That's not bad. I don't see deep pitting, you could try to cold blue it, may be start with barrel and see how it turns out.

What pistol did you shoot today
- Thread starter Septicdeath
- Start date
I was shooting my Diana 6M that Ive had since the early 90's. It developed the disintegrating seal problem about 10 years later. I rebuilt it this year, putting in new piston seals and it shoots very well. Now find iron sights a bit tricky with reading glasses, so I modified a 10-22 scope base and made a mount for a Bushnell TR25 red dot. It can group 3/8" at 10 M for 3 shots off of a rest I need to practice a bit more

Just been checking the fps on my 6G, with 7.4gr Econ II, a five string average was 447fps.
I suspect it has been fitted with a new seal at some point and over-lubed giving it a bad smoking habit. This seems to have eased off at bit after a good number of pellets, I don't really want to dismantle the Giss system if I can avoid it!
This velocity is more than adequate for my purposes of paper punching, I have various pistols with more power if I want to shoot beyond 10m.

Today I felt like a good day for classic Crosman pistols. A couple of 112s, one in box I rarely shot, about 95% condition. And the Medalist II, 1300 is a self cocking gun. About 98% I would say, a family heirloom, so I have to take good care of it.

These. Just about 10 shots through each to shake down. Ordered each other fraternal twin guns for our anniversary. Ordered within 10 minutes of each other and I actually ordered hers first. Mine got here last week. Hers just came in today so been waiting for a week to shoot mine! Lot of fun. Both in need of a little trigger massaging of course. Apparently didn’t hit apply when I added her trigger shoe. Oops. Hoping Crosman can save me. Find out tomorrow.

Thanks. Steve Corcoran does great work. Completely different experience shooting those two guns but both fun. She wants to try her scope out so will be interesting to shoot the shorter barrel with it.

Added a Steve Corcoran grip ( off a THOMAS ) to a cut apart JTS Airacuda max stock. An EXTREME Field Target Pistol conversion.
Shot it today getting it dialed in for this Sundays FT club match shooting it on the 10-55y rifle course.
Stiff BISLEY eye cup for added offhand support & Custom V block out front fitting Bipod yoke profile.
Crazy is as crazy does !!!

As my Daisy Powerline 44 revolver arrived today, gassed it up - no leaks, hooray!
With the 8" barrel it is doing 388fps with 7.4gr pellets.

Shot my new 1300KT again today. Long enough to confirm: 1) My 2x scope is FUBAR. Cost more to send back than it’s worth; 2) my old eyes can’t deal with a notch sight. Too bad, the Williams is really nice; 3) I still don’t care for the Hatsan RD I threw on it. It’s ok; 4) It’s hard to see how accurate this gun is shooting off hand with out of the box trigger. Good grief, need a winch to pull it. At least Kim’s scope was good. Time for me to go pistol scope shopping.

Update. Called Crosman to see if I could just buy another 2x scope because shipping bad one back was going to cost more than half what they list for in Custom Shop. Instead they’re just shipping me a new scope free or charge. Love those folks.

Got to shot two old favorites of mine. The Crosman model 88. I'll soon convert this to regulated HPA using notos air tank. The bottom pistol is my first attempt at making custom airgun. Made it back in 1977 while I was stationed in NAS Cubi Piont in the Philippines. I used a local made co2 rifle and local iron wood they call Epil-epil.

I love that grip on the AP16. Where did you get em and did you have to cut the 1911's frame? Thanks for info.
