I love the weight and metal in those old pistols not to mention how they shoot 30 to 50 years later. 

J I have recently shot mine for the first time in a while. I went down the PCP rabbit hole and am now rediscovering my springers. Using a FX chrony it shot a JSB RS 13.43g pellet @ 837 FPS. I shot a 1/2 inch 5 shot group at 25 yds. The 54 is very capable of better groups. I was shooting sub...

Cool beans I like your mods. I remember when Crooked Barn use to sell Boss Valves for 2240's and HPA kits. I think you are all over it with an 18" barrel , which i've found to be the optimum length for a 2240. Good luck with your build Summitshooter.

Boscoebrea one of my favorites, and was my first PCP. I've found it to be a great backyard AG with it's low noise and power. Sometimes you just don't need 30 fpe and over. It will also take a regular sized Predator pellet in it's mag. I've had mine since 2014 and it has preformed without any...

Yep last time I was in bear country can not say I was carrying my Brocock Grand Prix PCP pistol. Had a Ruger Redhawk instead.

Using the mentioned Colt Python as an example. I doubt if any airgun made in the last 50 years has appreciated in value like the Python, which originally cost $150 and now try to buy one in decent shape for less than $3000. You will now pay closer to $4000 for a clean version and some starting...

From pic looks like a BSA Lincoln Jeffries. My brother has one from turn of 19th to 20th century in .22 and it will shoot a JSB Express 14.3 g pellet at 510 fps leather orings and all. A beautiful air rifle in form and function. Thanks for sharing Yrrah.

Fun Factor number 1 At this stage of my airgun addiction that includes vintage, CO2, springer, PCP, and big bore if it's not fun to shoot it stays on the rack or in the safe. It's just as fun to shoot a Crosman 600 semi auto circa 1965 as it is to shoot an FX Wildcat.

I’ve noticed that Texans shoot more accurately at approximately 2700 psi than 3000 psi. I know that weight of slug will effect this optimum fill pressure, but 2700 psi is way more accurate than 3000 psi in every Texan I’ve shot. Your findings seem to support that at 2650 psi as being your sweet...

Crosman has different airgun smiths that do their warranty work. In my case, since I live in SC I send any Crosman warranty work to Smiths Airgun Repair. They are relatively close in NC, do good, conscientious work, and return fixed airguns in a timely manner. 

Blacksword I had the exact same problem with mine. Spysir is right in that you have a broken part that is under warranty if you are the original owner, and it has been less than a year since purchase. Crosman fixed mine for free.

Hey Red I usually hand all of my vintage CO2 pistols off to Sue Smith of Smith Airguns(They publish Airgun Hobbyist) for all fresh orings. Sue works alot on vintage air pistols and turn around time is fast. They also do all Crosman warranty services. The Mark 1 is an awesome plinker and shop...

Hey Chris thanks for the video, and great shooting. I might have missed it, but what fill pressure were you using for the Nielsen 350g boat tails?
