    Yep, first job is a steel breech and shortened barrel. I don't know whether to go GMAC, Alliance Hobby or standard Crosman though. I guess I'm gonna have to ask in a Crosman modification group. Trouble is they're all as mad as a box of frogs and don't know if it's bum or next Thursday!

    Evening peeps.

    Yep, I was going to suggest also having a look at the SD Custom Design site.

    Also, Nick, in case you weren't already aware of it (and assuming it's still on the go - I haven't looked in for a long while), Google up the "Airgun artisans" site. I seem to remember there were loads of tricked up Crosmans on there for inspiration / ideas.

    Also, although not directly in line with what you're doing, always worth a look on Mr Gaylord's pyamydairblog. There has been a series, recently updated, on the Custom Shop 2400KT rifle by someone going by the name of "Hiveseeker". All good information.

    Hi Tony . i bought a few bits off Steve . A moderator that was really good until i lost it as i had done the grub screw up tight .

    It was a delrin one .I was going to get the hole bored to 16mm to go on my nephews HW80k . I tried to buy another and he had stopped selling them they were very quiet.

    I bought a 24" barrel from him and some other bits too before i sold the 2250 xt to fund my gun cabinet .

    Steve was a very helpful guy to deal as is out Nick.


    if i remember right there was a forum that did the Crosman airguns and a guy called microbugs did a lot of customising on them .

    this one
