Kept working the poplar trying to get a finish I liked, and yes, ended up just spraying it black.
Total cost? - yeah, no don't want to talk about that...
Haven't done any valve work yet, haven't decided if I will. It's shooting 7.9gr CPHP at 675fps.
It's got a BSA Sweet 22 3-9x40AO scope on it.
The entire package is very light and more accurate than I am.

At this point, I believe I'm just a complete grip frame assembly (sear, trigger, frame, etc) from being able to rebuild the original 1377.
Pretty sad. But it was fun to do and I really am enjoying the end result.
