What work did you just do?

[Davio]

you shot a puppy outside why
just kidding.thats what i thought when i first read  this

I read it the same way, but got it after the double take.  I'm glad, too because I draw the line at baby ducklings.

I'm not much into shooting anything these days and never had to shoot a dog. Dang, I think I cried when Old Yella got put down!


You should hear me talk!! I am always getting into trouble for saying things wrong and people taking them the wrong way...........If I am lucky, I see their face contort and then explain myself. Writing was always my saving grace, but now it looks like I'm merging talking and writing.....a babbling idiot I am  [size=78%] [/size] Honest Guys, my heart is in the right place!


Dang, though come to think of it, I sure did start many a fight in my younger days without even trying.

Another cobbled together shooter. This time a 2250B which will eventually get the Outdoorsman Stock (if I ever get around to finish fitting it).


2250B Tube and Valve
Standard Trigger Frame
18" .22 Barrel with Arkmaker LDC
Crosman Short Steel Breech
Brass Extended Probe Bolt (looks like Airgunsmith?) and Mellon Bolt Handle
Barska 2x7x20 Scope
Standard Stock with RB Grips Walnut Insert (for now until Outdoorsman Stock is ready).


Testing to come shortly.

Just resealed a beautiful old girl.
I love the cast pump handles on these 105/106's. The valves are interesting too, in that the stems unscrew making changing the valve seal super simple. Adjustable piston too!

it was just the wording
i posted a video a several years ago here i made a homemade scope camera the only thing i had to put in the crosshairs was a cat on a garage about 20 yards away the video cuts of and must have left the impression the cat was about to get shot.i didnt shoot the cat and got some replies saying i hope youdidnt shoot the cat but i put in the disclaimer before posting no cats/animals were harmed making this video
you made me crack up with the fight thing.that had to be rough

arkmaker- Fine looking 2250B and I really like that stand 

DJammer- Wow, stunning vintage pistol 

[Tater]

DJammer, that's a really nice looking old shooter.

got my phase 2 1377 assembled
a friend of mine was over today,after i got done assembling the phase 2 1377 i had to shoot it to make sure evertything was ok he was standing there when i let a pellet fly after 10 pumps.he said geez is that the same gun you used to shoot a long time ago ,i said yep!
he then said why does it sound like a .22lr? i had to show him attached the accustoms shroud and fired another shot he said thats what it used to sound like what is that?
it was fun seeing his reaction to the unshrouded shot. next is to put the pdp3 red dot on him

Nice one, DJ. I really like the old one piece grips, too.

Finally got a chance to take a few pics of what I did to my 1377 the other day:




Polished the grip frame (just what you can see of it), turned out decent but now it needs some different furniture...

[1377x]

nice job!

[Davio]

I've been seriously playing around with a camo idea for grips over the past few days.  Basically clear grips with the color on the back side.

The ivory grips and a second color (tobacco amber) are down pat.  These are a bit more of a challenge.

I'll share a picture of the 2nd prototype, but just don't throw the rocks too hard just yet.  These are 100% better than the first stab at it (which was only promising), but best of all I got answers to my own questions and the next one(s) should be what I am after.  This 2nd set has a refractive problem (tiny bubbles) that I thought was caused by one thing, but now know it is another.

I'll post the final version later (after turkey day and weekend since I'll be on the road).

This stuff is fun to me.

[Davio]

and the other new color...

[Davio]

and finally... I powder coated the .177 bb (and dart) smooth barrel for the Kung Fu Panda build to match the ivory grips.  BTW, it will be a 2250 with forearm as well.
