This is not the all metal 1010 mind you; this is the synthetic polymer version. Meaning mostly plastic: This series of guns is almost univesally reviled, but don't let the bad reputation mislead you - it's far worse than that. I thought I'd get some baseline data - velocity, accuracy, etc. This is round #1. It got as far as the muzzle: I didn't expect a high-quality, choked barrel on such an inexpensive gun. It could, perhaps, benefit from polishing the muzzle crown. I knew the gun was garbage from the start; that's precisely why I got it - to see if it could be made at least tolerable. For anyone that comes into contact with this abomination, here is how it comes apart. First, pull the clip that connects the slide to the piston: Then, move the slide fully rearwards and spread it apart so the slide's ears will clear the frame's notches: Then you can remove the screws and separate the two frame halves. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2009 4:28 pm Brutuz Senior Member Joined: 12 Jan 2009 Posts: 504 Looks like a kewl project Pitty we can't buy or own anything that looks like a "real" rifle or pistol in the Netherlands _________________ Crosman [1300 1322 1377 1377c 1389 2289G Mark II SSP250 2300KT 2400KT ] Sheridan [HB20] Haenel [III 284] SMK [XS78 Deluxish] My vids on Youtube   Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2009 6:30 pm Crosman140 Senior Member Joined: 13 Dec 2008 Posts: 663 Location: USA I own this gun's big brother...or daddy.

It was so weak I could shoot a pellet at the palm of my hand and not leave a mark. I would take it apart and stretch the spring to bring it back to life, but for only a few shots. I would love to have one now and put a better spring in it to see how much better it would do. _________________ Custom Bulked QB78,Webley Nemesis,Crosman 1100 Trapmaster,Sheridan Model C9,Dianna 24   Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2009 7:41 pm Crosman140 Senior Member Joined: 13 Dec 2008 Posts: 663 Location: USA I would shoot at ant hills with mine. Head shots on ants with this remarkable gun was pretty effective. _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 6:31 pm Roy Veteran Member Joined: 01 May 2008 Posts: 129 Location: Wisconsin Slavia, may I assume that the barrel is not rifled ? Good luck accurizing this one. I admire your courage, skills, and talents. Though it must also be said that you have quite a penchant for acquiring crap. Hey, I'm still hoping to see the resto of that non-airgun project.   Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 8:50 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho YOU CAN MODIFY ONE OF THOSE of cousre i have one. not worthy enough to be on my signature though! _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2009 4:39 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Quote: may I assume that the barrel is not rifled You may, indeed. Although "smooth" bore isn't very accurate, either. Quote: you have quite a penchant for acquiring crap If I bought good stuff I'd be afraid to tinker with it, and that would be boring. Besides, I seem to recall that you own several Cummins Tool Sales guns, one with the newspaper ad glued to the stock to prove how cheap it was. Quote: YOU CAN MODIFY ONE OF THOSE (?) Maybe so, maybe not - but trying will be fun. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:40 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho Crosman140 wrote: I would shoot at ant hills with mine.
