Not today but the last thing I did  :D  I almost ruined this stock because of a stripped grip screw. The bedliner covered up the scratches pretty good after sanding  :)  I always wanted to do this anyway, it feels great now.

SprayBoy is back with a vengeance. The stock looks very good!

Got around to putting a steel breech on my 1322.
When I did my 1377 that kit had the shorter rear screw, this one did not.
I had to take a bit off with the Dremel.

So once I get that on I attach the rear sight that I ordered from Archer and the gun shoots high and I am maxed all the way down.
This calls for a 1/16 hole down the middle of the plastic blade and a cut off of an old bit for a pin sight.

Now the gun is shooting very nice.
Right now I just plan on replacing the sear spring and finishing up some wood grips and I may leave well enough alone for a while.

NAG! NAG! NAG!  Geesh, what is wrong with this younger generation...  :P

Okay here is a picture I snapped the other day after I changed out his flat-top piston which had some trashed o-rings but was still shooting okay.  I also installed a new barrel band he had made because his .25 caliber barrel is 1/2" OD instead of 7/16" like Crosman barrels.  And while I was messing with the internals I replaced his pivot pin with a Mellon kit.

His .25 caliber is pretty slick now and hits really, really hard on 10 pumps.

More later on his 2540 which is an awesome hitting gun.

I've never wanted something so useless in my life.

Here is how Noah gets his bling on.  :P

Added the brass barrel band and then donated, sort of, okay, I charged him triple, a mr007s brass tri-wing gas cap.  It is now starting to take shape and not sure what our next step is.

Open to suggestions.

Mahalo nui loa (thanks a bunch!) for all of your time, efforts and expertise, Carl.

The "next" step is possibly making some open sights for the 2540?  ??? 'Anybody want to chime in?
