Hello everybody! My name is Dave and I'm an airgunholic.  I cought the sickness about 3 years ago when I purchased a Crosman AS2250XT. It opened me up to a whole new world of enjoyment. A month after buying the rifle I started modding it. Caught the power bug and got her tuned to spit out .22 14.3gr pellets @ 957fps on 1600psi
Here's 007
While building 007 I wanted to build a bigbore but I bought another AS2250XT and decided to part it out and make a custom .25 cal. This build was more fun to do cause I made a few of the parts that are on it. It's my AS2560XT but I call it PSK. She kicks harder than a 10/22 and spits out 25.39gr pellets at 990-1000fps on 2100psi of air.
Well I started buying parts to put towards my big bore project when out of the blue I get a .25cal Mrod for my birthday and the parts I bought will work on this so I just put them on. I haven't touched the factory settings yet but the plan is to get this thing to scream. I'm left handed so I made a left handed bolt handle attachment. It's a prototype but it works great! With a 16shot 871.6 fps average using a 25.39gr pellet this Mrod is smooth and accurate. This is my Pigeon Sniper
That's it! I've still got plans for a .357 or maybe a .45 cal. bigbore. Airguns are just too cool! My friends that made fun of me and told me to by real guns (powder burners which I do have a few of) had a change of heart after shooting my airguns and now they want me to build them some!

I'll bet half the guys that say that also bowhunt...and you can tell them to quit piddling with big springs and get a real gun. Then maybe they'll "get" that its about the challenge and the mechanical fascination with a gun that is ultimately powered (or at least can be if you use a scuba tank) by muscle power input.
cheers,
Rob |
