so I grabbed a beeman p17 for $5 from PA with a $25 off coupon from the AAG contest entry and have decided on a layout for this single pump.
It's a nice little pistol! trigger seems very workable, power isnt bad with cphp. accuracy is good @ 10y with the fiber sights, so a 2x or 3x scope should be a great addition for 15-20y. Its on the large end of the size spectrum, compared to the rotary mag pellet pistols. but still smaller than a umarex strike point, the 1377/1322 and most breakbarrel pistols, about the size of a HighPoint .40sw/.45acp. Material quality seems decent, just some molding flash here and there. not a fan of the fake mag release, or the ports and side scallops on the end of the barrel housing.
Over all i think this could make a great carbine project. I have looked around and read various info but on mods but not a lot of specifics.
I'd like to get a 4-5" longer rifled barrel, nice 2x or 3x scope. I'll put together a moderator for it and fabricate a production grade removable stock.
so what barrels are possible options for me? I've read everything from turned down crosman, to modified daisy and others. but never seen any part #s or definative accuracy increases, just chrony results here and there.
any trigger work write-ups?
has anyone converted to a Gas/nitro piston for more power?
