That pump looks excellent Barry,and that breech is polished very nicely.

Thank ya Michael.  After a few more staining sessions it should be ready for the custom Chongman's stainless pump pins.

Thought they would look better with the black and silver of my 1377 than the brass. Plus I had Michael make them a Tad long so they would be proud of the wood.

Hey Big E how about this. Crosman short steel breech and about 10 Minutes on the buffing wheel.

Wow!!! That looks really good

Yes she does

I was pleasantly surprised that the breech polished up so well. I need to work on the top some more to see if I can get. the mill marks out. Then it's dremel time for the tight spots.

Very nice. Different grades of steel polishes easier I suppose.

To divert the topic briefly:  is that the mounting screw hole on the bolt side under the bolt of the loading area?  Or does the Crosman short breech fit a 1377/Pc77 without further modding? For the short breech is a shorter bolt necessary?   I was under the impression long or short the holes are the same location, and bolt same.  So, in short, I am confused .

The short breech is only available with CCS breech screw location (farther from barrel).  It would require that a 13xx tube be made to accept it.

Thank you.  Makes sense now.

Some time back I made an adapter to mount a globe sight on the front of my 160.   Since then it has always listed a little to starboard.   Turns out the tapped hole in the barrel for the front sight was off center to the barrel.

Here is the mount when I first made and installed it.


I offset the counter-bore for the screw on the mill using a rotary table, so that the bottom of the counter-bore would follow the radius of the barrel.   The smaller hole I just took a file to.  While I was at it I painted it black.


Here it is installed and standing up straight, finally.

That turned out nice YSYEO  nice machine work!

Thanks.  It was bugging me, and it was an excuse to use the rotary table, which probably hasn't been used in 10 years.
