Crosman Steel Breech, benefits and sight options?

[Rick67]

It's all together 

I had some leakage around the transfer port at first, losing 60+ fps on average with the steel breech. Luckily I got things sorted, passing the tissue test and regained original velocity. Now just have to sight in later. I want to give a big thanks to everyone who helped out, so Thank You. This pistol feels much better now, can't wait to sight in and get shooting. If this gun sees any changes it will be grips/pump handle upgrade and a solid pivot pin. Other than that it's perfect for me.

All it needs is a Vernon Austin furniture

Oh yeah, sounds good 

Can't make it too pretty, I won't want to shoot it, lol. (So no chrome for me, lol) Although, there's a ceramic coating I've seen on some PB's, can't think of the name at the moment, but that would take one of these over the top with Vernon Austin furniture. There are all different colors that could be had,  but I'd pick gun metal grey with blue laminated furniture if I could do it.

The VA 13xx pump handle makes pumping almost effortless, as it gives you improved leverage like the now extinct Fatty 13xx plastic foream.

He does not use side screws, but rather drill the metal pump lever (I had to send mine to him)  at the bottom, then use 6-32 cap screws, so the furniture’s holes is at the bottom.

It is more durable, obviously, ‘cuz the belly is the thickest part.

He also installs 3 layers of round translucent rubber protectors, so it deadens the clacking sound.

Very ingenious 

Oh, I did say that the inletting and finish are a work of art, did I not?
