Crosman Bore warning!!!!

So, I’ve wanted to do a multishot, 2250 HPA conversion for a while….and had a few ideas in mind.

Getting hold of multishot breeches for the Crosman has become really quite hard, but with some help from @ped, I managed to secure one

I wanted a decent shot count, so have chosen the drop block/ bottle route, but with a regulated drop block a la ‘Ali-express’ as it keeps the length down.

I wanted a carbine length and balance and weight in hand is important….so chopped the cylinder down which alters the centre of gravity nicely!!!

Needed a nice, accurate barrel, so a 15” BSA Donor barrel, machined to fit ticked that box

And, of course I needed the best Mod and shroud!!!!! So, there was only one choice: a HALerator, as I like to call it!

….going to have a go at creating a custom wooden stock, but for now the standard stock makes it nicely usable and also pretty light!

As usual, couldn’t have done the project without the serious tinkering abilities of @deleted member - who did the cylinder work, the drop block adapter (HALapter), barrel work, valve pinning and ‘tinkering’ and of course the back vented carbon mod!!!!

The end result shoots like a laser!!!!!! I need a better scope and a nice beech stock….. but happy with my work in progress!!!!!

Yeah!!!! I’ve become a bit of a Crosman fan!!! I’ve built up a collection of 11 now…HPA, PCP, CO2 all different, but love em all!!! (This was my first multi-shot breech) All 2259/2260 based - all fettled and shooting really well, with ideas to customise them all Nickel plating has to be done, along with some wood and laminate stocks!! Though nothing like @ped collection

Now that's a good looking crosman project.
I'd love to know how that drop block is secured to the main tube.
I currently have a Norris dropblock on mine which works great but the gun is kind of unweildy for anything but shooting rested

Looks great, always impressed at what members get upto

 

[Danco1987]

Yeah......Really Happy....Love the way it shoots...very accurate, very quiet...really nice cocking action......and has a decent scope on it now........still not got round to the wooden stock, though I do have a blank sat here with a design drawn out on it

Does anyone recall what those HPA conversion things were called that were dangerous?, It's a kind of screw in air receiver, A man in the U.S. was doing the conversion when the whole cylinder came out at speed and shot him through the leg, It was a good few years ago, There was a video on Youtube put up by the two fellas that were converting the gun!

I highly recommend this cheek riser if you have a 3d printer (or can get a member to make you one)!

Cheek Rest for Crosman 1377/1322 with Stock by dustybarn

I originally printed a dovetail rail to mount an optic on a Crosman 1322 air pistol. However, I found that the higher axis of the optical sight prevented a good cheek weld with the comb of the Crosman 1399 accessory shoulder stock. This cheekrest is designed to bolt to the Crosman stock, and...

The stock isn't ideal for scopes.

I thought the hipacs we're only meant for co2 bulk fill originally?

Dunno, I've only seen vids about them being filled with high pressure air, The vid on youtube shows a fellas leg where a hipac escaped from the receiver at high speed and pierced his leg, It looked like around a 3/4" hole straight through!
