Just registered and glad I found this forum. I recently got back into airguns with a crosman 1377 that i bought to accompany my 20ga and slingshot. I made a better trigger for it and modified the valve and well, I ended up shooting it more than the 20ga. Now I dont even carry the 20ga at all. So now i do all my hunting with an air pistol and slingshot . Im hooked on silent hunting. Just bought an izh-46m, that Im gonna hopefully mod/build into a mean little hunter. I'll post some pictures of it when the build starts.

Hope you'll have a good time around here! What kind of game do you hunt? And why did you joint this particular forum, if I may ask? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2008 5:10 pm BirdMan Member Joined: 06 Dec 2008 Posts: 32 I hunt birds mostly. Quail, chukar, and grouse primarily. Sometimes I go after squirrels. I looked around at different airgun forums that had a hunting section. This one seemed to have the best layout and more professional looking than the others. Yes, I do judge books by their covers lol.

Im giving the gun to a co-worker and then going to help him build it up some more so i'll have better pictures later. the trigger is made from 1 piece of aluminum. The only thing i really did to make it perform better is add more meat to the back to reduce pull length. I then used a softer spring and rode it on a nylon button.

Is it glued on, or is there a mechanical fastener that I can't see? _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2008 1:32 pm BirdMan Member Joined: 06 Dec 2008 Posts: 32 Slavia wrote: Very nice. Is it glued on, or is there a mechanical fastener that I can't see? Neither. It was machined from a solid block of aluminum.
