Been getting some tinker time in the basement. Devised a shroud for my KT 1322 with 14" LW barrel, also added a weaver rail to the bottom of the pump arm, and attached a folding foregrip, sure makes for steady off hand shooting

also nice to grip for pumping in either position.

Oh and I also added one of them #D 10 shot clips, sure makes it easy to go through pellets, I advise not to get one of these new improved versions, way too much fun

I replaced an O-ring on the end and loaded a CO2 cartridge into my Crosman Mark 1. As soon as I pierced the powerlet, the CO2 dumped instantly.

Looks like I got a top to bottom rebuild headed this way. Be interesting to see how gunked up everything inside is- the pistol looks like it has never been taken apart.

Peter,
Having never owned a Mark 1, I don't know if it is a fix for that model... but some CO2 guns you need to cock it before putting in a new cart to prevent what you described.
You may want to try that before tearing it down.

Good insight. IIRC, my father's 600 was similar, but it has been so long since I shot that I don't recall.

The Mark 1 requires loading the CO2 cart with the skinny part face-down- and sadly, I find I am out of cartridges- something that has never happened before!

I'm curious how similar the Mark 1 is to the 150 internally, since mine is the earlier model with variable power output per the cocking handle. I am a HUGE fan of the bolt action though.

I bet Steve (45flint) among others here would know.
Maybe shoot him a PM?

I built-up the front sight on one of my 1322s that was shooting way too high. I thought I had the hold-under all figured out, but I finally lost a squirrel because of it.

Anyway, it turns out that a 4-inch zip-tie is the exact same width as a 13XX front sight. I just cut a section of it and epoxied it on.

Super clean, Tom. Well done!

Thank you, I was trying my hardest not to whack it with the ugly stick.

Pumped up my Varmint and took some shots with 14.3 Crosman "pseudo-hollowpoint" domes. Meh, not bad, not great.

Still likes heavy pellets more.

Motorhead · « **Reply #2348 on:** January 02, 2020, 09:09:09 PM »

Have built all the parts and converted 3 m-rod valve bodies into Balanced valves in the last couple days. Worked more on the .25 cal side lever hybrid valved bottle converted marauder with an adjustable reg ... Project.

The tinkering just never ends !!

After watching several You Tube videos on Trail NP2 Trigger adjustments, I thought Id take the plunge. Came to find out the pull I had was pretty much where I like it. Never had to adjust before as I usually put a CDT trigger on soon after getting the AG (SS 1000 and Whisper). What I did learn was the feel for the "wall" and the pull needed for firing. Didn't really think about it before. Just getting back into AG's again and enjoying the sport all over again

Retuned my 25 caliber armada to shoot the hades pellets. Lower power now but 8 more shots. Still shooting at 850-860.

Worked on my pre-war rimfire restoration in order to clean off my work bench for an airgun project.
OK, I know it was a reach but in all honesty, that was my intent.
I want to start another 2240 build but this old Mossberg needs finished first.

Added a folding stock to my CS 1322

I forget where I bought the stock, but IIR it was for a different brand pistol, but could be modded for 13xx etc. It has been in my todo box for years LOL
I trying to find things to post on Pass It On Gate, so far a few items are in the running.

If you uncover the details on that folding stock James, please post...

That's a really neat stock.

I worked on the new stock I'm building for my QB I'm trying to get it back together. I just got new battery packs in for my good camera so I made some "tracer" pellets to hopefully make it easier to follow on scopecam.

Did some work on the .30 RS Mini-carbine so I can see the gauge better.
Then did some test fitting on the .50 Sniper.
16+ inches of Donny HUSH!
By the way. That's my back room so you may understand how I can trip over stuff!

So is it "indoor friendly" or just "backyard friendly"?

Pretty dang cool, Jeff.
