Put off making a post lately because I've done nothing new. Been working on a Crosman 22XX build using a 2260 rifle gas tube. Had to make a couple pieces parts, but nothing we haven't shown before.
Here's the assembled pistol. I'd like to make a rear sight and lose the red dot on this one.
Was a pretty quick build. Painted some stock 2240 grips with truck bed liner, had to make the bolt handle...
a rear cap for the gas tube...
added a trigger stop...
cut down a 2260 (.22cal) rifle barrel and crowned... There was some other stuff like a new hammer spring, bolt hold open magnet, trigger job... Nothing really out of the ordinary.
Cut these many months ago then promptly put them aside after I'd had a bad allergic reaction while working with a different piece of Bolivian rosewood for a knife handle. These were cut from the remnants of the wood left over from the Crosman 150 grip project. I had no issue working with that board, so, I'm unsure if I'm sensitized to rosewood in general--or if it was just an odd piece. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish these, though I may do more carving rather than sanding to shape.
So, there's a rear sight project, probably a front sight to match, a breech, the grips... I made a tentative project list the other day and there must have been two dozen projects on it. We'll see what rises to the top.
