Pellet Picture Database / Bargain pellet find!
Last post by MoWog72 - May 27, 2024, 09:39:54 PM
Thought I should share my good fortune. Several years ago I used to frequent an awesome surplus store which has since closed. I was able to buy 60+ boxes of Crosman Copperhead (175 count) wadcutter pellets in .22 caliber for $25! Originally discounted to $1.00 a box. I had been shooting them off and on for a while with my now departed Crosman Quest break barrel rifle, and set them aside. They shot okay, but not impressive in my Crosman 1322. I recently came upon a tip to wash and dry dubious lead pellets and lube them with Endust (a dusting/cleaning spray). Boy was I surprised. Having a great time shooting in my basement at 10 yards with my modded 1322.
So, keep your eyes open!

He must have refused it because the Dutch posties work for the customs dept too and collect VAT and import duties before or upon delivering... Sad times.

The continuing saga of my 2300S build...

A relative sent a Cochran Machine Shop stainless steel breech, a stainless barrel band, a stainless steel probe, etc. to Teun Meen in Holland in February, and on Saturday it was sent back to the USA reason unknown. I advised Mr. Meen that the package was on the way and assumed it was received...  I'll have the package sent to be by FedEx and then ship it off to Mr. Meen.

It's probably going to be another month or more before I have the completed pistol. In hindsight I should have purchsed a Feinwerkbau p11 and had a green dot attached to it. ;D

Any suggestions for a rear sight for a Crosman Silhouette 1701P, preferably changing front/rear to peep sights or fiber optic? Or the best iron sight option like the Crosman Williams. TIA!

Crosman air pistol - General discussion / Update on my 2300S build
Last post by Drdan - May 09, 2024, 08:04:47 AM
Hi everyone,

My 2300S project is taking a bit more time than anticipated.  I sent a lot of upgraded parts from Alchemy, Don Cothran's shop, and others to Holland for the build. 

A billet aluminum trigger guard ordered from e-bay had lots of unsightly machining marks, so Teun Meen of Metura Sports sent it out for sand blasting, and the result was really nice, so much so that I won't be having it black anodized.  It will look nice with all of the stainless accessories... The pistol will hopefully be delvered sometime in May.

I am planning to give all of the spare parts away, and I will post something in the "For Sale" section of this forum once everything arrives in Germany.  The pistol itself will NOT be for sale.  :)

This is a list of the items that will be given away:

Williams FP notch rear sight
OEM aluminum muzzle brake with sight post
OEM plastic grips
Buck Rail solid plastic grips
OEM sear
OEM plastic trigger guard
OEM extended probe
OEM trigger
Don Cothran stainless steel bolt handle
OEM safety
OEM long steel breech
OEM screws
OEM  CO2 tube power adjuster
OEM CO2 piercing end cap
OEM breech end cap
OEM barrel band
OEM hammer
Blued steel 1/2" UNF muzzle brake adapter for threaded 7/16" (11mm) barrel

If anyone has an idea as to how to find a worthy recpient of these spares please chime in.  Perhaps it would be someone currently planning or working on a 2300T or 2300S build, or someone owning one of these guns and needing some spares...

As soon as the pistol is delivered, I will post photos and a list of all the mods.
