Prod $230.62

Randall,
Nice-looking Prod, it's all decked out too with the best aftermarket parts too.
Who makes the scope are you using on it?  I see its a FFP 5x2, it's a short and sweet looking scope!
Thanks Randy

Randy, thank you very much! Been wanting one for some time now and the wife got it for me on Black Friday so getting all the aftermarket parts was a joy! It’s still stock tuned as it’s perfect for my needs. The scope I got from eBay. It is a Sniper 1-5x24 FFP with IR. It does not have parallax adjustability but doesn’t need it. It is light and very compact. From the seller you can make an offer, they were asking 120 I offered 110 and it IMMEDIATELY agreed...so I think you could offer 90-100 and see! Very nice glass well worth it’s cost. Came with flip covers and I luv the reticle with center dot which is the only thing illuminated red or green with different intensities. Also resettable re- zero.

Randall,
Thanks for the info on the scope, it looks like a great scope & it's lite-weight wouldn't make the Prod feel super scope heavy!
I saved it for future scope purchases..Thanks Randy

I have just ordered a stainless Don Cothran 16" no-gauge-hole tube for my BF PROD 

Also a 16" LW .22 threaded barrel with a larger than OEM O.D.

Mine is w/o a shroud.

My PROD is still unfired 

I will send out the breech for plating when I receive the aforesaid new additions.

My PROD will be in silver eventually as I have always wanted 

I plan to send it for a tune and have it regulated.

Richard,
That I'll be on sexy BF Prod and one heck of a shooter. Do you know if Don is making the Cothran Valve for the Prods?

I have no idea, sir!

I did talk to him this morning before I ordered and paid for the PROD tube.

He said to just choose the stainless 2260 PCP tube ($76 shipped), it being almost the same specs as the PROD's, and he will just make me one that will fit the PROD.

I specifically ordered a 16" (not a 16 and 5/8 like the 2260).

He was so busy a few weeks ago, as he had to repair/maintain 3 of his machines.

Currently, he is doing a custom breech and some motorcycle parts for some guys but he will be working on my PROD tube next week.

He seldom texts back but he answers his phone and likes to talk 

I kinda find it hard to understand his drawl most of the time, me not really very much attuned to the American way of speaking yet 

Give him a call, Screwwork sir!

If anyone happened to order this and got in trouble with their significant other, I would be willing to help you out of that jam.

I changed my PROD tube to that of a 1700/1701P:







It looks better and is more balanced now even as a pistol 

Thanks to Mr. MileHighAirgunner for the heads up re the compatibility of the 2 tubes 

The gauge hole is different though but the PROD/1720T breech is a direct attachment.

I did bypass the gauge 

Hmm, the 6" TKO looks too long, so I may replace it with a Hugget Mini Belita.

In case you are wondering, my barrel De-Resonator is this piece, lol:

It hides the ugly flat section of the barrel where the shroud mount is positioned 


The TKO sleeve is this one:

I will have the tube powder-coated in textured black because it is so easily scuffed/scratched 

It is the only unsavory part of the gun, lol!

[FuzzyGrub]

Looks good, Rick      

My pcp pistols are all based on the 1701 tube.     

Yes, outside of the gauge location, which is closer to the valve, the 1701 tube is just a shorter version of the 1720T/Prod tube.   I think the gauge is in the same location as a disco/max/fortitude, which would allow for some boyd's stock option.  I have considered a Baracuda or Evolution, but have yet to execute. 

[Hangtown-Shooter]

I was thinking... wow, how did this thread get to 18 pages long and all the Prods sold out in one day?!?!?

Then I realized this thread is a year old! 🤣

[Acapulco]

Yeah...I don't know why people do this.

Yes, Mr. John!

I took a note of what you said previously re the DISCO and the 1700/1701P gauge location similarity.

Speaking of Boyd's, a Barracuda stock in Sky Blue laminate for the DISCO is in my cart right now, lol!

Can't fully decide on the color yet but I will buy one today, no excuses 

The Sky Blue laminate is about $15 to 17 more expensive than their Camo, Grey, and Nutmeg but they have an ongoing sale right now which negates the additional cost.

I wish they had free shipping too, lol!

Oh, I did order an aluminum DISCO trigger assembly from Magnum Air Power.

I should have it next week, I hope 

[Rick67]

Yeah...I don't know why people do this.

Well, it's a fun thread and the PROD is a classic worth speaking of from time to time 

I would rather revive a thread than make one of the same content 

If you would notice, there are nonsensical and repetitive threads floating around

This thread is a year old, if you have not noticed

I posted my new iteration here because I bought this pistol in parts from a gent who decided to upgrade his BF PROD into a bottle gun, so, essentially, mine is a BF PROD too 

Funny thing but Crosman does have ample inventory of the supposedly unavailable airguns.

I think Mr. Mbulk/Charlie also said the same thing about the SAMRODS; them reaching a number of about a hundred or so units but appearing as not in stock.

A lady told me last Monday they had 36 pieces of 1701P pistols but she had no idea where they are headed for.

I was on the phone with her to order some parts.

I could have ordered one but I told her I want it free shipping with a 25% discount like on a Friday, lol!

She apologized that she could not do that but she was surprised they had that kind of deal, lol!

Probably a new employee

Ok, you all fooled me! I was just about to click on the link. Thank God, I didnt get into an argument with the wifey for more BB guns money before reading page 18 first!

[SwampHunter]

If any of you that are customizing have any parts you would part with  I have a p-rod that I would like to "un bottle" and could use a tube and a shroud as mine is stripped. If so kindly pm me so we can discuss it, thank you!

I'll be waiting for the pictures. 

[Rick67]

I will, Senor John 

I did order it, the Sky Blue laminate, along with a no-finger groove AR grip of the same color.

The grip will be for one of my BLUEFORK Crosman grips.

I will order a Forest Camo Green, too, if I like the fit and finish 

The Barracuda stock would fit my PROD but it is for  another  DC build 

My aluminum Magnum Air Power DISCO trigger assembly with a stainless trigger was shipped out today.

I will test-mount it on my PROD and see if it functions but I do not see any reason why it should not.

OT: I got a 2260 wooden stock from Crosman yesterday and the color is so dark, it is almost black.

I might paint with Duplicolor Sandstorm after sanding it, although the finish on mine is almost perfect with very minimal shallow dings (I saw only 3), which can be easily remedied with a bit of elbow grease.

I ordered this paint:



Moreover, I see the reason why people complain about the grip--it is so square and fat, it needs reshaping.

Ciao!

I did notice it ... but not until after I'd made my post. *Shrugs*
