What airgun related did you do today?

Best upgrade I've done to the 2100/2200 series, in my opinion, was to add wood stocks. The metal receiver guns deserve wood. There was a member (EGilman) making and selling them some time back. You could get them in a couple different wood species finished or unfinished. You could also send him your gun for custom fit and finish. I'm not sure if he's still around.
Here is one of mine in mesquite burl. I have a couple in walnut as well.

 I tried contacting EGilman in the last year, no response.

Yep, those 3 guns are probably among the last of my guns to ever go away.
Ain't no way anyone would pay what it would take to loosen them from my grip.
I need to get them out and shoot them some.

 Wow, that's beautiful! 

Definitely something to consider. I plan to fill the plastic buttstock with expanding foam to get rid of the plastic "tink" sound. Never going to shoot bb's through this one anyhow.

You’re going to want one of Ron’s O-ring modified bolt probes and a Legacy 1000 piston.  I’m getting better than 730 FPS out of twelve pumps with CPHP after those mods.

This is the 2200 with a wood stock.

They are under rated guns. I bought 2 of them when Crosman was blowing them out at $69 each. I think I paid $35 a set for the unfinished walnut stock sets w/butt plates.
That mesquite set came already on a used gun I picked up. It was a .22 2200 Magnum.

 That's wicked! 👍

 I was on the horn with Crosman this morning to order the piston and a couple of extra sears, but their system was down.
Wish I had kept my old 2200, had it before I was really interested in Crosman.

 Bet I'm not going to find nice wood for $35 these days. You've got some beautiful rifles there.
I'm probably late to the party for having a great-looking 2100.

Maybe place a WTB in the classified and see if anything comes up.

Looks great 👍

Kinda similar to Pbrawler’s builds:

I dunno what happened to him; haven’t seen him here lately 🤔

I think the laminate TH stock is a Boyd’s:

He made a thread about it a few years ago.

Looks very nice 👍

I fed the belts/drums.

That’s got to take a while!

 I was trying to work on my 2100B, but my free time is being consumed by a contractor who won't do what he promises.. lol, oh well there's always tomorrow.

Maybe nonchalantly let him get a peek at your "arsenal" it might just spark a fire under his butt.

 Yup, you know how tempting that is  . 🔫

LOL! I once sat and cleaned my pistols on the kitchen table when I thought a plumber was taking way too long on a simple dishwasher repair.  He got the picture.  That night the repair leaked.  I called the company pretty steamed and first thing the next morning the owner of the company showed up and did the repair personally.

 Hahaha, well my 870 could always use some maintenance...

I'm pretty sure that I'll meander down to the Carlisle Pa airgun show which is happening on Saturday.   I've never been to an airgun show before.   Anyone know if it's OK to bring some AGs, as an attendee, to try and sell?
