.Thank you. He does beautiful work. I was lucky to stumble on one because I haven’t seen more for sale recently. Grips on the HW45 are actually wood also. It was a limited edition with ebony grips from some years back. Plastic/synthetics are just not my thing.

Finished off the day with this .22 Crosman Custom Shop 2300. Just Grandpa sitting in his chair plinking at about 13 yards. Hadn’t been shot in awhile. It’s only crime is that it shot so we’ll it didn’t need any work done to it. Still doesn’t. A great shooting little gun. Absolutely the equal of my 2300S.

cleaned the rust off these 2, re sealed and scoped 1. These 150‘s are so much I can’t say no to one when I find it on the cheap.

I spent about three hours shooting cans and swinging targets with my Crosman 2300T, 2300S and my 2240XL. Many a can danced across the yard today,

I got my old Daisy 777 out for a few shots, first time I have shot it in nearly a year. It still amazes me at the accuracy for the price they originally sold for. The only downside is the weight, it's nearly a pound heavier than the next model down a 747 which looks the same. The 777 has a milled steel cocking lever, steel rear sight which is outstanding, and beautiful wood target grips. I too like cans for targets, I have some nylon cords with s hooks on the end so I can easily hang soda cans by the pull tabs, On a breezy day they dance about making for a more changeling target, a lot more fun than punching holes in paper.

Had my p17 out for about 20 mins in the crappy wind(15-20 steady from the south/my left).
Is it me or is the p17 NOT good for 30 yards? Seemed like it was struggling but I figured wind. Plus I've never used it that far
other than an extreme holdover for 50y with a red dot(now currently a pistol scope).
Thoughts?

Does last night count?
I entered the ManCave, had a couple of hard seltzers, cranked up the Bob Marley, and had a total blast in the man cave with my Marauder Pistol in a 1701 tube.
If you have a Marauder pistol that you're not using or neglecting because it's not the latest & greatest, you owe it to yourself to try a simple part swap !
EDIT: another "used to be a pistol" part swap, P-Rod guts, slightly modified Fortitude tube, M-Rod 20" barrel, cf sleeve, TKO
sorry for the poor pic, this LG android SUX for pictures

Got used to shooting at a proper 10 yards with the 1701P today. The steel makes a light chime when I connect with the nicely done starling target.

This. It was really yesterday but didn’t get to post until now. Built this up for Kim yesterday, trigger came out super smooth. Sighted in and then sat in our driveway last night shooting reactive targets. Kim loves it. She actually went looking for a snake this evening ha ha ha.

Fwb 65 and 80. I actually like the 65 with the more sport type grips a little better, also more a feeling of two stage trigger. Subtle differences.

didn't do accuracy testing yet but she still slings!!
