not a pistol, but wtf
Started out as a 2250 and ended up as a 750fps pcp with removable stock and accirate out to 120trs
Have not used it much but its a 1377 can be used as a rear bottle pcp or with co2 ans is almost stock internals

This was a 2240. Now a 2540 in a custom stock (purchased from a Forum member here although I do not remember who). It has a Baker Big Bore Breech and a 1/2" diameter 10" long .25 LW barrel left over from a shortening of an AirForce Condor Barrel blank.
It also sports an AirForce Rail, an OLD Bushnell Centurion Pistol Scope with a 2.5X power multiplier and a custom CF Silencer using AirForce Condor Baffles on a Best Fittings slide on silencer adapter with 1/2-20 UNF threads. Internally it has a Discovery spring and hammer. It has a custom Nylon Tail Cap that sets the spring preload. Ultimately I want to add a larger CO2 supply to it. 12 gram is only good for about 20 shots.
07 Aug 2019 Final form. 4500 PSI CF Bottle, 1200 PSI Reg. Lots of shots. Bedliner stock finish. Stock now 2 piece. Baker Valve and Bulk Adapter.

Except for a pair of 13xx carbine rigs, I kinda’ like to leave/shoot the CR pistols in stock-trim. Well satisfied with factory simplicity and performance
Not many mods on mine.

We'll see if I can manage this..
These are 2240 made over into 1740 carbine and 1377RC made over into a 1322 carbine.
This is a PC77 with black walnut furniture made by a great friend.

I'll have to get back to you on that one - they were purchased used, from another forums classifieds?

All great! All fun fun airguns and likely shoot well above average, but that's just another angle of fun with modding & tinkering.
Tammy's old custom 22xx
An SSP Roz Sumpter made me a deal I couldn't refuse on. Part of that deal was "just keep it in the family" so after we had a nice time with it it went to live at Steve's house.
TC didn't like the swing gate so Steve swap some stainless steel bolt breech on it for Her, don't have a pic in that configuration. Thinking the only reason it left was the 1701p and no temp changes?
Purchased this one for some special purpose I do not now recall
Here's one of Steve's that would really show you exactly how good, or not a shot you were
Really. Nothing on the market shot better.
And that stock of steves that fits pistols ( need one of those ! Restricted to a marauder pistol these days and do not care for the plastic crosman offering)
I just shoot but have certainly admired those that can grab a parts box and assemble something nice from left over & odds & ends ( and maybe a low $ crosman parts order) and shoots flawless groups but still maintains the FUN factor of airguns.

I converted a 1960s-vintage Crosman 187 Co2 rifle into a very successful regulated HPA-bottle field-target pistol that averages .67" five-shot groups at 50 yards with 8.4 grain JSB's at 780 FPS. After installing a lighter trigger spring, the factory multi-adjustable trigger breaks like glass at 6-7 ounces. Those white aiming spots are about 1/2" diameter, and the tightest group measured .34" c-t-c.

Couple more.
Same SSP as above but with custom bolt breech by Steve
Plastic stock on above super custom PFT rig - questions ask Steve I just shot it and smiled)
A visiting pistol up top and my then legal PFT kit
This one may be a stretch for some but a fellow shooter built it from scratch in his shop and the ONLY factory part was a Crosman 101 (the venerable put a squirrel on the table for supper)1940's crosman pumper ) would ring a 3/4" bell at 50 and naturally the owner made even better us of it's potential.
Good time!

Thanks G. With over three decades of (amateur) airgun modifying, I consider 'Ole Homegrown' my greatest airgunsmithing success. And though very purpose-specific (field target), she's VERY GOOD at her specific purpose (and bench-rest shooting).
The 187 donor rifle had quite a lot of 'patina', but shot as well as many 1940s to present-day Crosmans, and lost no accuracy after chopping and re-crowning the barrel. Having some (limited) woodworking 'skills' from traditional bow-building, but lacking stock-inletting capabilities, I cut the inletting out of the white-wood rifle stock and built a walnut pistol stock around the white-wood (inletting) block. After that went well, I refinished the heavily-patinaed metalwork with Duracoat spray finish. That was eight years ago; and despite several bumps I thought would surely damage the Duracoat finish, it's still perfect. That stuff is tough, tough, TOUGH!
