Yeah, me too. I will take one in the camo, too, as well as the black..

Gots da feelin' I'ma have lotsa these SPA guns before long, ha!

[avator]

From the grin on Betty Lou's face last night I'm pretty sure there will be at least one more in our house.
Altho, I did ask her what kind of pellet gun she wanted for her birthday tomorrow. She told me that it would be in my better interest to get a very short and narrow one..... I'm still trying to figure that out.

2K1TJ, here they are on the new CP2, will be the same grips, and stock, except black version.

Thank you

[2K1TJ]

But the stock and grip set that will be sold separately will be black.

Thanks. Black's fine with me. I can camo it myself if I see fit.

Since you have an AMV and a cp-1m, you think the stock and pistol grip might work on the Varmint?

[2K1TJ]

Actually, instead of putting the pistol grip set on the AMV, I think I would rather pin the valve on the cp-2m and put a bottle on it. Assuming the tube is up to it. More research needed.

Sorry for daydreaming all in your thread, Bill

That's a great question I'm interested in as well! Good way to check would be to try and put the cp1 grip you have now on the Varmint, at least might be an indication if it would be compatible.

According to (rumours, not confirmed by me) a Russian site, the cp1 and the Plinkster have the same tube wall as Varmint. You need to either put a Varmint valve in or do what I did to convert the cp1 valve to bulk co2, then pin it. I stuck some more orings in between the halves of the valve and inserted it through the back end of the tube untightened. This allows the orings to be down enough to not get shredded in all the holes back there. Then you have to tighten the valve in the tube. I took out the piercing pin and cut notches in the front of the valve to do that like a qb78.
Personally I would be more interested in using the Varmint tube, would make it nice and light anyway!

Dream on Brothers.... it's information shared.

[WesBob]

Bill, I was wondering, what does the end cap look like on your Varmint? I see it has threads, seemingly on the inside of the tube like the cp1? How do they seal the tube, is the the oring right at the front of the tube so it doesn't have to be pushed through the threads? That would make it basically the same as the cp1 and the Plinkster, not really the safest method, being the tube will be thinner there, but I am not seeing how else they'd get an oring down the tube in front of the threads without chewing the oring up. Thanks for any info you can share.

I don't have access to the website here at work, they got it blocked. Go to the MRODAIR site and bring up the exploded view. That should give you an idea. I have not had my gun apart at all so I really don't know..... yet.

[WesBob]

Ok thanks will do

[avator]

I know someone dropped the exploded view in one these AMV threads but I'm not sure which one. I have it on my laptop at home if you don't find it. Remind me and I'll pop it in here.

Here ya go:

[WesBob]

Thanks! MrodAir didn't have it. Someone should send them this!
Looks like the oring is in front of the threads which is good. They must have put fine enough threads on it that it doesn't hurt the oring. The cp1 has coarse threads. Fine threads are probably stronger hey, shows how mechanical I am

[WesBob]

Hi Bill sorry to bother you again with more questions lol, just wondering for us Canadians that aren't allowed to have an ldc, would the cp1 muzzle weight/front sight work as a replacement for the Varmint ldc or would it be too short? Thanks

[avator]

I believe it is the same. I'll have a look in the morning. I just woke up with a spot of heart burn... I'll learn about eating fast food one of these days.

Not , I still have not learned not to eat the food that give me reflux and heart burn. I just take an antacid and keep on eating 

[avator]

I'm making my famous chili today.... Betty Lou's birthday weekend continues. Right up until time to clean up the mess. I have not told her about this part yet... no sense in ruining a good thing prematurely. I had to go shopping for some ingredients this morning. Antacid was on the list.

These sound like great guns!

After reading this post, I found: about the size and weight I want(feels like a 22 rifle), a .177 is big bug accurate at 50 yards, a .22 is quieter, Rockerfied both have tolerable noise levels, and a $200 gun will cost about seven bills to get started eatin the cookies(that hopefully won't cause heartburn) including a cheap pump that I won't want to use but need to have just in case, a small tank for filling most of the time, the ldc, and probably one of the three 22Mag 3-9x32 scopes that I already have.

Still gotta clear out two or three springers to make room in the airgun closet for the Varmint, tank, and pump.
