crossman 1322 and upgrades as they happen

So the next pieces arrived from Pauly5 couple days ago.
Decent end pins instead of those spring ones. The stock crosman ones are are a pain to get back in
Nicely machined the case harding got a couple scratches, probly in post.
Next move will be dremel, bench press for dremel and I'll work the valve angles for smoother flow. Trim some of the internal threads for slight incress in capacity, trim the valve head and thin the stem to allow better air flow around that section if it, this the vale that the hammer hits.
By a reemer and open up the port between valve and barrel 25% and hope I don't stuff it up.
If works do the 362 as well.

Might see about a softer spring for valve as opposed to increasing hammer spring.
Thoughts on what is best option or any advise from people who have done this before be appresiated.

Lathes are so handy,and some people are so talented with what they make.
I guess we will be seeing some upgrades soon then?

We are looking at getting a lathe at work for building prototypes and custom work that I do (well it's needed for work 50% of the time and gun parts the rest) hahaha

I need to give Pauly5 a shout-out for his extended probe and bolt handle for my project too. Absolutely awesome

Looking good!
