working on my ruger air hawk , agin..... also started a new prolect
« on: April 15, 2009, 08:33:32 AM »
i got tierd of the camo i did on it and striped and sanded it to bare wood  . i forgot how much filler was in the stock , but i think it looks ok besides that . i used a minwax honey color stain and then a few coats of krylon spray gloss clear  . i some how lost the barrel shround i made for it , not sure were i put it .i was thinking of just geting or building a muzzle break for it .

my new project is a older metal daisy 880 i got for $5 at a pawn shop . it was said to be non working but i oiled it up with some pelgun oil and it shoots just fine . i wil get some pics of that later .

cant find the edit button , so here is the pic of the daisy 880 . the sights were messed up and the shroud was dented . i filled in the dents and cut down the barrel and added a steel muzzle break . the scope is a 4x20 bushnell .

I was in a shop yesterday where I picked up a nice older 880 for $20 a month ago.  Shoots better than I expected.  They had another almost just like it on the rimfire rack.  Didn't pump air, though, but I would bet it was dry like yours.  I resisted that one.  Fun little guns.

i cut the barrel down another couple inchesrec rowned it  and added a muzzle brake that i am working on . shoots nice it seems more stable than before . the muzzle is about 1/4 inch from the end of the muzzle brake .

i still need to redo the part of the stock that is still green , how did i miss that lol .

sorry :) . its worth it though i love short barreled springers . they just handle better . if your crosman is the quest i think it would turn out nice my borhter in law has one it is a nice gun . he wants to get a GTR III trigger and afiter i went over the guns and lubed it a bit it is shooting really nicely .
