    Custom 2250B Ratcatcher, bitten by the bug again.

    After a number of years out I found a few crosman parts in a box and got a bit carried away and have now well and truly got back into it.

    Finished work on my custom ratty pictured below, thought I'd try something different with this one and time to see how she shoots tomorrow

    Thank you pal. Just finished up the shroud with integral silencer today. Time to find out if everything is aligned as it should be tomorrow.

    I’ll post a list of parts/mods if anyone is interested.

    Also waiting for a GMAC drop block to come into stock to convert to HPA. The B&A valve is already up to the job just need to pin it.

    Loads to love. Ratcatchers shot well but were super light weight. Yours has added a few pounds I suspect

    Looks a very neat job.. Did you have to use a longer eye relief scope for the more fwd position ?
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    The UTC Bug Buster is actually known for it's relatively short eye relief, however with the short stock and DIY cheek riser I get a perfect picture from a comfortable position.

    With the majority of the additions being aluminium it's actually relatively light still, the bipod adds the majority of the weight but it feels well balanced and comfortable to use.

    Proven again..... There is some serious engineering skill on this site.
    Hope it shoots as well as it looks.

    looks well the BNM breech's are getting hard to get now that they've gone out of business
    which Boss valve are you using as if ypou're using a Gmac block with the eliminator tube you caqn get away with just uprating the valve screw
    if you're using the bulkfill valve you'll need the additional valve fixings
