Wanted a discrete pistol for kayaking and out and about plinking which led me to picking this hobby back up after many years. I own and shoot a bunch of powder guns but there has always been a place in my heart for air guns.
Started life as a $50 amazon p1322
Quickly the mod bug bit me hard and along came the steel breech
Followed by the picatinny rail and $43 optic. I can WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend this little optic. Rave reviews all over the internet on these for powder rifles.
The thought process behind the rail was the ability to mount the optic far back but still allowing for access to the chamber to feed pellets. Happy how that came out.
Next was more power so an alchemy airwerks 3 piece kit was ordered and installed.
I did some deburrung while the gun was apart.
Next I focused on the trigger. I ground and mirror polished all contact points, added a shim to the sear and compressed the spring as much as I could.
Then pulled apart a Winchester 22lr (garbage ammo btw) and put the case inside the spring and mirror polished the end to aid smoothness and stop the spring from bending. (Not my mod or idea, I read this mod on a forum)
Next I replaced the stupid roll pin with an ace hardware hex key bolt and lock nut.
In doing so I was finding the pump handle would open sometimes if you jerk the gun so I recessed some tiny magnets into the handle. This worked great and gives a nice click when the pump handle is stowed.
If you're paying attention you'll see the pump handle is not original. It's the buck rail plumper pumper. 3D printed with a beautiful honeycomb design.
While I was at it I also added their grips, supressor and adapter and poor man's folding stock. I had a fantastic experience with Buck Rail and rate them very highly!
Here's the gun today. I have already bought a pcp and look forward to enjoying this hobby again.
Thanks for making it to the end of the post!
Merry Christmas!
