Here it is. It's super light weight and really steadies out my shot placements. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I designed it to where I can change out the sections to shorten the stock creating a mini-carbine. _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 8:36 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands It looks a bit odd, but it seems pretty balanced. I like what you did with the polished metal. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 11:23 am Crosman140 Senior Member Joined: 13 Dec 2008 Posts: 663 Location: USA broommaster2000 wrote: It looks a bit odd, but it seems pretty balanced. I like what you did with the polished metal. The pot calling the kettle black. It's more for practical use to steady the gun making for better shots on tree rats. I'm not out to impress them, just to head-shot them. Oh, and I did it without modifying a single part of my gun, which was one of the fabrication issues I was facing. _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 1:56 pm Bozo Veteran Member Joined: 29 Jun 2009 Posts: 107 Location: The remote parts of El Dorado County, CA I like the design; simple, clean. Does the bolt head/nut poking you in the shoulder bother you at all? If there was much recoil it probably would. Maybe you could tap the butt piece and do away with the nut? How did you attach it to the gun; is there a threaded opening there that you took advantage of? I'm not very familiar with 1377s. _________________ Sheridan Blue Streak , Barska Red Dot sight, .20 Gamo Big Cat 1200, 4x32 Ruger scope, .177   Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 4:36 pm Crosman140 Senior Member Joined: 13 Dec 2008 Posts: 663 Location: USA Bozo wrote: I like the design; simple, clean.

This thing has 0 recoil and all I use the should stock for is for steadying the shots. I don't pull the gun in tight, but allow it to rest comfortably against my shoulder. Works very well.

With mine, I made a piece that slides on snugly from a piece of pipe fitting. When I want to remove it, it slides off and leaves the gun looking normal. _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 10:31 pm kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand As long as it works is what matters...

Nice, clean and good looking and it goes well with your over all gun design. I think yours is a candidate for http://airgunartisans.com/ _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2010 4:50 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Yup, pretty nice stuff. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2010 11:52 am 1377x Member Joined: 03 Mar 2010 Posts: 38 Location: upper midwest usa i like it good job!   Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2010 10:33 pm walter Veteran Member Joined: 12 Nov 2010 Posts: 181 Location: towson md. looks cool, but do you get a good cheek weld? looks a bit thin for comfort. goes well with your pistol though. good job. walt. _________________ modified 1377c. first gen.

When you pull it up for aiming, the red dot steadies right out and hardly moves at all. I could hold it there all day if need be. But with the red dot sight, no need. I went for these things... 1. functionality...I wanted it to be a simple shoulder stock design that did its job 2. light weight...it is mostly made of wooden dowel and aluminum...the entire rig with gun and red dot weighs less than 2.25 lbs 3. easily attached...remove one nut and bolt and the stock comes right off returning the gun to pistol form 4. Looks...the appearance of the stock was the last part to be considered in my design and held the least amount of importance. By using aluminum, I was able to match the metal parts of the gun, while utilizing a very sturdy, yet light weight material. I then simply painted the rest of the stock black. All in all, I ended up with a pistol that can be transformed into a carbine in a matter of seconds. It all fits neatly into a soft-sided briefcase along with pellets, glasses, targets and field glasses. All in all, a nice little setup. _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2010 8:03 am packrat Senior Member Joined: 16 Nov 2009 Posts: 882 Location: Out in the woods...Ellabell, GA.

That's what I'm talkin" about..I do not have, or ever plan to have a "safe queen". Every airgun I own today was meant to be used, one way or another, plinking, target shooting, hunting, whatever....but never to be looked at. It's about the function for me, not the form, in my case..All the adjustability you incorporated is what will have you enjoyinf that gun day after day after day...and ya won't be worried about it getting rained on, or scratched...whatever.. read a post yesterday about a fellow that cancelled his squirrel hunting trip cause there was an 80 percent chance of rain, and he was worried that his gun"might get wet".....to each his own Enjoy the heck out it man, look slike ti would be big fun to me!! _________________ HEY !!
