Tried the .096" tport today and it was still to slow but did bring it up some. I opened it open .102" and gave that a try. Better but still low 500's. Opened it up to .115" and was getting close around 560. I then put the disco spring back in and it jumped to 770, not good. So I put the first tport .136" back in and the 22xx spring. No preload on the spring and it was mid 400's. 4 turns in on the RVA and bang 610. Just what I was looking for with 14.3gr pellets. Made a few shots with those pellets then switched over to JSB RS 13.43 pellets. I adjusted the preload back to 2-1/2 turns in and started shooting. I put a CP red dot on it to test with, shooting at 10yds I could not even see the little bullseyes without any magnification. It got around 30 good shots from a 2000psi fill. Accuracy is a little off but I'm shooting without any grips.

Picked up some walnut to make a stock for it.

Are you SURE you can manage to squeeze that pistol into that tiny piece of walnut?

Looking good!

I thought he was going to install a remote trigger, and just put the muzzle against the target.

I ordered a new spring for it. I ordered a spring for a 1377, it's a 6.5lbs spring. i learned that the disco is 8.5 and the 22xx is 4.5. My Cold blueing came in and I tested it on a leftover piece of tubing. I sanded it in four areas. I used 320, 600. 1000 grit dry. Then I used 1000 and oil for the last area. The 1000 grit dry produced the best finish to me. Taking a picture of it is hard to do put here's one.

Ricky,

Are you talking trigger sear spring or hammer spring?

hammer spring

sixshootertexan · « **Reply #32 on:** March 07, 2014, 09:35:33 PM »

Did some stock work today. Inlet the air tube and trigger assemble and cut the trigger hole.

Monkeydad1969 · « **Reply #33 on:** March 08, 2014, 12:54:11 AM »

Very nice...you can make me a stock too...while you're at it.

sixshootertexan · « **Reply #34 on:** March 08, 2014, 01:59:49 PM »

Rough sawed.

sixshootertexan · « **Reply #35 on:** March 08, 2014, 07:07:26 PM »

Well this is where I stopped working on it today. I'm not totally happy with it yet. My do some more shaping to it later.

Frank in Fairfield · « **Reply #36 on:** March 08, 2014, 08:47:41 PM »

Looks good Ricky.
I think I saw someone who took a PCP rifle, just hacked off about 12 inches of rifle barrel/shroud/baffles, put on a new stock (handgun type) and voila....a handgun.
Sorta like a sawed off shotgun.
Or the rifle/handgun Steve McQueen used in Wanted Dead or Alive..
I think it was a AA s510 that was chopped up for HFT.
Worked well, too.
You do good work but.....

sixshootertexan · « **Reply #37 on:** March 09, 2014, 04:45:13 PM »

Well I decided the stock is not what I want. I got the trigger pull length wrong and I need to move the entire grip back 3/4". This will allow me to do the detail I wanted on the rear of the stock under the airtube. Since I'm not going to use this stock as my main one I didn't get crazy with trying to sand it to a high quality finish. It still has some small blemishes but was sanded down with 400 grit. Going with the cheapest but not necessarily worst finish, I'll be using Tru-Oil.

I'll get more pics later.

Very nice. How does it shoot?
