Not sure and not sure what size o ring to useWill adding another Oring work or will cause a leak? Just curious?
I believe he's free floating a synthetic stock. Which is where I would just shim the entire assembly in the stock to lift it and keep changes reversible. I've had guns that didn't like being free floated.... Mostly air guns.I think what technique will work for you has a lot to do with how patient you are. Before there were power tools magnificent furniture (and gunstocks) were made but it took a lot more time and patience. I do not have that kind of patience but I've made a bunch of furniture and a few gunstocks.
I would not attempt a gunstock without at least a plunge router. A router table is better at some things but, as has already been mentioned, if you have a router and a piece of MDF or smooth plywood, or a sink cutout you can make a router table quite easily. The OP seems to be struggling with the barrel channel (on an airgun it is really typically the shroud that fits into the channel). I get a router bit about the right diameter and use my router table. It's one of the easier aspects if you do it this way. Cutting all the areas out for the action to fit into and doing it accurately is harder in my opinion. A plunge router will work for this as will forstener bits on a drill press. I use my domino but that costs as much as a nice air rifle.
I would not try to use a washer as a scraper but maybe it will work better than I think. You could just buy a card scraper and use a grinder to make a scraper that will work. Or you could spend a few dollars on a router and bit and be done with it. People more patient than I am can get a lot done with slower working tools, however.
(a week late ) Welcome to the best A G NRetired. Thinking about a pcp rifle. Have been using a Hatsan model 25 super charger pistol at the ranger. Its a tin can destroyer. Shooting at a 50 yard range with my 'powder' guns. So thinking about something inexpensive & hand pumpable to get my feet wet (G). Like it then I can go crazy and really annoy my wife of 52 years. "You don't need another gun.".
Hey rayroz, thank you for your many years of service as a first responder!Firefighter for 25 yrs full time dept never had one blow . Anything is possible , they will start leaking at the neck or if the carbon fiber starts to delaminate .

nice work ,1377 are fun to Mod. and not much $$ to do it .I have been working on my 1377 over the past week trying to get it to shoot, the trigger was pretty heavy and creepy. I disassembled the gun and made all new pins for a more precise fit, polished the sear and trigger surfaces to a mirror finish and changed out the sear spring to a lighter one. I now have a trigger that breaks at 48 oz with no creep. Also changed out the breach to a longer one with a rail for a scope it came from AirGun Mods and looks to be very well made and solid. Also added a trigger shoe.
My past life was working on firearms for the past 40+ years, having retired and turning over the shop to my oldest son I can now play with other neat stuff.
I bought three cans of pellets two were Crosman Premier wad cutter and pointed and one can of Gamo pointed, out of all of them the Crosman Premeir pointed 7.6 grains worked the best for this test. My back yard range at this time is only 32 feet. Haven't tried for fps testing yet. I am using 5 pumps for now and am waiting for some 10g pellets if Amazon will ship.
I have been collection Crosman guns for a while and hope to get some of the others working as well
Anyhow that's my story.

I'll fill the gun first and see how many shots at the range. So much ti figure out. The compressor I bought also does 12v off the car's battery. Thinking a 3liter tank with applicable hoses/valve/etc would be real handy for the range and not too big to fill with the inexpensive compressor I bought. All this talk and dreams and I still haven't gotten the gun (G)!!One thing I haven't seen mentioned. Depending on the compressor you ordered, it may not be suitable for filling tanks, only guns. Some of the smaller compressors can use a car battery, or a 12v battery for use at the range, if you don't have power there.
I purchased this package last week. I will be selling some of the items when they arrive oneMonday if your interested.Nice stock, trying to get one of these atm
I read the thread on the persons making the holsters to fit the GK, have they started making them again.
I used to love cutting the grass with my John Deere zero turn. 54 inch cutting deck,14 k’s an hour. We had 97 gum and iron bark trees on our footpath, zooming around them was a breeze. Used to take me 3 hours to mow what I could mow, we had just over 6 acres of land that I could mow the rest was dense bush and creek.so you have dogs ? I had a motorized one probably 50 years old , worked great actually cutting the grass like scissors instead of whacking the ends off leaving ragged tears instead of smooth cuts . That was on the city lot , here my front lawn is 70 x 300 feet i have a zero turn 52 inch cut 28 HP motor ! it will do 8 MPH but not very comfortable going that fast .
