MRodAir Air Max Varmint in .177

[.]

Well the .177 Plinkster showed up today to complete the trilogy.

The CP-2M carbine is part of the larger, um, quadrilogy? Tetralogy?

Well, there's four per set per caliber, my friend, your work here is certainly not done, ha ha!

Aaand, the CP-2M carbine in .177 may just be the perfect gun for Betty Lou, too, ever thinka dat?

Nice! Will be great to hear how it shoots!

First let me address the quadrophenia thing....
That will be covered with the shoulder stock and grip set. 
Moving right along now....
Removed the rear sight to get the Simmons 22 mag scope mounted low. Popped the required 3 C02 carts in. You have to crank down pretty good to (pop-a-top) on the C02 because these are like the CP-1 pistol in that is has a piercing (tooth) instead of a piercing pin. Loaded up a mag with CPHP and set a high strength steel blank out to 35 yds. Within 7 shots I was in a dime. Enter Betty Lou. Another 5 shots and she was stacking them. Did anyone see me say that I cleaned the barrel? Didn't think so cuz I didn't. Betty Lou shot another 2 mags and released me to the compressor room to phase 2 on the UPS delivery.... the inline dryer. Bottom line, the Plinkster is a keeper. It has Betty Lou's stamp of approval. I'm surprised how quite the gun is. Quieter than the Varmint. We'll have to get some side by side numbers.

Great to hear it is such a shooter! They must have good barrel making engineers at SPA, the way they shoot across the board it seems. Will be waiting for some chrony numbers!

I'd be interested in knowing whether all the guns in the CP/PR/CR series' have the same barrel, but just in differing lengths? Or do the M and P series guns have a better one?

I'm in for 10 SPAs by the time I am set, at least, ha ha!

Just waiting for a certain somebody to run a sale on a certain something and maybe I'll take one in each caliber to move closer to my own double quadrephenia effect, lol. I like light, easy handling guns, ya know?

[WesBob]

Just wondering Bill, if you get the chance, to see if the end caps on the plinkster and varmint have the same size threads? Julie at snowpeak says she can ship me some parts and I wanted to see if I could buy a pr900w end cap and the Plinkster tube to use for the CP2. Thanks if it works sometime that'd be great.

Bill I've been thinking that the Plinkster would be an ideal gun (if a person wanted to) for modifying in the future in case you or Betty Lou chose to modify it too, I think these SPA guns have much potential in all categories !!!

I'ma really have one of each of the CP/CR/PR series guns in each caliber before too long, as the base for my new lego collection. Like Wes, I wanna switch out parts between them and make customized, idealized guns outta them. Making guns for girls has become my passion, I guess, and these legos can be made into carbines that will work especially well for women and girls alike...

These guns are turning into more of a 'direction' than a collection, for me, because they open doors long shut to us gals, we can't shoot the big stuff you guys like comfortably, but outta these parts, perfection just may arise...

We'll see!

With an additional M16 in .25, and an M30 in .177, (an' maybe another in .22), and my SPA collection will be complete.

Oh, yeah, and an LR700W, can't fergit dem pumpers!

I'll have a look at the end caps this evening. Just from memory I do believe they are the same. Think this way.... SPA is still a low end gun manufacturer. I'm sure they would take every opportunity to interchange parts as possible.
Chick... you might need to put a compressor closer to the top of your "must have" list.

I just love living here...
On my way to the showers this morning to prepare for the day's holdings, I was stopped at the dining room table by the sight of the new Plinkster. I knew it had a full mag in it and a relatively fresh C02. What better time to make sure it's not a leaker? I snatched it up and stepped out the back door onto the deck. I have Folgers coffee containers hanging in various tree around the farm. I picked one at around fifty yards out. From the standing position off hand... POP POP POP ! Three in a row !
That's no big deal, you say, I can do that....
Really?  In your boxer briefs?

Now there's an image I really didn't need this early I the morning!      It'll probably stick with me all day too!  LOL.

Without a pic it's only a fishing tale 

[avator]

I would think a disclaimer would have been even better than a picture.

[Sfttailrdr46]

  That is a visual I can live without , now I am scared for life.... That reminds me of a weekend of camping at the Harley Rendezvous upstate NY woke up with a full bladder after a long night of drinking beer and hanging with friends . When I stepped out of the tent I had forgotten that all I was wearing was a tee shirt

A similar event for me in Saudi except all I was wearing was a jockstrap and combat boots 

I would have kept the pic but it was confiscated due to the "sensitive area" I was in

  My girlfriend now wife almost died laughing because the rest of the rowdy crowd was already up and drinking coffee. Worst was the woman were all throwing wolf whistles and telling me to take it all off.  At the time 18 years ago I was 195 with a 32" waist so in decent shape. To this day whenever we get together with our riding buddies one of the women who saw the whole thing will start humming the stripper song

I learned a long time ago (about the time the world wide web was invented) not to take compromising pictures.

I thank the guy up stairs that cameras on cell phones were not the rage back then

However...there was this time camping on the Columbia River. A female and I woke up as the sun was rising and participated in round 2 of the night's activities. Upon exiting the tent and on my way to the showers I was greeted by applause from various groups of campers. Confused I looked around to see that our tent was situated between them and that rising sun..... think shadowbox.
