Looking for a new air gun help

[Rover]

Actually, the custom shop calls it the 1300kt. There's also the American Classic pistol. The basic custom shop versions are around $150 with a Lothar Walther barrel or $105 with a Crosman barrel. But they usually end up costing more with all the options out there. If you havn't seen it, this is a fun site http://www.crosman.com/custom-shop/

Here's one set up by Mac 1 Airguns for bunnies and general campsite fun.

Rover, that is pretty cool site.  That was a pistol converted to rifle looks nice.    And for the money its almost disposable.   You can even have it Engraved on the side.  Do you think Crosman would care if I put this on the side? (have to click image to see it)

How does it shoot?

[Rover]

Haha, it'd definitely get first place for funniest engraving.

Out of the box and offhand it made bottle caps jump all day. Not sure of the range but I'm very impressed with the accuracy.

And you can increase the power of a 13xx quite a bit with aftermarket parts...or homemade mods.

How do you pump that thing?  Was looking for a video on it.  Its a pump right? not Co2

[Rover]

Yep, the forearm is the pump grip.

Thanks for all the suggestions on guns.  I finally pulled the trigger on my next gun.



looks to be a fun shooter. 

Still in the market for a pump as well.  probably a benjamin or that crosman pistol

It would be nice if somebody built a pump that had PCP power, especially a pistol.  Even your old Crosman 760 was only 7 ftlbs and less if it was the Canadian model.  I had one as well, I'd be a better shot today if it were an accurate rifle.

I guess the thought of building a four stage pump into the gun is too much, especially since the get more for the pump than the rifle...hard to believe a PCP cost more than a springer, it has half the parts, and except for the barrel, none of them difficult or expensive to manufacture.(To build a spring gun they have to buy the tools to drill a deep straight hole in a block of steel.  A pcp can be built in your basement  with a Dremel too and some Home Depot pipe fittings.)

Got a Hatsan 125 Sniper .25cal that I really don't like.  It weighs as much as a bull barrel varmint rifle but will remind you of that forgotten part of hunting with your Crosman.("Really, BB's are less accurate than pellets."  "?...!...?..., Uh..?")

I guess there was a few pumps that had some power but at the 7th pump it was like 70 pounds of effort.    Sales suffered as they were just too hard to pump.

Yea I am not sure why the PCPs cost more than the springers.    I have found those simple little fitting are expensive.   All the high pressure lines, valves seem to cost more.  A simple high pressure quick connect fitting is 30.00.

You have a pump with PCP power.

I like that FX indy, WOW 2 shot 16 pumps and a magazine.   Pretty nice pump gun.    Have you shot one?

I might have to add that to my list. 

[Rattosaurus]

I'm new here and don't know how to use that quote thing myself.


WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY!  was  "Hah ha!  The Indy has a fill pressure rating, that's why it shoots frogs more faster dan my bb gun.".....But! I shot a big old water moccasin the other day.  Broke it's back, first shot, while it was swimming.  So there!

New Lever Action Walther turned into a lemon clips eater.

Less than 1 CO2 tank and it broke the tooth off all 5 new clips

[39M]

I'd send it back and get a Hammerli 850. Or a Crosman 2400kt.

Both of those guns might be a better for Co2.   But the Walther Lever is all about the lever action and look of an old western gun.   Its a fun gun to plink with.    But for sure if the next one is a clip eater I will look into the crossman or the Hammerli.
