blue one is a LW .177 flat top piston/valve. 2 stage adjustable sear and lots of bling. the purple one .22 flat top piston/valve. 2 stage adjustable sear. lpa mim sight . both had the frames and compression tubes polished and de-burred. the grips on the 1377 and 1322 from rb
my nephew did the powder coating on the frames and tubes. the carving on the purple one are my first carvings, oak leaves and acorns....then a 1740LW barreled and my sons 2540. grips and stock by me-both have the p-rod trigger group/challanger hammer/striker set up.

thanks for the nice words. when i see all the cool ideas everyone has for these platforms it amazes me. lets us tinkerers have a bit of fun and get something out of it. when i started years ago my wife said she didn't understand..i told her she had a choice ...i could fiddle with airguns or become a heroin shootin alcoholic that frequented thai massage parlors. i still have my airguns...lol--and i still don't drink or shoot heroin.

keep up the good work.

i haven't posted the bloodwood 2540 i made for my son yet- to my websight.  i posted it here , on the airgun gate.  wow that thing shoots good and packs a bit of a waloop..only 15 shots  a cartridge at the moment. it was alittle more consistant when i had it set at 22 shots cart. but was alittle slower-still impressive though. the woods are bloodwood, purpleheart and nara wood. the inlays are .999 fine silver wire, paua abolone and figured mother of pearl.  the .177 and .22 barrels will be here any day with a breech for them. then it will be a 3 caliber rifle.

Was looking at one of your pistols on sight that has the most Narly grips I have ever seen! Looks like a Big Burl knot, just about encased your whole hand! Cool and Beautiful at the same time! You are an Artist, my Friend!....John

How did he get the sideplate purple? They look good when they match.

How did he get the sideplate purple? They look good when they match.

the side plates used to be the same metal as the frame. it was powder coated.  this is about 5-6 years old. it was my first build. at the time i built it crosman wasn't  making a 1322, so i made this one, even my first barrel cut and crown on her, as well as the victim of my first carving. lol. the blue .177 is all powder coated also - i just felt that with the grips the color they are , that black for the frame would be best. all casting marks sanded and the frames/tubes polished.

thanks for your intrest

I would not have gone with all the tactical gear with such a fancy stock. To me it clashes. I would have gone with a cleaner look, maybe a nice glossy finish on the metal with no lasers, flashlights, bipod, or dot scope. I would have gone with a nice Leupold rifle scope or something similar.

Granted, I am not a fan of carved stocks. Just does not float my boat. I prefer wood figure as opposed to anything carved. Now knife handles is where I like fancy carvings, but I do not collect knives. I would if I could afford to. Just my thoughts and I hope you accept this as a constructive criticism.

I can see what you're saying George. If the stock was flat black it would be more tacticool looking. I agree that I might not have put all the tactical stuff on it, MIGHT not have. I think it is a gorgeous gun.

It is indeed a beautiful gun.

You could paint that thing with cheap pink house paint and a roller... and it would still invite me to carry it.

Well done.

i gladly take the good with the bad, however i think you're missing something. the laser, red dot, flashlight, and bipod all come off. there are also flip up irons sites that can go on it. i just got 2 more barrels yesterday, and a scope. my idea was to fuse the organic to the tactical.  i made this for my son so he'll have something to remember me by. and to show some of the things possible that i do through my site.  he'll have it in the philippines where he can hunt with it. thank you for your thoughts.

I do like the modularity of the Crosman 22XX and 13XX. You are indeed an artist and it is always refreshing to see a work of art, whether it appeals to you or not. I have an old gun that my father owned and it is a priceless heirloom to me, regardless of the fact that it is a fairly ordinary firearm. Yours are far from ordinary and I am sure your son will treasure it always.
