Brown truck dropped off my FDPCP in .22 last Monday. I just ordered another one in .177.
Anybody have a good 12-step program for this addiction where step 4 isn't buy another in .25?
Or maybe convert to .20......

It's a three-step program, and then you're done.
.177
.22
.25

Only 12 step program that I know of for airgun addictions is... Take 12 steps, turn and FIRE !!!

Big brown truck dropped off my .177 FDPCP today.

Happy to report that Mike is 2 for 2 with both rifles arriving with the tubes still holding pressure.
I really do enjoy have less to worry about.
Now if only there was an air rifle friendly range around Des Moines.

Same deal.
A bright well-made .25 barrel arrived as well....looks a lot like stainless.

Are you sure the protocol isn't to pick up 12 PCPs?

LOL.... One more .177 barrel and I'm good with the PCPs. Got the Hawks shooting good. The Venom and Beeman are awesome. 1377s are right where we want them. 2 P17s are soon to be on the way to Stalwart. Maybe we'll look into some custom wood for the Crosman 2100s next. Maybe dump a couple of these ratty B2-1 off to somone that wants to shoot beer cans at 20 feet. I got 3 that do very well and 2 that aren't worth my time.

I'm stacked up as well
Of my three FDs, one still needs a serious sorting out and another "needs" a barrel swap.
The elite 10 hasn't been sighted in.
I'm a scope shy.
and ..Just got a chronograph, so its time to shoot lots of pellets through everything.
and...Doesn't that Heritage 2260 look good?
and....

You had to bring up the 2260. So far I've bought 2 FDPCPs to keep myself from buying a 2260 and from converting my 1377 to a 1760. But some furniture from woods and waters would really dress it up nice.

Anyone see a pattern here? I'm thinking it's not just FD-PCP. It's just all out addiction. period
Hi, my name is Bill and my barrel has been clean for 1 day.

Keep up the fight.
Of course, if you lose you'll be much happier.

grumble grumble just ordered the parts that go between breach and grip frame to change my 1377 to a 1760. Should work nice with the 24" disco barrel (which incidentally is a 1760 part number)

Dang you crosman and your reasonable parts prices and $4 shipping!!!

Should change this thread to another addiction thread and move it to the airgun gate.

So what you guys are saying is I need to get a .25 barrel and the set will be complete?

Not even close. You see, every time you buy anything AG related, you further the darkness you fall into. Then the only light you have is the warm, sweet glow from your AG's. There is no light at the end of this tunnel. You are lost in your own personal darkness. This is the cause of the addiction. You only feel better when you buy, acquire, beg-steal-& cheat your way to more, and more, and more.

Now do you understand? There is no cure. So buy the .25 barrel, get more pellets, scope everything, tune it all --- FEED THE NEED! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What other modifications needed to operate the FD PCP with the .25 barrel?

mikeiniowa · « **Reply #15 on:** April 28, 2014, 06:49:44 PM »

.25 can be dropped in with no mods...but...opening the inlet end of the valve doesn't hurt...

Yarp · « **Reply #16 on:** April 28, 2014, 07:31:31 PM »

I'm about to "drop" my .25 barrel in FD PCP no 3.
Has anyone posted instructions (pictures? tool/instrument requirements?) for opening the inlet end of the valve?

Lol! I'm waiting on a barrel and parts from Crosman, FT valve and a couple breech screws from AC customs, more pellets order shipped from Pyramydair....,, and been shopping brakes at HPA and Ebay for months! Wanted stainless safety and trigger shoe from Cotherman but waiting to hear back from him still.
I cannot stop thinking about airguns daily and Im shooting targets every morning and afternoon.
I'm seriously getting concerned. I need diversions from this diversion.
Time to brew some beer or something instead.

just enlarge the center hole in the end of the alu. part of the body, start just a bit bigger than the one there, can also taper the step out with a big bit...just make it easier for the air to flow into the valve body..
