Sometimes an old hen is better than a spring chicken

[Pale_Rider]

She’s almost 50 years old but shoots like she came outta the box yesterday

5 shots 3/8” ctc @15 yards off the trunk of the car (with a better shooter this pistol can be damn near pellet on pellet)

Predator GTO 11.75 gr 

I tried the JSB 13.43’s but it shoots more accurately with GTOs 

I was surprised it held air when I gassed it up being that the seals look like the originals! Barrel is clean and looks like a mirror. She’s a little beat up cosmetically but functions flawlessly mechanically. This pistol speaks of an era where quality products were the norm. The grip style with the thumb rest makes off hand shooting easier. The stock ones felt good but I like the feel of wood better. They make my hand feel like it’s merging with the gun. The fit is about 90% with slight gaps but overall I love the grips. For $125 this pistol is well worth the money. That leaves plenty of room to customize it with parts from Mac1! I’m thinking about a 10” .177 LW barrel with a shroud. Tuned to shoot 7.4s at 550-600. Should make a nice target pistol!

Wow.

Great pistols. I gotta few of em. MK! and 2. If you buy one make sure it has the adjustable trigger. I've seen 3 versions. 1) trigger link adjustable 2) trigger link drilled and tapped but no screw 3) Not drilled and tapped. The link is hardened and you won't be able to modify it. 

First variants have adjustable power. No biggie to me . You still have Hi and Lo setting

Those classics sure can shoot! Hangy tank HPA conversion unleash the beast! Yo!

Great gun. I've got a MK I and MK II.

Any gun that shoots that good, leave it original. My opinion.

This LD was built to my preferences with a 10” barrel and 12 gram cartridge power-

.22 Mac-1 LD Crosman Mark 2 single-shot Co2 pistol, 10” barrel

14.3gr Croman Premier, 94F, 27 shot power-band- Low= 503, Hi= 529, ES= 26, SD= 4, Avg= 515 FPS/8.4 F.P.

11/23/00 Shot five-shot groups at 50 yards of .63” and .70” c-t-c with Crosman Premiers.

9/12/04 Three consecutive 5 shot groups at 25 yards with Premiers averaged .46” c-t-c.

@KWK I think it’s a first variant, has the adjustable trigger and power

@Yo Are you talking about the adapter with the coil? I have the tank adapter from Mac 1 that connects the tank directly to the pistol

@Jonah Original is no fun to me. It’s like a pretty flat chested chick, she’ll get the job done but she would be better with bigger boobs. The Lothar Walther barrel is like bigger boobs

@Airngasman Seeing your pistol put a smile on my face. The results you got are EXACTLY why I want a longer LW barrel on there. Thanks for posting your LD

"The results you got are EXACTLY why I want a longer LW barrel on there."

FWIW, the LD pistols use Weihrauch barrels.

Thanks, I know they do but I want an LW

 

[Pale_Rider]

Is the Weihrauch as good as the LW?

"Is the Weihrauch as good as the LW?"

In my opinion, yes. Also in the opinion of the man that produces LDs.
