   Using 18 grain jsb.
Squares about 25 mm. I had once tried heat forming some pvc pipe into a cheek piece that could be be adjusted up and down by tightening screws through top bar of stock.

	I just learnt where my jaw had to be on stock as that's what touches it on 1322. I should imagine that it wouldn't be too hard to make a band that sits around the air cylinder with a square base to screw a bi pod into of you wanted (least with your tool access) Pauly. Probly be quite handy for laying in wait,popping birds from balconies etc. What weight pellets were you using? How big is the square on that target?

	I had a chance to shoot the pistol at 32m today. I had put the stock on and mounted a small rifle scope. It really needs a cheek riser as my chin is all that touches as the scope is so high, but I gave it a go anyway. It's actually great to use like this, and it was an enjoyable little shoot. I put 2 targets out at 20 and 32 m. You can see the orange squares on the pellets in the photo. I was shooting off my raised knee sitting in my ute, out the window, so not a totally stable position. There was a brisk blustery wind coming at me, so you can see the pellets hitting slightly left. The groups look kinda bad, but you can see a couple of good clusters there that happened once I settled in a bit. I am quite happy with this, as I know that with a proper shooting position and improved cheek support, that this is quite an accurate little gun, and 30 m is a huntable range. After thinking about hunting pistols a lot lately, I feel that for hunting, having something with a bit of length is good, as I would tend to support it against something like sticks, or a tree rather than freehand, so this is easier to do with a longer pistol.

	Balance is good, although it's not heavy at all. Needs a higher cheek rest. I like the idea of making a walnut forestock along the tank to give it a touch of height. I don't mind the black and metal, but a nice walnut is my preference. weather too bad here to go anywhere this week end.

	ouch... All that black definitely makes the cylinder noticable. Think those brown pistol grips toned it down a alot more. Still looks good. If it preforms as as well as it looks, that's easily gonna be a 30m bird gun. Whats the balance like with stock on?

	wouldn't that be hard on the probe? Noisier than just closing it? Run the risk of wedging the pellet if it didn't sit straight. I know with the 1322 I like charged, then decocking the bolt slowly, pushing the pellet in with bolt, then leaving the bolt loose ( sitting in firing position, not locked but saftey on) which allows me to keep the hammer spring from sitting under tension as I wait or stalk. Extend probe (Pauly made) needs to be cocked to allow the pellet to fit, so no chance of pellet falling out if not cocked. Plus the probe pushes it in far enough it doesn't come loose. Cocking is just pull back, push forward, turn downwards in one short, quick, hardly noticable finger movement. But that's just my view. Could be a good set up for all I know never having tried a button release bolt.

	Sweet pair! now... how about spring loaded bolt so you pull back and lock open to load it then a button releases the bolt forward ready to fire??

	If I had a big enough machine I could do more. Blueing sounds good, but don't think alu responds to that. I am coming up with a trigger frame made out of alu plate, or even a block including trigger frame that the air tube attaches too. Ideas are great, it's surprising that although some seem ambitious, there are concepts and ideas to be taken from them.

	That bluing you get from heat treating would pretty awsome too, l think. Another possibity could be to bore the cylinder tube in a solid square block of Aluminium and then shape the outside for grip. Just throwing random ideas. Pistols are great as is, but you know arm chair spectator and all that. 👍 Edited by kruzaroad - 14 Dec 2023 at 9:10am
