I can't say I have seen many pictures of mark I and II's modified. And is a Mac 1 the same as a Mark I?

Mark I is a Crosman pistol; Mac 1 is a business.

Erics posted link is the best on the net. It covers everything.

Mark I is a Crosman pistol; Mac 1 is a business i think he means an LD which is a markI/II that has been modified

Here's a couple of links to Mac1 LDs from members on here:

Basically you can either send off an existing gun or buy an already modded one if they are in stock.

Tim @ mac1 makes some great seal kits too for these pistols amonsgt other bits'n'pieces.

I don't think he offers a. 177 it gets stamped were it said. 177, I think that if you added the better barrel and the tank you would be surprised, The LD is a great gun but I think with all due respect it ruins the look of a classic crosman. Just my opinion and I'm probably all alone

but this is how I see it. If you had $600 in one alot of if not most of that cost was looks not performance based, believe me I have done it too. Its additive once you start with the bling.
Take Care,
Don

I would agree with you there. The Original is perfect as is; looks, trigger & accuracy. Spot on.

It's THE best air pistol I've ever shot. A real pleasure...

Couldn't agree more with you guys. Granted, I don't have near the 22xx arsenal that most have (2-2240, 1-2250, 3-MK1), but my MK's are my fav, hands down.

Here in Canada, we can't get an LD without an RPAL (restricted weapons permit, which I don't have

), so...I'm having one transformed into an LD "clone". It will be a sub-500fps gun (barely) to keep it legal, but not before I see what I can get out of it first!
Should have it back in a week or so, will do an in-depth comparison of stock 2240, MK1, and modified MK1 (new thread, don't want to hi-jack this one). Just another excuse to sling some lead

Couple of teaser pics of LD clone in progress:

HH That thing is going to be Bad Axe. Are you doing the machine work for the shroud yourself?

Pretty darn cool.

No. Machine work (shroud, barrel, valve, and custom piercing cap (adapted for HPA fitting) was done elsewhere. All I have to do is bead blast, wash, and paint (or powdercoat). Install seal kit, scope, and start shootin'.

Can't wait! Feel like a 5 yr old waiting for Santa!
