Quote from: bantam5s on September 21, 2021, 01:02:41 AMWhat airgun related did I do today?Well aside from doing some more work towards the 2240 stuby build, I kind of had my bubble burst with this project.I was all excited about this build and how I was kind of creating something unique with the reshaped grip frame and rear cocking hammer that nobody else had thought of before ( somewhat, the stubby has been done alot )Well as it turns out that I am actually 67 years too late, somehow I completely forgot completely about the Crosman model 150 and 157 That's right, this whole time I was inadvertently thinking up and recreating the model 150 which was introduced in 1954 Actually I'm pretty happy to know that I seem to think they way Crosman did back in their heyday , and the gun will be even more cool because it will essentially be a model 157 but a bit more modular.I am not sure if you know but the 150/157 grip frame will fit a 2240 too.And here is the stubby I made with a Sheridan for comparison.

I like the looks of that pistol case David.Does it have two compartments?
Sure seems to be dialing in, those bottom groups show a lot of promise for both of you!
I got this rimfire PB that keeps me guessing weather or not to put one of my "Springer Rated" scopes on it?
Shot the DAR Gen II,QB 78 and the Origin. Dropped a pellet got up and walked around my patio table to retrieve it and watched my Origin catch some wind and roll off the bags then bounce off a chair then off my concrete patio. No serious harm to the rifle or scope, just some character marks.The Origin is tougher than it looks.
