I do like that Twinmaster.
How do you find the CP88 for shooting and accuracy?
Still playing "John Wayne" with the lever'd Winchester? |

Yes I'm happy with the Twinmaster now, its got a nice bit of power and is very quite.
The CP88 is quite good for accuracy considering that it is a replica gun, it would be better with a lighter trigger, which I will get to one of these days.
As for the Winchester! I'm still playing with that, I have changed every piece of plastic except the butt plate and the trigger. at the moment I am making a accessory case and rifle stand for it, I'll post photo's when finished.

Hi Kdoubt
The Twinmaster I bought as an Action Co2 model, which althrough very accurate looked a bit crappy, so the first thing I did was to put a suppressor (silencer) on it as had a crack like a rim fire .22 I do a lot of shooting in my back Garden and if the neighbours don't hear anything there happy, the barrel is floating on the Action so I fitted a shroud over the barrel and fitter the silencer to the shroud, the rear of the shroud is sealed with an o-ring to the barrel so the barrel can still float.
The silencer is a 1/3 fold back type (One third slides back over the barrel)which I made, it's 8" long and 1" dia with 3 baffels, and all the sound you can hear is a dull "phff" when fired just like the movies.
I use a Walther MRD red dot sight, fitted Combat Grips heavily modded with a dremal tool, also modded the internals to increase the output from about 360fps to 550fps.
And thats about it, instead of a crappy looking gun that shoots well, I now have a mean machine that shoots well.

Hi Kdoubt as far as I can remember, and I don't like to think about the cost sometimes. The Twinmaster Action was £165.00, a pair of Combat grips were £30.00 if you can get them, the Walther Red Dot was £49.99, and the weaver rail was £15.00 the rest of the bits, Silencer,Compensater breach lock and barrel shroud I made myself, so the total cost is £264.99, $hit! I hope the wife dosen't see this post.
Here's a later photo with a new breach lock fitted.

It looks very attractive, your twinmaster. For that money, I'd go and shoot matches with it, as it is well capable of that. I've learned that they're pretty good trainers. |

I do still have a QB78 Bhargav but it's a bit cold for it at the moment. Now it shoots very well but when I bought it it was rubbish, I gave it a complete strip down,polish, trigger job, and lube, I had to cut 2" off the barrel to get rid of some faulty rifing near the end.
