What work did you just do?

Anxious to see how your two stage piston progresses.  Do keep us posted.

Superb!      Looking forward to the next report.  I have been looking at the two-stage pump drawing every few days.  Got some aluminum stock yesterday (no appropriate brass available there) and plan on a first mock-up just for practice and fitment during the snow storm this weekend.  Can you say what spring you are using?

And a nice press, too!

I really like that pump arm pin remover. Great idea.

This week I made a 1377 pump arm pin removal and installation tool, and I started the build of a two-stage piston for that SSP 1377. Outer piston in brass, and inner piston in SS.

I like it. Never did like beating on my pistol to get the roll pin out.

Thanks for the nice comments, gents .

@ quickster47: There should be some interesting developments real soon, tomorrow I'm gonna get a mini-lathe, so no more need to be at school to work on my parts! 

@ CraigH: The spring came from an old Crosman Black Venom plastic pistol, it's 0.451'' OD, with a 0.048'' wire diam., and about 5 7/16'' in length.

@ mudduck48: I broke a plastic barrel band on my M4-177 because of the pounding on the pivot pin .  Never again .

The pin press has a 2'' opening, the swivelling push pin is 1 1/8'' in length, with an additional 1/4'' length that goes in the screw. I guess it could be made out of an inexpensive C-clamp. Mine was a class project, adapted to my airgunner's needs  .

Cheers all!

I got tired of using an arbor press to tear down the PC77, so I replaced the pump arm pins with bolts and Davio's pivot pin can be pulled out with a long 4/40 bolt and sleeve.

I have a brass trigger on the 2260 trigger group and wanted a safety to match.  So, I got a brass rod from Onlinemetals and used a couple of files & drill press to shape the rod.  Sorta fugly but the worst parts don't show when installed.  Works fine.

[mudduck48]

Yes, it does look good installed, Good job.

[quickster47 †]

Bill you did a good job.  And since I also have a 2260 I might do the same and use my lather and iffn I make one I might make an extra and send it your way.

That came out great Bill.

[ped]

nice looking pin pusher
those brass safeties can be a pig to make even in a lathe Bill (snapped a couple)so nice work

[arkmaker †]

Man that brass trigger and safety looks GREAT 
Sets the wood up and looks tone a perfect match.

[bgmcgee]

Nice work Bill.

Thanks for the kind words guys.  I forgot to mention it was a PIA which I won't be doing again.

Sure...Sure you won't
