Taking a lunch break now, just finished shooting some old Crosman CO2 pistol like this model 112.

Interesting!The Predom Luczik and Walther LP53 are both pretty accurate. Both have been the subject of numerous modifications (ok, improvements) to the springs and seals.
While most people seem to be enamored with the Walther, I prefer the Predom for its steel breech and barrel. It simply feels like a more robust pistol.
Very nice stock! Looks like an Remington XP stock, thinking of doing same with my FN8.After my latest round of rifle/scope-swapping musical chairs, an awesome, vintage, JAPANESE-made 4-16X Bushnell Elite 4200 rifle scope came available at the same time my awesome, vintage, resurrected-from-untimely-demise .22 Falcon custom FN12 pistol was under-scoped with a 3-9X Something. The size and accuracy of the FN12 being more than a little conducive to... in fact, deserving of a nice 16X rifle scope, I was pleasantly surprised at the silver-slipper-esque match.

So despite the late hour, and duly inspired with benefit of a relaxing beverage, I couldn't help shooting a few groups at 50 yards by spotlight. Took only a few shots to zero 1/2" low at 40 yards; whereupon I engaged the 50 yard plate using the bottom duplex-post of the reticle on a (roughly) 1/2" aiming-spot, confident that would be pretty close to trajectory reality. Good call! The first five-shot group with 18.1 grain JSBs at 705 FPS/20 FPE-

Too lazy to dig out the calipers for better quantification after midnight, upon doing so next day the group measured .56" center-to-center. Have I mentioned 'silver-slipper fit'?"Everybody loves a tight fit."
Errrr... ummm...... I mean, "Everybody loves a tight GROUP." Damned spell-check!

I recall Fajen offering custom stocks for XPs in the 1970s, that I believe is what this stock is (on my FN12).
.I have a XP100 in a a Fagin walnut left hand thumb hole stock. Charles
Is the Predom Luczik still accurate? Is it a pistol that has potential to get some use, or would other pistols in the collection be chosen for the informal backyard plinking sessions after a while?
Predom Luczik is a hoot to shoot , i find mine good accuracy . The recoil is up from the grips so the pistol is easy to keep level on target .
This looks looks like something I'd like to try with my 2240 ... upgrade it from single shot to a repeater.
Bnm breech. Standard barrel. You can buy a new pistol from other makes cheaper than it takes to mod these now. I simply love to tinker and tinker I shall.This looks looks like something I'd like to try with my 2240 ... upgrade it from single shot to a repeater.
What breech and barrel are you using here? All these repeater mods are new to me.
