I think I just received a LARGE Compliment!

[arkmaker †]

I did a trade recently for my Transformer 2. Today, the new owner brought it to Mac-1 for a new LDC and a quick look over. Well, needless to say, yes, I was a little nervous to have Tim looking over my work!! One real nice compliment was when the new owner asked him to do a re-crown, Tim doned his head-scope and took a look at mine. Then said, "Nothing wrong with that crown, can't make it any better" or something similar to that.........


Any how, I was relieved and I think my chest just got a little bigger    They shot it over the chrony and were getting around 585 fps with 18.3 grain pellets. Not to awful shabby for a heavy weight .22 pellet. Let's hope the accuracy is there. He should be shooting right now as I type this post!!

Yep, and at close to 14 ft lbs it should be a good little pester as well. He just emailed me a target that he shot offhand and the spread looks to be about 3/8" to 5/8" Hard to tell from the photo. He said the target measures 9/16" You be the judge.

Oh, and here was what I received on my end of the trade!!

Nice! Did it come with the charliedatuna trigger or did you put it on?

It makes a huge differenc frome the stock trigger. That is a dime size geouper if you hold it right while shooting...
I sold mine a long time ago...kind of wish i hadnt...

The former owner put it on and even though I have not had a chance to shoot it yet, it feels good and I think has potential. I only have one other break barrel (the low powered Titan) and really have not had a chance to shoot it either. Both are a bit loud for my backyard, so only time will tell.

Also, looking at the grouping above, I do not think that target is only 9/16" If you figure the pellets are .220" then 3 pellets side by side would measure a little less than 9/16" Maybe what he meant to say was that the group measured 9/16" or I read the email wrong. Blame it on old age!! I'll sclae it and see what I come up with.

[arkmaker †]

The above target scaled down so that the pellet hole measures .220" will measure 1-3/8" in diameter. Still not too bad of shooting.

Congrats on the trade and the compliments Rich.  If that's a NP Trail XL I got one too in .22.

Does Crosman still carry those Airsource sleeves?

Congrats on the trade and the compliments Rich.

X2! 

Nice Benji. What model/caliber is it . I have the "950 fps" Hardwoods edition in .22 (which in the real world shoots 720 - 730 w/14.6gr ammo) and love it once I upgraded the trigger.

Try some 14.66 gr H&N Field Target Trophies through her, mine LOVES 'em! It will consistently hit a 1.5" spinner at 50 yards all day long using them...benched of course

No, I don't think they do. I got that one form another member here on the CAPOF.

Yep, Benji NP Hardwood in .22 I will pick up some of those pellets and give them a try when I get the chance. Thanks.

I have been looking for some time for one ....

[arkmaker †]

If someone finds a box full of those at some point, they would make a fortune!! Everyone that has an 88 gram tank is always looking for one. They'd sell like hotcakes, me thinks!

I've got one of those re-fillable 88g tanks from Brian & Associates with the adapter. Not using it right now, and it just sits on the shelf. Nice gun build, BTW.
