Well done, it looks nice.
here is my restored beeman c1, got it in pretty bad condition, cleaned everything , decided to paint as pitting was quiet bad, fires ok pretty accurate, and puts out 10.9fp.
Well done, it looks nice.
Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room
That's an impressive transformation

Loverly job . How did you refinish the stock - looks 'factory' but even better

Susssssh Garvin !
Its nice to see pictures for a change ! and IN FULL COLOUR !
about 10 coats of birchwood casey oil, and lots of elbow grease, I took my time sanding it down ending up using 320 grit paper, then 2 coats of oil then 00000 grade wire wool, then a tack rag to clean it of, repeat as many times as you like , until you get the required look
Thats worth the work i.m.o .
My mate did try this stuff once - he could NOT get on with it , so I tried something different - cannot remember , one of the oils used for garden
furniture (?) .
Was happy with the result , but the result you got beats it by x10 .
To get 10.9 ft.lb. out of most spring rifles you need a large amount of leverage from the barrel which needs to be around a minimum of 12 to 13 inches. I just cannot see how you can do it on this rifle. Tell me how ?

you have to knock the barrel to break it, but cocks fairly easy, has top hat kit and new spring,
I had a go with Rhys Lightnings 22 Evo with the short barrel at a springer bash last year (or before that) - you needed the steroid fueled dynamic grip of Dolf Lundgrens W***ing hand to be able to cock the bugger!!!
Wow. What's the barrel length on that?
How does it shoot? I have one with an unmolested 14" barrel, and between the stock design, lack of forward weight, punchy power plant and heavy trigger, it's one of the hardest airguns I have used to shoot well.
Someone has bitten off half the barrel. That's a Beeman C 0.72 ultracarbine. Must be a sod to cock/fire, some people should be banned from owning a hacksaw...
This thread makes me wonder how a C1 would handle and shoot with the standard (19"" I think) Vulcan barrel.
