killer rabbit (r1000) Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 i haven'd done any to mine yet, but i do have a few in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theskyfox Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Maybe they don't quite count towards "Mods"...but these make it look great....the first thing I did to my Engima Deluxe was Wierauch Silencer, Simmons AETEC Scope (with BKL mounts) and Sunshade, Harris Bipod and Leather sling...looks Great now! lol and shoots just as well! -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiiish1987 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 When i had my qb78 i thought the stock was ugly, especialy with the inch thick layer of....stuff on it. I decided to give it the ags pcr1 works. It looked pretty good but i forgot about the weight difference and it became grossly front heavy. Luckily i had some old fishing weights banging around. melted them down in a mould and strapped the finishing product neatly on the end of the butt. problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Squirrel Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I've bullpupped a Crosman 1077. Added cutdown skeleton stock, cut the barrel to 14", enlarged the chamber, transferred the trigger mech with two bike spokes and a Crosman Repeatair pistol trigger. One open reddot sight later, I've got a very compact 12-shot repeater. 18.25" from muzzle to rear of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 the best mod i have ever had done to any of my rifles is getting my spring rifles tuned, as long as you have the work done by someone who knows what they are doing the rifle can be turned into a totaly different rifle. Im lucky in the fact tht i have a very good gunsmith who comes to the club with us, so all my work is done with him, his prices are good, his work is excellent just dont ask when it will be done ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 depends whether you consider them mods, myself I reckon more of a neccesity? ie my two air rifles both mk1 rapids change barrels,change stock have the "gubbins" worked / tweaked polished, re ported, quietened, turn them to full fac spec of 30lbs and 40lbs respective, whilst at the same time retaining a VERY useable shot count and a 400cc cylinder, then sticking awt silencers on both, and have it all done at less than the cost of an off the shelf fac rapid, to me = perfection cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Do you consider paintball markers air weapons? If you do, there's not much I haven't done: Replaced regulators for higher flow models, bored out valve chambers, replaced triggers and shortened/lightened pulls, replaced bolts with PTFE ones with higher flows, different barrels, differenty air systems, the list goes on. As for normal air rifles, I made a sling from a Dell Laptop case for my current rifle. Very comfy! Wookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Shot Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I made myself a stock for my S310 - American Black Walnut, R/H thumbhole, with pistol grip. It has stippling on the pistol and fore end grips. I made it a coupl of inches longer than the standard length stock 'coz i wasn't entirely happy with the original length - don't get me wrong, i like the original and still use it. But i felt that the rifle would benefit from a bit of wooden protection around the filling valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_nick Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Not a mod but an essential add on, any very good silencer. Best chuckle ever is when you nail a rabbit (ok I hate bunnies, its not a secret, just a personality flaw. It probably had something to do with a traumatic event in my childhood.) and its friend looks at his mate as if to say "what the hells wrong with you?" as you reload.

Wookie :yp: anything that uses a compressed air source (or other gas) to eject a projectile is legally classed as an air weapon, this includes spring-loaded plastic bb guns. you have the right idea & i'd love to hear more :yp: love the signature dr nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 My mate had his Mk3 Daystate bulpupped. Wont say anything about his Air Ranger, His Airwolf, the Steyer or anything else that has modded....Lets just say that Daystate were very interested....... He has done various "Tweaks" to my X2. Hes venomised my Tx200 and I think that I might just change the barrel to a .177.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer rabbit (r1000) Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) i'm thinking of having my bsa spitfire used for parts to a completely new rifle - it will supply the barrell & trigger / hammer mech. forget the rest, other parts will be built from scratch. will include a 1l american-made air cylinder (air-arms type), which could give me around 700 shots at 11fp off one charge! (i know of a man who can ). i haven't decided what to call it yet, any ideas? Edited May 7, 2006 by killer rabbit (r1000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Best mod I ever did was BINNING a B2 it looked so much better in the bin :yp: Other than that modding my old Stealths was an absorbing task i just never knew when to quit till the SGC came along Then they went into the cabinet to collect dust till i sold them Also modded my Falcon FN19 and am going to mod my QB78 also. May i point out these are all asthetical mods and NOT power mods though LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
