Hacking the CP-2
George Schmermund:
The CP-2 from Mrodair arrived a couple of days ago and I've had a chance to give it a cursory inspection. So far I've just done a mechanical inspection and switched the 2 barrels in and out and pushed around the rest of the moving parts. I haven't loaded and used the magazines yet, but the single shot pellet tray registers well.
The pistol grip is somewhat awkward for my hand, but the shoulder stock arrangement for converting it to a carbine makes a more comfortable grip. The length of pull with the stock installed is quite short for me. The overall ergonomics seem to be designed for the average Chinese customer. None of these traits are really a negative to me because my plan is to customize the gun to what I want anyway. This is a project gun and the basic foundation appears to be sound.
Most of the action parts have a gritty feel to them, but that's all part of tuning things up. The left-side bolt is desirable in my case. The 'thing?' that screws onto the end of the barrel is very effective. I took it apart and there is an assortment of unusual compartments inside. I think they are for storing extra pellets when you're traveling.
Today's project is to clean the barrels and do some testing from the vise. I'm going to remove the open sights and replace then with a red dot or telescopic sight. I'm curious to see how the CP-2 accuracy compares to the Vigilante carbine build.
There are several tests and experiments that I've been planing to do with this new gun. This should be good year for the test bench!
