What grip frame is that, will it fit a 2240, where did you get it, and how much was it?

stalwart · « **Reply #203 on:** April 10, 2014, 01:47:27 PM »

It's a long discontinued aftermarket paintball part. I got a handful a long time ago, 1 of which is part of a 2240 project that now has very little Crosman left in it. They weren't cheap back in the day... and my little pile is worth even more to me. They fit me like they were cut to.

It seems I'm not the only one who likes the idea of 3K. I got the thumbs up (for safety), and sold 2 so far. Looks like a busy summer ahead... No more bon-bons and Oprah for me.

Bummer. Looks like it would fit my hand too.

Sweet! Thanks. Can the innards from a 2240 be used?

I've been pondering adjustable strikers and blocks for a while now, and there are a few ways to do it... all easy as 1-offs, but expensive and cumbersome to either make or adjust (or both) for limited production. I think I've been barking up the wrong tree...

I have some materials coming... and I'm going to try an adjustable length valve stem. Can anyone think of a down side? Please?

See this for some inspiration

Nice work, Scott.

I've been wanting a bullpup for a while. The ergonomics play well to my situation, I spend a lot of time seated.

The 60s are just begging for that attention, being compact already... I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of the diverse group that have been hooked by these. I can smell them cooking, already...

After shooting my new FD-PCP some last night .... DANG what a difficult single pellet loading issue with a scope on top.
Magazine mod here we come !!!

I know which gun I will be shooting the most.

After having an MRod for about a week and putting a few pellets through it I fell in love with the magazine. Now I will have the best of both worlds with my 60C repeater. It fits my style perfectly. I don't care how fast the pellet travels or how hard it hits. I don't want to mess with pumping or if I got the pressure right. I just drop in my carts and shoot. I don't need cold weather performance because I don't shoot when its cold anyway. All I care about is ease of loading and shooting and how accurately it hits the target. The rest of that voodoo I leave to you witch doctors to figure out lol.

Just send me some good mojo and I am happy!

I have a hard time inserting single pellets with open sights, especially the small ones. That's a major buzz-kill with any and all scoped single-shot rifles, and that's why following this thread has become a compulsion. While I'm waiting for this FD PCP repeater to solidify, I'm thinking that a "pellet pen" might make the waiting easier.

avator · « **Reply #218 on:** April 13, 2014, 01:54:05 PM »

We got used to it. Not so bad. We put the pellet in on one side of the scope while looking from the other side. No disrespect intended towards the repeater project, I am totally impressed by the work done here. But, putting pellets in one at a time kind of adds enjoyment to our shooting. We chat between shots. You know, high fives n junk. And it slows the process a bit. I would much rather be putting a pellet in than refilling the gun with air every 5 minutes. On the other hand, if I used this as a full time hunter, the repeater option may be a must have.

Yarp · « **Reply #219 on:** April 13, 2014, 02:14:08 PM »

That was a good take on having a pleasant shoot with friends.......should probably do that more often.

Excitement over an FD PCP isn't inspired by a rush to spew out lead. It results from my bumble-fingered difficulty with inserting smaller pellets into an airgun breach.....gets my goat every time I shoot.
