Very nice indeed

Now that's quite the artillery piece! Very nice indeed! That qualifies as 'tacticool'!

It's a Silver Kodiak X2 breech swapped in.

Maybe I should name it TactiKody?

Now I need a chrony to get some figures.

This Gun is nothing more then the platform many of us know and like alot.
My thread on the Beeman Silver Kodiak rebuild has all the information one needs to take it down.
The stock covers some screws you need to remove just to get to the power plant.
2 screws in the hand grip, slide it off and remove the hidden screw.
Remove the 2 screws near the breech.
Remove the sorry excuse for a rail on top and there's a screw there also.
Then pull the top plastic cover back to get it all apart.
You now have the power plant which is nothing more then the Beeman Sportster series stuff.
Breech swap was a straight exchange. Trigger is the infamous 'Mystery trigger'.
Mine has the rear spring removed for a lighter pull. I suspect previous owner did that.
Recoil is surprisingly light compared to a Silver Kodiak. Maybe the heavy stock is the reason?
I had no dieseling as the Gun was bought used and had already been fired some.
This is now a dual cal gun but I may buy a black model dual cal and switch again.
It does look neat with the Silver stuff though.

so sweet!!! Excited to see how this project turns out!

TactiKody with the Bi-pods and CP 3x9x40 AO scope

The rail mount is a bad point. I have Weaver rings but they don't fit properly and will take some work to get it set properly.
At 20 yards I shot at a Pepsi can. I did not zero but used the mil dots to pull on target as the scope is whacked due to the rail issue.
Over all? I'm saying this is a sweet mod to get the .22 and still have the .177 should you want it.
Recoil is not what one would expect if you have fired a Beeman X2 version before. Very forgiving and the Bi-pods are not bad at all!
Kind of loose so you need to lean forwards then lean back to get rid of the slack in them.
I fired with one hand under the grip to raise it on target and a fairly light pull into my shoulder.
I hit the can every time after the first shot. 1" or so between hits.
Not bad with a crooked scope.

And you saw it here at GTA first!!!

Ya. I'm kind of proud of this.

FrozenVapors · « **Reply #8 on:** August 07, 2014, 08:32:51 PM »

Impressive work! So excited for my side mount bipods, I put my old barrel bipod on haha!

UCChris · « **Reply #9 on:** August 07, 2014, 08:36:26 PM »

I'm liking all the "tactical" break barrel projects going on right now! I'm starting mine as soon as the delivery man shows up with it!

I LOVE this Gun!!
The neighbor came over and I had him fire a few of my AG's as we talked about neighbor stuff.
I told him "I need to test for 75 yards on a beer bottle."
3rd shot? I took one out!!
Clean kill that sent me out of my chair!!!

The Black Op in .177 or .22 is a great little Gun and the Bi-pods work perfectly!!

Is it heavy? Yes. You don't want to tote this around for long.
Is it accurate? Less then 30 shots once converted to .22 and I take a beer bottle at 75 yards? I'd say yes!!

That is truly awesome! Didn't have as good of luck myself today. Had trouble hittle a beer can at 40 yards. I may have damaged my rifle :/

This platform has always been a keeper in my eyes.
The heavy frame works very well with the shakey Bi-pods.
The recoil is light compared to other Guns I have and cocking is real easy also.
Noise is not bad and I was a bit surprised at how quite it actually is!
Even my neighbor only heard the impacts of the rounds. And he was only 15 or so yards away watching me shoot!

Gah! What did you do!

You need the brass washers as a start.
At 17 FPE? George's NVD hit beer bottles at 75 yards with Gamo 15.43 Wad cutters!

Idk

I tightened my scope before I went out. Been using the same pellets. Idk what I did unless it was from oiling the gun? It's not the scope. I'm shooting same spot each time, and it flying left right and up, like all the time. Freaking out! What did I do!?

You're talking the trigger washer eh? I guess i'll tear the gun down again lol

Just the breach hinge :/

Privateer · « **Reply #19 on:** August 07, 2014, 11:08:41 PM »

Nope. Two washers on the breech where it pivots. Stock are plastic and those cause most of the issues I'm told.
