LOOKS GREAT!! Ettolo! 

Last night I got a stock valve in the mail form Crosman.  I wanted to test myself and see if I could make a flat top valve out of it.

Took 10 minutes with some dykem and a file!

Then with the dremil I knocked off the corner of the air port to allow better flow out of the valve.

Lastly I took two threads off the top half to increase internal volume.

All told, maybe 35 minutes! Now I need a flat top pistol to match! This time I want a Alum or Brass one instead of derlin.

You made a flat surface with a file!?!?! You are a superhero! Great!

First off, congratulations to all for 100 pages of showing us how you 'getter done'.

My 1300 Medalist II has been feeling poorly for awhile.   When I pumped, I could hear air leaking back past the pump cup.  It was only shooting around 280 fps.

So I took it apart and deburred and sanded the inside of the compression tube, and in place of the standard cup, which was pretty chewed up, I installed an O-Ring adapter from Mac1.




The gun put back together is below.   The blank drill set in the background is something I've had in the shop for a long time, and I find it very useful.   I use one a little smaller than the roll pin in a drill press to remove and reinstall the pump-arm roll pin.  I find that much easier than pounding it out.  When adjusting the headspace, I used one that just fits as a stand in for the roll pin until I got it adjusted just right.    She now shoots around 370 fps.

What a nice looking piece

Mastering the use of a "Russian Mill"  is a useful skill.

Mastering the use of a "Russian Mill"  is a useful skill. 

Took about ten minutes, last few thousandths went real slow with three or four applications of dykem.  The material is very soft, with sharp file it cuts like chalk.

I would like to team this with a metal piston is possible... No rush as I don't have a gun to put it in....yet.

Inquiring minds want to know how to get those barrel bands. As far. as me , my Mellon parts finally got here so now all whopping 3 of my Crosman pistols have 1701 triggers. Guess after you do one you just have to do them all, thank God I don't have many. Also I finished the one off custom pellet trap for Brent's son, think Big E would be proud of my rattle can paint job on it. I am happy how it turned out,  I would post up some pics but it's for his birthday and not sure if he looks over Brent's shoulder.

Just saw this Barry. It's cool to post pics
Braden will never know

Here is a couple of pictures of the trap Brent asked me to make for his son's birthday. I couldn't just send a plain old trap that wouldn't be right so this is how it is looking.

Wow that turned out really nice very cool.

[Baltim0re28]

Wow!! Do you think he is even gonna use that thing? He might not wanna mess it up. Looks great!!!

[bgmcgee]

I hope he does that's what it's made for. I had to make it special,  just the way I am.

[Tater]

That rocks Barry! I know he'll love it. Custom made for his birthday.
Good gift idea Brent.
