New toy

#1 Post by ustilago »

It was a 1377 when I bought it yesterday. . .

Why does Crosman use such a heavy sear spring? A brass washer, a lighter sear spring and the aluminum part off of a pop rivet later. . . 2lbs of snappy trigger. . .

Ok, how's the velocity? Pathetic! 380 fps with Crosman wads at 10 pumps! 25 pumps to get up to 500fps. . . that'll never do.
<grumble/rant>Got some brass and 10-32 set screws laying around. . .hey this clevis'll fit. . . </grumble/rant>

Hey! That's not a stock plunger! No, its micro adjustable.
And I happen to have a ported valve for a 2289 laying around here somewhere. . .

Ouch! That cheesy pump arm pinched my palm for the third time. .
And I don't care for the stock grips. . . or the iron sights. . .

Ooooh, I have to get my PAL to pump this more than 9 timeswith Beeman hollowpoints, 10 times with Crosman Wadcutters or 17 times with Kohovute Diabolo Boxers. . .

What's Sylvie's number again? I need some more parts. . .

Hey, don't hate. It releases negative energy, which is bad for everyone.

I think they do around 420fps-ish stock for 10 pumps. I'll chrony mine tommorow and see how it shoots.

Get a B5-10 instead. only 4 pumps to get that velocity. The only downside is that you now have an all-metal gun with a ten-shot clip instead of a single-shot plastic gun. Oh wait... :P
