Took a quick trip to Ace Hardware today and got a few button head, Allen screws and replaced the stock rear breech screws on my 1377 and 2289. This was motivated by the lack of a shorter replacement screw in a Crosman steel breech kit. As correctly suggested early today on CAPOF, the stock screw was too long and was giving the hammer spring a bad time...

I like the look and the positive feel of the new screws with the Allen wrench so I'll go through and replace what I can - a cheap, fun project. Stainless for the 1377.

Finally got the Outdoorsman look-alike finished yesterday. Also, swapped out the .22 barrel for a .177 LW barrel on my pistol..
I will post a thread on it in the Gallery later when I get a chance and some photos taken.

The 2289 got a Chavka barrel band. It needed a little modifying to fit (the holes were off a bit) but it's in there and looking/working well.

I also tried a CenterPoint 4-16x40 Mildot scope. Wally's didn't have the rings I would need for it, so it didn't all go together. It was close enough for a mock up, and while I liked the scope well enough, I'll be continuing the search for something a little shorter, lighter, more aesthetically balanced.

Just remembered this morning that I had bought a set of tap and dies a few weeks ago, so I decided to tap my new doofer with a 4-48 tap and used a breech screw to secure my tru glo sight.



First time I have done that so I am quite proud  :-*

Cool idea with the stamp, Plinker  :-*

I may have to "borrow" that idea  myself ;) ;D...sure beats the hell out of tracing a dime umpteen dozen times like I'm doing now!

Nice shootin' too, btw! :-* :-*

Finished milling the slots on my 2240 Lite tube to 0.5".  No significant weight savings as they were 0.485" but they are more uniform and clean looking now.

Awesome! I did the same thing this weekend (didn't use an eraser for the middle: excellent idea!).

I found that I like bright colored paper, as I can the whole better than through white paper.
