Crosman air pistol - General discussion / UK Law ?

Last post by 452Varmint - October 03, 2024, 08:44:24 PM

Would it be legal to build a pistol using a 2250 stamped main tube ?
Pistol grips, no shoulder stock, sub 6ft/lbs

I probably have enough parts to assemble a pistol but obviously want to keep it legal, any issues i can always try to swap the 2250 tube for a 2240 tube but i like the idea of a longer tube and adding a 2250 forend to make it look like the old SSP2-250.

Found this NCstar 4x20 on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R4HSW2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title.  It is still 4x  but going from a 15 to a 20mm objective is 33% more objective lens and it should let in some more light. It was fairly cheap at $13, comes with 20mm bases, and has a listed weight of 3.35oz.

Also, on my 1377 at about 7yds i am shooting about 1.5in low and I am out of adjustment. Its pouring rain outside so I can go out to stretch the distance. What distance do you commonly zero these at? I was thinking 20 or 25yds?

Winchester 2-7x32 AO scope is 1.2 pounds

I decided on getting thisPinty Red Green Reflex Rifle Scope Dot Sight with 4 Different Reticles:

No magnification but is 0.35 pounds (160 grams) and tremendous eye relief.

The Winchester 2-7x32 AO scope seems to be quite popular for those wanting to save money.

It is an AO though, and for your use, it's actually a + 

Oh, I have no idea of the weight, but its little brother is about 16oz:

Hey, So I have a 1377 with a 14 in barrel and a stock on it. I just upgraded to the steel receiver. I bought the 4x Crosman scope, it was cheap, light, and nostalgic. In getting it mounted and getting ready to zero I have found that both the brightness and field of view are severely lacking.

I want to keep things a light as I can. I weighed it with the Crosman scope last night and it was only 3lb 6oz. I do have a 3-9x40 that I could steal off another air rifle, but it weights in at over 1lb by itself and I cannot justify a 33% weight increase.

What are some good scope options. Light weight is most important, but clear bright glass and a good field of view are important too. I do not need an adjustable objective/parallax

Alliance Hobby has them smooth tubes but they're not cheap.

that's bad news David
thankfully i can make my own un stamped tubes and in the UK we have a few others who can
parts though now are scarce in the UK since Gmac folded
