Can someone please explain to me the purpose of an air stripper. Is it similar to a compensator?

Isn't that a girl that jumps out of an airplane and takes her close of while falling?  :-[

No, it's different than a compensator. A compensator has to do with reducing recoil. An air stripper is designed to reduce turbulence around the projectile, which might otherwise effect accuracy.
Black air pistols matter.

I found that a 444 Marlin cartridge brass, will fit nearly perfectly on the standard Crosman barrel.  And if I resize, maybe perfectly.  I was thinking of removing the spent primer, drilling out the flash hole to a size just larger then my pellet (.22 cal).  Then cut slots or holes at the sides near the end of the brass.  Thus, a home made stripper.

Surely, someone else has already tried this?

I'm just not sure it is worth the effort, as my 1322 shoots fairly accurately enough...would need a better scope to tighten up groups as it is.

Hmm, thinking out loud, if a 444 Marlin brass fits the Crosman barrel, then the 44 mag / special brass should also, it would just make a shorter stripper.
I was thinking if it is a tight slip fit, hold in place with LocTite retaining compound (not the same as thread lockers).

Stopped by one day to visit a friend who owned a Pharmacy and he called me back to his office to look at something. It was a video he found online, of a female skydiving nude, as she rotated in the freefalling 'box man' position. On every rotation, I couldn't help but laugh at the contrast between her smiling face and the sight of her 'lips' flapping in the slipstream.

the airstrippers I have seen (sorry to be talking about airguns LOL) are not just open or flat on the end. The ones that seem like they would be most effective have a tube near the end for the shot to pass through and to force the turbulent gasses away through the outer slots. Without the tube it seems you have a standard muzzle brake/comensator.  8)

I have a .308 brass case that I drilled the primer pocket out on.  Installed it in the muzzle end of a brass shroud.  Stabilizes the .22 pellet nicely.  Going to try a .243 case on one of my .177 guns.
Man, that was close!

Air stripper/compensator. Len (LeanardJ/Supermatic) Told me they had an effect on airguns...doubted it but tried it anyways. Len was right (as usual)...dead nuetral when fired...no muzzle rise. Shrunk 10m groups as well.



Made for a benchrest shooter in California...have been told it's working VERY well. 8)



In my experience, air strippers do work to reduce group size. Whether the effect is as a result of stripping muzzle blast from behind the pellet, or tuning barrel harmonics at this point hasn't been settled to my satisfaction. Barrel tuners would sure be easier to make. ;)

Looks like you got a good one. 8)

  MellonAir made some at one time but not any on his web site now!

Hey! Did I make that brass one?

The one on the bottom is a best over-all design I have seen for one. I think I'll try my hand at something similar someday. Opens up a whole new area for experimentation for me!!!
