So I had these for a couple years. I was always curious on making a longer barrel one. I crudely turned a crosman 1377 barrel down to work in a P17. My lathe was drill in a vise. With a 2x4 screwed to the bench with a hole drilled in to stabilize it. Wire to hold down the trigger on the drill at a speed. And I went at it with files and sand paper.
I started with a brand new one that shot 396 FPS with 7.9s. I broke the faux muzzle brake fitting the first one. But I was able to get 421 FPS with the longer 10.1" barrel. 8.3's fire about 398..
Wife going into surgery soon. Since I focus alot now on powder burners. So I figured I won't be able to go far ( Recovery ) So last last week, I went back in the parts box and took the other slide I had laying around. Started to drill, dremel, to fit the new barrel. Well success. Fits like a glove.
So I found and purchased the last slide extender in Canada ( he's no longer making them ) So I'm mounting the slide extender, a 2x20 pistol scope and a friend is turning me a muzzle brake.. Should be my new mouse dispatcher.
So should have some stuff to play around with in the basement. While being yelling distance for the wife.
