Regulated low power Bulldog

[mackeral5]

I've recently been bitten by the Bulldog bug and have traded my way into a couple of them.  1 is being set up as a regulated lower power gun, currently tuned just under 160fpe.  The other is set up for 5 shots in the 260fpe range.  Once it returns from Brian at Veradium Air where it is getting a tensioned OEM barrel I plan to attempt an NUAH submission with it.  The Bulldog in this thread has a 29.5" TJ's 1:26 barrel that was previously in a QB78 project gun.  I added a few layers of CF tubing and made a thimble/bushing from chromoly to fit the .500" diameter barrel to the BD's 11/16" breech.

I am close to finished with the lower power Bulldog and decided to use a NUAH target during the tuning process.

The target:




I really like this platform, however the stock really takes away from the overall package.  This breech, valve, and tube design is far ahead of anything else crosman makes, it is unfortunate they didn't make a wood stock non-bullpup version to replace the Marauder.....

thanks Randy.  I'm convinced with better ammo and a better shooter the gun is capable of more.

Mighty fine shooting. Hard to beat a "Tack Driver bag" and I like synthetic stocks as well. I think you have a Jewel there.

Thank you Jimmy.  Considering the fine specimens in your airsenal, I view that as a very high compliment.

I like the Tack Driver bag, but I was disappointed to have some stitching begin to fail---the straps that hold the fill ports closed were coming loose.  I ultimately super glued them back in place.
