Title: Fun fact about the Crosman 150 pistol
Post by: happymecanic on January 25, 2020, 12:04:59 AM
I discovered today that a 1399 stock fits perfectly on the Crosman 150 pistol. Maybe I'm living under a big rock, but I didn't know about that  ;D. You have to lightly force open the grip of the 1399 stock over the 150 grip frame pins, but once it's passed, it slides nicely in place. The screw holes align perfectly, and despite the big gap between the grip and grip frame on the bottom, there's no wobble at all. That's cool, I like shooting a pistol with a carbine stock at times, knowing it's that easy to swap the grips for the stock is nice! Another nice thing would be a 10'' or 12'' barrel, to complete the carbine look. Hmmm, I have a spare Crosman 1400 barrel... ???

Pretty Cool, but I like my 150 just like it is.  Has a nice feel to it.

One word of caution that I would pass on is,
Make sure that you have all the fingers behind/below the end of the muzzle, as I also have the same setup that is scoped.

I wasn't paying attention when I was thumping Starlings, and didn't have one of my fingers below the muzzle,
which produced a neat 22 caliber groove thru my hide, OUCH!, wounding me and thumping the starling.......

I have made a temporary finger guard to prevent and further problems.....  until I have a slightly longer bbl installed,
in the 14-16" range, also the bbl diameter is in the .560" range, just slightly larger than the normal bbl diameters.

Some where in this section, I have a photo of my setup, which I really like, which makes a great hunting setup... ;)
Here is the photo of my scoped setup,

 It's a 140 barrel/breech on it. I made a short pin for the grip frame so the 1399 would slide on easy.
