: Some pics of B21 from Mike M and howie rework
: howie1a May 29, 2009, 08:50:26 AM

I got this B21 from Mike M and have been thinking of getting a B21 for some time now but didn't like the 10 lb weight or the 4 ft length and the 20 inch barrel but since I could get this rifle from Mike as a fixer uper it was worth while for lets see what you can do with it. I have shotened the barrel to 12 inches and it now weights 8 lbs and is 38 inches ling a lot better and shoots like it is on rails with crosman hollow points. I also re finished the stock as well as tareing it down to do a lube tune it was fine inside and the seal was good and  a good clean up and a relube and it was ready to go but the hardest thing was to get the lath groves ( machine marks ) off the barrel so i could  reblue it and  to get rid of the parkerrized type finish and bring it to a nice blue. see the pics howie
