Another 1377

paddlejockey · October 05, 2015, 05:04:30 AM

I found another 1377 at a local big box store. It's a black one; it came home with me. I think it will become a .22 caliber Evil Black Rifle.

That front sight/barrel band looks much more secure than what came on the one that Fedex dropped off here a month ago. The barrel was a little loose in mine and needed to be shimmed at the top.

But I got the pretty gold bolt.

Evil is good. My Evil is in Black and Silver.

Yep, $50-$60 gets you started. You can make it whatever you want it to be from there. Black Rifles Matter.

It will be a black hole that devours your money and time

Cool stuff !

Is the bolt of this new version still steel ? Or is it synthetic ? It looks a bit like the latter though...?

A magnet sticks to it, so I believe it is steel. I believe that it shoots better than my original (Brown) gun did (prior to it getting a steel breech).

Gonna be fun tinkering with them both.

It looks just like the one I got from a big box store 3-4 weeks ago...a fun shooter. I have been going to my back yard and shooting cans for maybe 30 minutes just before dark. I've got 40 acres, so no problem with a shooting range.
Anyway it's still stock...my 1 month older 2240 has gotten all the change so far...more changes planned...it's a dark deep hole I have fallen into...is there a bottom?

Mudduck you are a madman!!!! I love it and am looking forward to the day where I post my own insane collection of both pistols and rifles.

As for the new 1377, I've considered grabbing one myself even though I've yet to complete 1 full build on the 3 I own already.....yep the addiction has me and I'm not even worried about the black hole I'm so deep into so far
