Crosman 2200 magnum Walnut

That is very nice job you have done........that walnut looks better than the original wood.

Yep, I keep having to click back onto this post and have an oggle. A fine looking beastie.

I've got a 2200w here which is in a anniversary box aswell, Always fancied putting a scope on it but the dove rail dont stick up much, Are normal mounts ok to use on the top of these guns, Never tried before as I dont want to mark it, The condition is excellent all over and dont want to risk marking it, Only ever had a plink in the summer on the idd occasional day.

I used a single clamp one piece Sportsmatch to spread the load and prevent damage.
The two halves of the receiver aren't 100% perfect. One thing that I noticed when I pulled it apart all those years ago that it was slighty under tension.
Adding a scope mount could increase the tension causing stress to the diecast reciever sides.
It's an underrated an air rifle.

You will have to keep an eye on it because I believe the material used in the side plates is Mazak which can suffer from rot.

One thing I've noticed is that there is a little play where stock fixes to metal, Didn't want to mess with the 2 screws/bolts as is only minimal, But are they there to tighten the stock to the action. Thanks.

There's a bolt that runs from the butt to the reciever side plates, there's a flate plate the other end.
Another area that could cause a stress/crack failure.

Scroll down to page 3 (I think it is), don't worry it's not the Sun.

Large flat bladed screw driver should tighten it.
