My 2250 really sux

[Onebaddj]

Yeap, Hipac is the quickest and easiest way to get into pcp. You screw it into the gun and it replaces the co2 cartridge and cap. Have not used his bolt but have long probe bolts in my 2250,2400 and 1377, will get you a few fps and get the pellets past the transfer port. That's a good deal getting the extension for free. I have one on my 2400. Adds a few more shots. They are good people to do business with also. always answered all my questions and I had a lot when cutting my teeth in pcp.

Yeah the parts list get a little crazy especially after a few brain lubricating cocktails.

Welcome to the sickness bro. its all over now. lol

ANOTHER  2555? Really? Well I hope you've started a thread for the build, that's all I'm saying. Lol

I finally made it back, safe and sound. Hope everybody had a banging 4th. I spent mine at the farm of a friend. A buddy of mine has a serious crow problem so thought me and my 2250 would go help. He said crows and i thought he was talking about the small blackbird crows I see in my yard. Heck, I pop those ones off on co2 like nothing. These darn things were full fledged ravens. Most of them were the size of hawks. If I hadn't known better i'd swear they were wearing pellet-proof vest.  I can't wait to start my power trip. BTW, who has the best valve or is modding a better option. I have no idea where I read it but it stated that a Dremel tool is pretty much all you need for valve work. Think i'll try my luck tinkering withthe valve this weekend. My hipac unit should be here by here tomorrow - thanks Alex - but can't try it out til I get a pump. Can't get a pump til I get some money. Can't get the money unless i cut back on beer, cigarettes and gas, lol.

hello Steven,

Yes full sized crows can be quite resistant to body shots.
this is because the shafts of the wing feathers are VERY stout and "energy absorbing". Any "profile" body shot requires more power than most shooters would figure.
 as well, even for a straight on breast shot, the ribcage is stout and flexible.
Again,... some significant power to flex, break, and penetrate the ribs/sternum is necessary, AND,... a very well place shot for the heart and lungs.
 Crow/Ravens are tough. No doubt about it.
They are also VERY smart.
Once a few are taken out, the others will recognize a rifle as danger, and will take off flying as soon as they see you carrying a rifle.

I don't know if you have seen my thread on my most recent build in progress, but you might find it interesting.

I wondered if you would get the bug, welcome to the darkside. 
I put a hipac on my 2250 as well, very versatile setup.

Now that's a nice looking gun.
thanks for sharing.

That is a nice looking set-up.
is that a BNM breech ?
Where did you get the stock and forearm ?

Just remember Ron... I seen it first.......lol

I really did get the bug. I've been sick as a dog for the last few days. It may be "the curse of the crow". Old man told me that if you shoot one that doesn't die and it sees you as it flys away, you'll get the curse. At least I didn't grow a beak and feathers...yet. My hipac arrived and now just waiting on the pump. Think i'm going to have to skip groceries this week though. Good thing my wife likes soup and water, lol. I did do a little valve work during my illness and I have to say...OMFG 12g co2 went from 40+ down to 16 shots. Even thought they're more powerful and louder. I can swear i see spray coming out the end of the barrel. BTW, cycle pump didn't work. Neither did my baloon blower upper.

Sultan...real nice setup.

Thanks guys, the breech and stock are from GMac.  It's got 2 hipac extensions, and an 18" barrel, which help if you're using a modded valve. This one has the hipac valve .  I think Ribbonstone has posted some good info on these,
