First off, thanks to my buddy David (Rocker1) for the gift of a 1377. He also sent it to Matt (Toolmaker) who worked his magic on the internals, trigger and safety. EXCELLENT work also Matt!!!! After I got my hands on it, I started my tinkering.

I ordered a 14.5" .22 barrel and breach bolt assembly, along with the Backpacker stock and foregrip. I added a Redhead 2.5-7X32 AO scope on a set of peep mounts. After installing all that, I decided to go a bit longer and ordered a 24" barrel.

After looking at the different plastic paints available, I FINALLY picked the new suit for my friend.
I'd like to introduce "Goldfinger". He will get a little more dress out treatment soon. I am having a hard time finding a 1/2" riser kit, they seem to be out of stock. After getting that, I hope to add a custom full shroud.

Before....

Now....

Stay tuned for more updates and Chrony numbers. I'm not having too much luck indoors with my Chrony so I'll try to get some numbers outside this weekend.
Thanks again to all the fellerz that helped on my project.
Happy Shooting!!!!
Dave

Thanks guys, and NO flaming yet?

Figured there HAS to be some comments about a deformed pistola. HeeHee
I'm just not much on air pistols.
It is deadly accurate as far as I can tell with my short 20' indoor range. And the only round I could get a Chrony on so far was 4 pumps at just under 400fps. I THINK he's gonna be a real shooter. But hey, it's long enough to almost TOUCH the target at 20'.

Hey bro, bring that ugly ole pistol up the road here and we'll check her out. (That's about the worst flaming I can provide on such a beautiful gun!)

Maybe, it will warm up here in west tennessee sometime this year so we can go shooting.

It looks like a good pistol now.

That's a great lookin' RIFLE, can't even call that one a carbine! lol! I can't wait to see what kind of #'s you get outta it.

That's another sharp set up Dave. What plastic paint was it you used on it?

ezman604 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 30, 2011, 11:12:37 PM »

RUST-OLEUM Universal Advanced Formula METALLIC All-Surface Paint. In Aged Copper color.

Jay · « **Reply #16 on:** March 31, 2011, 02:08:55 AM »

Thank's Dave, thinking that I'd like to do the stock on mine.

ezman604 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 31, 2011, 07:44:05 AM »

Since it's Aged Copper, I guess I SHOULD name her "Miss Moneypenny" but it looks more like a guy gun.

So "Goldfinger" it is.

Nice!

My 24" .177 barrel is on its way from Crosman, as is the 1399 stock, steel breech, and 2289 forearm. Also ordered a flat top valve & piston from Mellon.

I'd thought about painting my stocks as well, so if you've had good luck with the Rustoleum, I'll go for it.
