He's a fire-arm guy. He didn't even know what he was giving away. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 8:43 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands This is taking to darn long now. The guns been done for already two weeks, but the guy still didn't ship them. I'm thinking about paying him a visit with one of my big friends. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 3:37 pm Starfish Member Joined: 06 Apr 2008 Posts: 12 Location: Belgium Maek sure the thing doesn't explode in your face or something. There must be a catch or the guy must have tougth the thing was wasted! I mean... c'mon... a dutchy giving away something for free Anyway, have fun with it   Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 1:18 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Oh, it's a different guy I'm talking about. The first guy gave me a free SSP250 he had laying around the gun-chambre. I also bought, am buying (I didn't transfer the money yet) E 200,- in Crosman 22XX (custom) components, which by the way make a full gun excluding stock. A guy at the dutch forum offered to refurbish the 250, and he would also take a look at the interns of the 22XX, as it was still leaking a bit. He already notified me that both guns were pretty much done, however, he didn't ship the stuff yet. And dutchies giving things away for free? That happens more often then you think. We gave Belgium away for free. (Not really, we've actually had a bit of war on that). _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 4:25 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Picked both up yesterday, and spend my time well into the night to get it together. Got the SSP 250 in one piece in about 30 minutes, but the Tactical Sniper (which is hardly anything close to a sniper right now) took me until 02.00, and it still didn't fit together well. I'll post some pictures of the supposed problem (when my laptop returns) and the fact that it's not fitting on streight, but it seems to be tilted over to the left. Anyone else encountered this problem? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 4:53 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND broommaster2000 wrote: The first guy gave me a free SSP250 he had laying around the gun-chambre.

You could have bought a new gun for that. PS: Is the first guy selling you the parts? PPS: And another thing Anton, can you get all those Dutch farmers to stop "Muck Spreading", with the east wind we can smell it in England Al _________________   Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 9:03 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands No, certainly not a new gun for that cash, at least, not in those parts. Boss Max Flow Valve Boss Bulk Valve Crosman 2240 frame. Crooked Barn 24" .22 loop. Crooked Barn Ultimate Breech . Crooked Barn Ultimate Bolt. Crosman 2260 airtube Crosman 2250 forearm Jil Irvin Custom full length Shroud + Muzzle Weight. And some wood, old barrel, several crosman rear and front sights, a CO2 bottle for bulk filling and some other original parts. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 9:43 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Yes quite a list there Anton, it should look pretty smart when finished. are you getting all these bits in the Netherlands or from the States? Al _________________   Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 4:27 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I already got the parts. That's what was so darn expensive. Some of the parts will probably be sold again, as I'm not fond of huge muzzle diddlies and barrel shrouds. I like them a bit fatter then normally. Also thinking of a before mentioned (not in this thread) camo paint. Got plans enough, but first I'll try to get that 22XX firing. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2008 11:01 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands So, here are the first pictures. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2008 2:08 pm 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 No carbine stock?   Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2008 5:31 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Still working on that. I just got the gun here. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 2:59 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Well, got the 22XX to shoot today, and it works pretty good. Loud bangs though, and I'm gonna chrony it on sunday. I'll keep you guys up to date! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon May 19, 2008 6:21 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands The 22XX has been Chrono'd at 180 Mps, with Gamo crap pellets but it's leaking. It does about 5-8 usable shots from one fill, so I keep refilling from the PB-tank. I have to put some testing to the darn thing before it's really working well. I hope to get at least more then 200 Mps from the thing, so there's a lot of tuning to be done, probably. I recently tested it at 25 meters, and it does pretty well. I still need to do official groupings, however, it's so darn light that it's pretty hold sensitive. It's still a .22. _________________ BIG GAP A big Surprise!     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Picture Gallery You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 2 of 2   Goto page Previous  1, 2 All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
