Crosman1701P-RE




 I have been working on this 1701p for a spell, and i thought i would share it. one hole groups at 30 yards measuring .25 inches is the norm with this gun. Talk about no excuses. I have installed a 12 LW Crosman barrel which gained around 25 fps or perhaps a little more over the 10 inch LW. However, i was able to tune it a little hotter from 560-575 fps it was achieving using the 10 inch barrel with out the jumpy, poppy feeling one gets with a pistol. Apparently the added barrel length helped out quite a bit. Now she is running between 600-615 fps over 28-30 shots using Crosman 7.9 cpl's with over 1300 usable psi with out a regulator.  This puts the energy at 6.5 fpe and well bellow the 12 fpe power limit for competition here is in the Sates. It still has plenty of juice to knock targets down with a 4 fpe hit on the paddle at 45 yards, well beyond the 30 yard limit in Pistol Field Target competition. 

Then i found a vintage RWS 2-7 duplex ret made by Hakko. Yes Hakko. a Japanese quality piece of glass that is super clear and ranges to 40 yards quite well. The scope measures 11.5 inches in length and weighs in at a mere 13.5 ounces. This is loopy standards and makes the pistol have a much lower center of gravity. 


Then I designed a knee shelf that meets  Field Target rules for competition. Scott S. machined the knee shelf.


Fred B. made the grips from a factory set. He built up JB wood putty and shaped it to the desired look and feel. I must say, it is simply the best grip i have ever had. I gave the grips a paint job using my fathers favorite color------Orange. :) I just love it, and two club members helped. one with the knee shelf, and the other with the grips.

thank you for taking a looksie..... :)
