Your retro rifle is super cool 😎. That's some good performance, too.
Thanks guys. I built one other gun, a carbine on a 2200 tube with the same internal valve setup. The flat top 1377 valve/piston cranks up the performance. It's a real hodgepodge of parts but shoots great. It is a favorite of mine in retro style as it's lightweight and the pumping is so easy. It gets 675-680fps with Crosman 14.3g pellets at 12 pumps. I thought I would use my other tube for a pistol just for fun. Going to make this pistol a rear cocker as I noticed I have an assembly from an old 1377.

I'll be watching your progress, I've been curious how a stock Crosman rear cocking setup works compared to the newer type of hammer
