A couple toys

[911JB]

Holy Cow, It must be my lucky day. I might just have to drive to town and buy a lottery ticket today. After using Big Bore Bart's advice [Thanks BBB] with the oil I now have both 760's and the 1400 shooting. Boy did that shorten my winter project list.
Thanks to everyone that gave me info and pointed me in the right direction with my projects.

Ok, now back to the off topic. I have never gotten a mule drunk in my life, but I do know a lot of people that turn into " Mules" when they are drunk.
Plus I did get a pigeon coup full of pigeons drunk when I was a kid. Hahahahahaha

[K.O.]

I have never gotten a mule drunk...

but am embarrassed to say,

I have gotten mule drunk...

[Big Bore Bart]

  My G-pa had a mule that got into the fermenting hog feed.

That could make for one big, hard headed mean critter.

Congrats... still drooling over a 1400... I think that will be my next pursuit.
I once got drunk and saw a pigeon riding a mule but.... that's another story.

Wow.   I would like to know how you find time to practice with all of the good AirRifles you already have, every day, let alone how you have time to add another to shoot every day.

I look forward to you getting a 1400 just to see what you do with it, it is so close to the 140.

In my opinion... they make guns today that scream to be modded and transformed and beefed. The old ones are classics and bring so many of us to our childhood days. The only thing I would ever do to any of these jewels is bring them back to their original glory (or as close as possible) and enjoy them. As I've posted before, our house was previously built and owned by and old Game Warden. He use exposed barn timbers and alot of cedar. We have built in gun cabinets in our living/family room and even a hiden gun vault behind one of the closets. Our guns are displayed throughout and are as wonderful to admire as they are to shoot. We recently decided to begin trading off most of our newer guns for the older classics. We have a few newer ones that we really like and will be keeping those but other than that, everything else is tradable. I do intend to inventory and post what may be available as soon as I can get some kind of break from work. Betty Lou and I discuss it daily.

I do agree with keeping them close to stock.  Though there are a few small changes that I would make, just to make it easier to reseal in the future, such as the Flat Faced piston head from MAC-1, it  is easier to find a #111 O-Ring than to get a replacement cup seal for these.    I will tune up the Crosman 140, though that is just so I know that it is performing as well as possible.

The only reason I want to put a new model steel breach on mine is so that I can mount a scope with out having to worry about scratching the barrel.  I would keep the original breach safe.

I have already done the piston o-ring conversion on both of mine. That was a no brainer for me. I shoot these pumpers mainly with open or peep sights so no need for the breech change. I am glad that we all look at things differently. Makes things interesting.
