Title: Pistol plinking (now that it is spring)
Post by: Ribbonstone on March 31, 2018, 08:34:36 PM

Favored pisatol/plinker.   Not after power for plinking, just accuracy / size / handling.  Just need to hit-the-"stuff" I am at, not tear it to pieces.

Been about 6 months (from last  early fall) to today (early spring).  Must have done somthing right as it stil had some gas pressure when I took it out today ( think I put it away late September/early October....so call it  5 months).

Basically have 5 mags....45 shots....so wanted a hady sized/wegiht  pistol-plinker that would run though all the mags (45 shots) on one 12gr.


Ended up with this...shrouded and iron sighted, after all...just how far are you going to be shooting a 5 foot pound .177?).

Fill 5 mags....load a single 12gr. co2 into the pistol...shoot....stop shooting when you run out of mags (or refill all 5 mags and pop-off another 12gr.)....seems simple enough to me.

If you are looking for an inexpensive, sturdy, fun to shoot plinker, here you go.  Tons of modifications available.  Pick one up and go have fun.

Think I got that covered with an old 1700 (with a trigger job and a shroud).  It's about as big a pistol as I can deal with as a pistol (as in stand up on your hind legs and shoot it)
