Took my time with these ones. Experimented with building a brake and an air stripper, incorporated into the barrel shroud nut.
They function, as in the Pellets don't clip anywhere :lol:
The cone insert in the stripper is adjustable, but I may set it and secure it with putty... I donno, I want it easily removable if needed, but I don't want to drill a set screw hole thru it, know what I mean?

The flat black/air stripper model is painted. Took my time, primed the sandblasted frame and aluminum shroud parts with the etching primer, sprayed with acrylic enamel? Then baked in the oven. Seems pretty ok for a spray job. Durable too, took a couple hits and never chipped.
The optic mount is a scope base from a savage .22, fits the contour nicely. Of course the holes I drilled didn't work out perfectly... It is skewed a little. Whatever, I'm able to bore sight it so it should be fine. :lol:
Oh it's .25 cal too. Had to actually detune it by setting back the hammer spring tensioner. Tapped the guide and inserted a cap head screw, worked out perfectly.


The scoped model is .22 cal, 4130 steel shroud tube. No heavy valve mods on this one, just a new delrin poppet and stem. I even picked out my lightest hammer spring. It's the non adjustable hammer spring retainer in this one. Anyway, nice quiet pop and 470fps with some light weight pellets. 11" barrel.
The brake looks funny... The holes are too small or too far apart... I donno. I could put more in there but I don't want to :lol: whatever, it was my first try.

What else to say? Oh, not sure how they shoot but I'm willing to bet they're tack drivers. I'll set up a short range, I can get about 18 yards if I shoot straight thru the house into the garage :lol:

Thanks guys.
The.25 barrel is the other half of the first .25 build I did. It's a Kral barrel. I believe this end of it is choked as well.

The .22 barrel is from an old crosman, I want to say a 622. Had it on my old mk1 pistol build, which wasn't as good as it could be so it got scrapped for parts :lol: I know the barrel shoots anyway.

I know what you mean. I'm not really a pistol guy either... But there's really something about a co2 pistol lobbing .25 lead at cans. It slaps them pretty hard.

I do really like these mk1s though. classic design that just works good.

Also I'm pretty limited by the size of my lathe... Rifle sized parts are a real hassle to deal with unless it's under 3/4". Pistols are short so I can easily make shrouds and barrels etc. Was going to buy a bigger lathe but things changed. :roll:

I'll get some trigger time this weekend. Unless it snows... :roll:

I'm a big fan of strippers and yours don't dissapoint. Nice work for sure. When I am allowed back to work I'm going to try making some myself.

Thanks,
It's a 7x12" from busy bee.
I saw a 8x36" on Amazon that looks pretty good for the price. Apparently it has a 1.5" hole thru the head stock. But, Amazon...

Cool...I'd like to see the holes in a small soup can at 50 yards with your .25 cal...I only have .22's and they make a mess of a can in about 12 shots or so..(nitro venom).....so .25's must be awesome...hmmmm... :D

Well 50 yards might be a stretch... But yes .25's really are good at killing random things like cans.

I still need to get out to do some shooting... Other projects eating up all my time :lol:
