Thanks again Frank.. I insist you let me at least pay the shipping.

Nah, that’s ok. It’s not like I’m shipping a rifle.

Well, if you need anything just give a yell.

Well, tracking showed the new tp estimated delivery was to be Friday (today). Betty Lou wasn't feeling well and never made it to the mailbox yesterday. Apparently it arrived a day early and it's out in the mailbox now..... lol
Anyhow, it's here and we'll get it in the gun and continue testing tomorrow.

I'm thinking I might put a ring of hot glue on the back of the valve to act as a buffer. Once on I can adjust the thickness.

Ended up with a few extra minutes this morning. Tore the gun down and installed the newest TP from Frank.
At this point I could probably do it in my sleep....

Is it my imagination or is there a tall step and a low step? If so, does the low step go up? I can't remember the orientation, if there is one, from original.
Either way, I put, what appeared to me, the low step up. Musta done it right because I can't detect any leaking.

I also decided to do all further string testing with a tin of Crosman .177 10.5 Piranhas. None of my guns like these pellets and 10.5 is most likely the weight of the pellets I will be using in this gun.... Ultra mags or H&N Hunters.
So, why waste the good ones on testing?

I built the TP with a tapered hole. Big hole goes down towards the valve, little hole to the barrel. The step I think you’re referring to was to remember it’s orientation, which I already forgot. I think little step is down. Don’t worry it won’t leak. It’s OAL is within spec.

avator · « **Reply #106 on:** February 12, 2021, 06:14:37 PM »

lol... I didn't even notice the taper.
I'll pull it back apart and check... like I said, I can do it in my sleep now.

Story of my life...
If there is a 50/50 chance of getting something right or wrong I'll get it wrong every time.
I had the TP in upside down....

Flipped it and put the gun back together.
I gotta say, as many times as I've had this thing apart and back together, I'm simply amazed it ain't leaking.

I got it gassed up and sitting. Gotta make a store run so I'll double check for leaks and get the stuff out for testing when we get back.

avator · « **Reply #108 on:** February 13, 2021, 11:47:05 AM »

Dang, it's damp and chilly out here.....

Got back from the store and the gun appears to be holding air well.
Loaded up 2 mags of 10.5 Piranhas and gave it a go.

avator · « **Reply #109 on:** February 13, 2021, 11:53:24 AM »

Looks like we flattened that bell out pretty good.
I'm good with 2 mags per fill and an average of about 10 fpe.
Pretty awesome 25yd. camp gun.
10 fpe with a 10.49 H&N Hunter pellet at 25yds. Should keep the zombie sqwizzels at bay.

avator · « **Reply #110 on:** February 13, 2021, 11:55:53 AM »

Speaking of H&N Hunters...
Lemme warm my fingers up a bit and we'll load a couple mags and sight it back in.

I don’t have many nice things to say about these pistols but the first time I took one apart, I admired the transfer port. It’s a beefy TP with large orings and large nice fitting breech block. After working on many Crosmans where everything is tiny, TP swaps were easy on the SPA’s.

avator · « **Reply #112 on:** February 13, 2021, 03:29:39 PM »

I wouldn't have even ventured into this if I hadn't kinda fallen into these two pistols. There wasn't anything special about the CP1 or CP2 that impressed me enough to pay full price for them. I got the CP1 in a deal and Mike sent the CP2 kit to Betty Lou as a gift.
I really like what came out if them. Also looking forward to shooting it in it's pistol form with the holographic red dot.
I totally appreciate your contributions and guidance.

avator · « **Reply #113 on:** February 13, 2021, 03:31:49 PM »

Next time I tear it down I'm going to put all new fresh orings in it just for gits n shiggles.

The little carbine will get it's first outing for it's intended purpose today.
We're loading up the RV and ATVs and headed to the trails for the weekend.
Got my 30 min scba tank topped off and the kit ready to go.
I got a gallon zipper bag full of green paintballs and a couple bags of army men for targets.
A month or so when we were there I gave the owner's 6 year old grandson (Carter) a classic metal/metal 880.
Maybe Carter and I can hook up for some plinking fun.

Enjoy the weekend. Hope the gun meets your goals.

avator · « **Reply #116 on:** March 06, 2021, 09:43:02 AM »

Thanks Frank... I'm sure it will.
I really want to thank you for the interest and contributions.

Oh, and Don... I didn't mean to ignore your generous offer on the delrin hammer. I appreciate it.
I think we are good where we are.

I hope readers get inspired and do some of this simple stuff of their own.... and share it with us... that's kinda why we're here...

crazyhorse1 · « **Reply #117 on:** March 06, 2021, 12:06:38 PM »

I have a CP1...never even shot a mag thru it...just used single shot tray....but it is the stepchild in my collection.

avator · « **Reply #118 on:** March 09, 2021, 07:41:02 AM »

Update..
There were just too many people at the ATV park for me to feel comfortable busting out a gun and start shooting.

avator · « **Reply #119 on:** August 12, 2021, 01:59:52 PM »

Bumping..
A new camo shirt and pants coming Saturday..
