This is an impressive rifle! lol. i love it. there are some purist rocking back and forth while craddling their FWBs or Steyrs, and here we are, a bunch of overgrown kids praising a left over of our youth... priceless. I love this forum! so nice to know people can appreciate airgunning at all levels...

Did some shooting with the AM77 this afternoon. That thing is scary accurate at 10 yards. Don't mind the flyers and off shots on the target, I was sighting in a and shooting other guns. But the AM77, it was walking around those little shoot and see targets with direct hits no problem, cphp's. Benched of course, because the trigger isn't the best. (edit- should have added, this is with the little 4x 20 Crosman scope that came with it, fine enough crosshairs and holds zero.)

Thanks for developing this thread guys. I learned a lot from all your input. I took what a learned here, implemented a little of my own thinking, and would up with some excellent results. I was successful in picking up some average velocity as I finally broke the 7 fps mark. But more important in my mind, a lot of consistency from shot to shot was gained. You can compare the below with the information on page 1, but the blurb at the header of each photo sums it up.

Standard deviation dropped from 9.38 fps to 2.44 fps, velocity stayed the same.

Standard deviation dropped from 7.54 fps to 3.16 fps, average velocity increased by 5 fps.

Standard deviation dropped from 6.16 fps to 2.23 fps, average velocity increased by 21 fps.

Standard deviation dropped from 3 fps to 2 fps, average velocity increased by 2 fps.

Standard deviation dropped from 5.74 fps to 2.23 fps, average velocity increased by 2 fps.

Standard deviation dropped from 3.46 fps to 2.62 fps, average velocity increased by 10 fps.

And just for fun, here were a few extra I tested... check out the fpe on those Baracuda Matches & standard deviation on those Polymags...

So what did all this mean to accuracy? See the below groups of 5 at 30' to target...

For those considering breaking in, it's not that bad. Hare are some photographs of the guts.

... as you pry the lid off.

... as you pry the lid off, and slide the barrel shroud off.

... the relationship of the trigger parts and valve parts.

... bolt, breech, barrel.

... gutted.

... muzzle polished flat, and recrowned.

... rifling polished clean with JB Bore Paste.

Hey micro great info and pics! This will be very useful if I ever need to get into mine. Thanks again for posting this.

microsalmo · « **Reply #45 on:** July 10, 2012, 04:33:33 PM »

No problem Bigern.

Anyone else have similar results getting the consistancy so refined? I'm curious to know your results.

Thanks.

You guys are making me think I really need to get one of these someday if I can get a deal on one. Looks like they are impressively accurate if set up correctly.

lillysdad621 · « **Reply #47 on:** July 10, 2012, 11:22:05 PM »

a great deal??? like a 65 dollar rifle that allows that kind of consistency and is tuner friendly is not a great deal already... Haven't you noticed that there arent any 2100 for sale on the classifieds? Dude, go plunk your hard earned cash because for less than 70 bucks you get a rifle that kind mix it up with the best of the pump ups...

I get what you are saying. Just got a Sheridan Blue Streak. Need to play with that one for a while first. 2 sons in college, so my airgun budget is not quite what some on here seem to have.

I hear ya, I'm on a tight budget after college.

But it's ok, you'll get one because airguns are like potato chips -you can't stop with just one. Or five. And they're usually cheaper than powder burners.

bunk or not, the gunsmith at cobra's owns a 2100 that will propel 10.5 gr pellets at over 800 fps... i wish mine shot like that. he has used it for raccoon control...

That's impressive! On how many pumps?

AZAG · « **Reply #51 on:** July 11, 2012, 02:42:35 AM »

This is a great thread. I can't wait to mod my 2100. There are too many modding projects ahead of it.

lillysdad621 · « **Reply #52 on:** July 11, 2012, 11:17:42 AM »

The monster 2100 shoots those velocities on 14 pumps. It was given to him many years ago by his dad, and a raccoon problem (is there such thing??? lol) made him start to modify those and 1377 pistols. But the 2100 caught my eye as he seem to regard it more as a tool than a airgun... He would use it as a point of comparison in many airgun related talks. I did not believe it existed so one day he brought it into the shop. It even had a LDC for it since his raccoon problems were at night... Not very interested on how it would compare to other guns... All he cared about is how hard it would hit a raccoon. An obsession I tell you... We have gone on several hunts to farms I pest for... With guns that would make any airgunner proud (BSA Lonestar .25, 57FPE Marauder in .25, etc...) but while unloading, there it was... Dark green case shoved deep in the trunk... Just in case the Big Boys could not manage the job. He trusts that crosman more than anything in his gun safe.

As per finding a 2100 used... most of the times you can get them at shows for like 30 bucks, but most need resealing. Not a hard thing... but for 15 bucks a reseal kit, well, it puts you about 20 bucks less than a new one... But the oldies are sure purrrrty.... especially the 766, or the 2200...

Nice touch crosshairs.

Forgot to mention. Elongating the bolt tip was easy, and burries the pellet deep into the barrel. I believe this lended to accuracy.

lol, the bbz1 is a great lure here in FL in the clear lakes when the water is colder (winter). They hammer it if you swim it over shallow submerged vegitation as they warm in the afternoon sun.
