What airgun related idea did you cook up today?

[Back_Roads]

I've thought to make a stubby 13xx gun, just not sure this would work... Or would be safe... Basically get rid of the pump assembly, cut the pump tube down so the valve cone is exposed or have easy access to. Drill & tap the valve end/cone to fit a quick fill fitting, fill via hand pump (1100-ish psi). Chop barrel to desired length, add barrel band, steel breech and sights...

     

Should be ok to 2000 no think maximus ...

This isn't a new idea. Been doing this several years. Mounting Pistol scopes on springer air rifles scout style. I use barrel accessory mounts. One or three picatinny 5 slot rails on the barrel slid back to the  barrel block. An off-set one piece scope mount, some see-thru if I want to be able to use the open sights. Because of the length of an air rifle receiver pistol scopes like BSA 2-7x28 edge pistol scopes work better than scout scopes because they have longer eye relief. I have them on break barrel, under lever and side lever guns.

I did this first with my Beeman RS2 dual cal. so I wouldn't have to re-zero when I changed barrels. Later with old guns like some of my old Chinese guns or my BSF c60 because they didn't have scope rails or 11mm scope grooves I mounted pistol scopes on the barrel. They work good.

Every time I've thought of that 13XX stubby, this comes to mind...

Will do. It'll probably be bit before complete.

Have to find out if drilling & tapping the nose cone of the valve directly for a fill nipple is going to be an issue or if I need to come up with something different... Everything else seems straight forward.

LOL, sorry I don't know anything about that. That's why I watch guys like you.

 With the weather being what it is, my shooting has been in the Man Cave. I'm growing weary of group shooting. So I'm working on a backstop/ trap to put my
 spinners in. Need to do a hardware run for some short drywall screws. I have everything else setting together waiting for assembly. I did this shooting last
 winter while healing up from shoulder replacement but I thought I could come up with something better.

I hear ya, loud and strong. It's only been 8 days since I shot outdoors and winter has a long ways to go. I'm thinking of what to put on the floor in front to catch bouncebacks from the Rockin' Rat. Spinners can move in more than one axis when hit at an angle, so that seems riskier to me.

For the low-powered shooting I do inside, multiple layers of corrugated cardboard (6 or 7) lining the inside back of a large box suffice in that direction.

I did this with the .25 hatsan 95 I got from christmas closeout blowout with a cp 2x pistol scope and offset mount.

 I put the Baker Airgun Scope Mount back on the Crosman 392PA,
    put the Optima 3-12x50AO back on,
      and I put new elastic strings on the scope covers

  and, ended up with the Bushnell red dot on the 2240 carbine.

 Just sighted them both in.

Thinking about tearing the .20 cal "2060" build apart, increasing the CO2 flow by boring out the transfer port and converting it to"Bulk Fill".

 Airgunaut, Finished the spinner/pellet trap yesterday early in the morning. Gave it a couple shots then checked the floor in front of it for spatter. Not bad, then set a sheet of paper & a couple pieces of batting from an old seat cushion down in front of the container to see how much spatter comes out of the containment.
This seems to keep most of the debris in as most spatter from pellets go straight down. So did a bit of plinkin' a bit ago, it's just to dang cold for outdoor shooting !

  How about a 1377/22 XL and a C362XL.
Ditch the 1377 tube diameter, and use the same diameter airtube as a 2240.. that would create abit more air with each pump.. but how you or I would build such a thing idk.,Crosman would have to make new airtubes and pistons seals and such to build such a thing.
Just a thought

Bob Sterne has probably already done it.

Yes, I think it was him, or something like an explanation as to why it’s not feasible 🤔

Makes me remember about the ill-fated Millennium Pumper:

…and the Webley Paradigm.

I was truly dead set on getting one when I first saw it…Too bad they never made it to the market 

[ER00z]

Been thinking of a pumper for possible ghog duty. I've been using the S510 and have other ag's that are capable, but I've been on a pumper kick lately. I have two Benji 392's, probably capable... But I need an excuse to get a C362 and hot rod it a little 

Read something about hogging out the valve some with a 25/64 bit, have some ice maker tubing already and go 11/64 with the barrel port and valve exhaust... Might try hogging out a 760 valve first to see how it goes.

Still have a project or two to wrap up first.

Thanks... the Rocker 1 moderator is so effective, it is hard to tell how truly powerful it is without running it across my chrony!
The barrel is a modified NOS Sterling .20 and its T.P. passage is the limiting factor for all the "Go-fast" goodies it has.
I am going to have to wait for warm weather to actually test any improvements.
