Finally got my project finished up. Started life as a 2028 pistol. Not a fan of the plastic buck rail kit for these guns, so I went to town with a buttstock off a kral I had laying around. Molded it all together with Fiberglass resin.
Painted with a silver base and charcoal metallic top coat to give it a nice pewter finish. Was trying to match the matte carbon fiber I used for the shroud. Now I'm thinking about clear coating the carbon fiber, and maybe redo the paint just a bit darker.
Needed a lot of love done to the barrel, but it's minute of squirrel noggin now. 20 shots at 700-725 with air arms 16s. Will serve well as a bird and squirrel buster under 40 yards.
It's quiet enough not to spook my old beagle who runs and hides when it thunders or there are fireworks. She just stayed on her loveseat and cuddled with her stuffed animals lol. She gets nervous when she even sees a gun. Definitely not a hunting dog!
Im hoping to get it oustide this weekend, but it's supposed to be -4 on Sunday morning here, so I doubt that'll happen.
