Fired my Yong Hung up today for the first time. Filled my disco up in less than a minute. Had to de-gas it because the bolt hung up and I bent the stock bolt handle due to the breech screw wasn't down far enough and was catching the bolt. I put the home made bolt handle I have on it which is stronger and works well. After that I re sighted it in for the open sights, then mounted the scope on it. Ran through two more fill ups then put it away. Setting everything up takes a minute, but not as long as pumping that tube up 3 times with my hand pump LOL.

Welcome to air superiority Cole.

Yeah Bill, I am sure I will enjoy the PCP's more now. I still like my break barrels/ pumpers too though.

Options are good.

Don't you love how air is free until you start compressing it?

Well, I ordered a 1077W from Crosman site last Wednesday afternoon, then went to amazon and ordered the Winchester 4x32AO scope for it. Good scope for low to mid-power air rifles, since the objective can be focused down to 15ft! Picked up a couple sets of Weaver classic 1" mid-rise dovetail rings for some 7 bucks each at Walmart yesterday. Transaction complete on the rifle overnight, after waiting since Wednesday. So much for Monday delivery, darn it. I've been itching to get my hands on one of these Ruger 1022 copies. Same box clip/rotary magazine combo as well in .177. Wood stock is purty with the blued steel. I also spent the last 2-3 days explaining to some newbie's about how to read an exploded diagram when they got stuck reassembling their air rifles after tuning/repairs. I always mention to them to remember their high school blueprint reading from industrial arts.

Looks fun, I didn't know crosman still made these.

Be warned though, the grip of the stock looks pretty similar to that of the 2260 stock and they're horribly fat and blocky.
I doubt even Paul white would find this grip comfortable.
You seem to have some decent skill refinishing wood though so I'm sure you'll have it looking nice if you do reshape it.

Looks to me like it might just be a bit too wide in the grip cross-section? If & when I ever get it, we'll see. I think that stain my daughter used on the kitchen table is about the right shade too?

I think both are fine and comfortable enough. But I don't have small hands. I don't have a 1077W anymore because I use the stock for my Benjamin Wildfire W.

I still may need a few more coats of BLO, but I'm essentially done with the work on that 13xx stock.

This didn't turn out perfect but I it doesn't look too bad and is functional.

pics to upload

This is what that stock looked like when Andy sent it to me.

I think it looks pretty good but I think I would have fit a butt pad on it, (now that I have done it a couple of times).

This is just a look I happen to like, iirc the earliest 760's were like this as we're a few other slab stock guns from crosman back in the day.
Maybe the V350 ?

I'm familiar with it, I just prefer smooth or a butt pad myself.

I prepped my U.K. Beeman Kodiak .25 for sale.

Mounted my new Discovery 6-24x44 scope on Maxine. Tonight going to give it a go at zeroing it in.

UlteriorModem · « **Reply #1554 on:** July 31, 2019, 09:44:40 PM »

Practiced some with the ASP20. Adjusted the trigger just a little. Around 48 rounds. Did fairly good.

Still working on the shoulder pressure thing but that's another thread.

Insanity · « **Reply #1555 on:** July 31, 2019, 10:19:22 PM »

Casted up a bunch of .22 23gn pellets tonight. Anyone who guesses the closets by August 14th I will send 150 from this batch. Send guess by PM so I can keep track of it.

Insanity · « **Reply #1556 on:** July 31, 2019, 10:38:54 PM »

.22 about 3/4" and when I send you that grip adapter I will send a few with it too.

BackStop · « **Reply #1557 on:** August 01, 2019, 01:19:37 AM »

Packed up my ATI Nova Freedom .22 and shipped it back to ATI because the pump was leaking. Otherwise, the gun was fine.

I asked them for first dibs on buying it back as a parts gun!

So far, ATI service has been great! I hope it continues. (smile)

took a couple piles of parts from my 1377 and 2240 and made a 760-pumper-barrelled CO2 tack-driver. The barrel is from a rifle-barreled 760 I drilled a TP and chamfered for a leade.

Shoots RWS Hobby WC pretty good. No scope, just sighting down the LDC and hitting the spinner on the fence 19 yards away every other shot.

My eBay PCP kit is still in progress... hammer doesn't contact the poppet assembly, so I'm waiting on some feedback from the retailer in China.

Rabbit\Squirrel Killer · « **Reply #1559 on:** August 01, 2019, 06:52:20 PM »

I shot my new to me Vintage Boone pistol. I think it's cool to reach back in history and shoot a old one.
