That's not an Air Pistol....now THIS is an Air Pistol

[terry mc]

I just added an Izzy IZH-46 to my collection and wow it is a fantastic pistol.
I now shoot it more than anything else I own, the luxury of being able to shoot in your back yard.
Best practice tool I have.

Actually, I've have been shooting my Crosman 1377/99 Carbine a lot
For what it is, it IS very accurate
Have taken 3 Squirrels in the last week or so with this lil honey:

I never even saw this sub forum - didn't realize there were other airgun nuts here. Like DenStinett, I have squirrel issues. I built this PCP from a $49.00 Crosman 2240 a couple years back. Uses a HiPac air tube in place of C02 and I fill it from a scuba tank. I get 10 shots in the plateau with a 2500psi fill and averages about 690fps with 18gr pellets. The only thing left of the original 2240 is the tube below the riser block.

It has a Marauder trigger/grip assembly (I wish I could get triggers like that on my CZ), custom grips, Green Mountain 12" barrel, Disco valve, a power adjuster from someone I can't remember the name of now, riser from someone else whose name escapes me, steel breech from Crosman and a cheap 2-7x NCStar scope with the parallax adjusted to 25 yards. There's no AO so it's a manual reset and lock thing and makes it usable down to 10 yards.

I use .45 holes in targets for bullseyes and at 20 yards, the holes stay the same size. It's the most accurate pistol I own.

The first year I had it, I cleaned out 39 ground squirrels that were literally undermining the foundation of my house - no joke. And I topped that off with another 25 Norway rats the size of small Possums. No love lost there.

My longest one-shot kill was 54 yards (lasered). Right down the ear canal everytime. I take most of my shots from a rear shooting bag on my kitchen window sill. I know, great white hunter right?   The suppressor means they have no idea where it's coming from. It just lets out a little pffft. I built a carbine using the same basic components on a Crosman 2250 but it's got a Simmons 6.5-20x scope. It's not as accurate as the pistol.

WOW, what an awesome piece you have there AWJ
Actually, the number one squirrel getter (besides you) is 1SOW

Thanks Den, it was a lot of fun learning about how these work. The pistol is kind of a Franken-gun, but it started looking better and better as I discovered how well it shot.  I only see about a half dozen squirrels around the house nowadays and they're VERY nervous rodents.

I have a buddy that's gone completely airgun nuts and he's got a really nice 5000psi pump for refilling my scuba tank. Easy to refill and everytime I go over there he's got something new. His latest purchase was a .70 caliber monster that shoots round balls. He only gets 2-3 shots per 4500psi fill but he's getting around 1000 ft/lbs with those big lead balls. Makes my paltry 19fpe seem laughable.

Airguns have come a long way.

Here is a pair of Crosman's. top one is a modded .177 with a walther barrel and a real tack driver. bottom one is a mix of parts in .22. both have power adjusters so I can get 800 fps out of them. you can get alot of stuff out of UK for these crosman's. both gun's have steel receiver's and other accesories. just a couple little toys
