UP-DATE # 9 : Flat Wadcutter Pellets : (1) JSB Match Jumbo Diabolo .22 cal. 13.73 gr. = 445 FPS at max 10 pumps
(2) Gamo Match .22 cal. Training 15.43 gr. = 438 FPS at max 10 pumps
Pointed Pellets : (1) RSW Super Point Extra .22 cal. 14.5 gr. = 438 FPS at max 10 pumps
(2) H&N Excite Spike .22cal. 15.74 gr. = 428 FPS at max 10 pumps
NOTE : The JSB , RSW , and the H&N pellets all shot perfect Dead-On at the target at 15 yards . The Gamo pellets shot poorly .
They would not shoot dead-on at the Bulls-eye , instead they would always and I mean with every shot the pellet would
always hit high one inch and two inches left from the Bulls-eye . In order to use these pellets I would have to use different
mil-dots on my scope to hit the Bulls-eye Dead-on , I will save these Pellets for last . Both the Wadcutters and Pointed
pellets really made big holes in my target , now I need to see what kind of damage they will do to pests .

UP-DATE # 8 : Never thought of shooting pests with wadcutters until I read irides’ article on shooting sparrows with his new Vulcan .177 .
After shooting nearly 1500 domed pellets of varies grains in my .22 cal pump carbine I was getting real low on pellets and
decided to try both wadcutters and pointed pellets so I ordered from Pyramyd Air one tin of each . Wadcutters : Gamo
Match 15.43 gr. and JSB Match Jumbo Diabolo 13.73 gr. pellets . Pointed pellets : H&N Excite 15.74 gr. and RWS Super-
Point Extra 14.5 gr. Read that the pointed pellets were designed for low powered PCP guns like mine . When they come
I’ll chrony them first in order to compare my chrony results with the domed pellets that I have been shooting . Really
like the idea of the potential carnage that the wadcutters may do to the pigeons I’m killing at my daughters house , most
shots are within 10 yards . Nothing wrong with the dome pellets I’m using now just thought to try something new and see
how the new pellets will stand-up to the dome pellets . So far I have killed 14 pigeons at Sarahs’ house and still have around
another hundred or so that need to be removed . Shot one that was on the eave of the house and looking down at me , the
pellet made a groove all the way up the pigeons’ beck and entered its head , I thought that was a really cool shot .

UP-DATE #7 : Since new day-light time is on its’ way decided to change out the Bushnell scope on my little shooter to a
CV LIFE 2.5 x 40E Red/Green illuminated scope with a Red Laser . Scope zeroed-in at 20 yds. and the laser is also zeroed
dead – on . Now when I go to my daughters’ house in the early morning when it is still dark outside I will be able to shoot
the pigeons that are roosting on her roof , a little bonus , no sun-light needed . :4:

UP-DATE # 6 : Replacement Center Point Red Dot scope from Crosman only lasted 5 days before it also suffered from the same problem
of losing scope settings , was zeroed Dead-On at 15 yards , then started shooting 1 3/4 inches high and 1 inch to the left .
Called Crosman told them I was sending it back and not to send me another one , instead just send me a refund and they
said okay . Had a UTG compact 4×32 scope as a back-up , it turned out to be worthless as well , only lasted 3 days . So as
a last resort I removed my 20 year old Bushnell 1×10 scope from my .22 rim fire squirrel rifle and put it on my 1300KT gun .
Zeroed it at 15 yards and its works great , too bad Bushnell doesn’t make this scope anymore , I only paid $10.00 for it back
then in the old days . So now I think I will look for a 2.5-10×40 or maybe a 4×32 scope for my squirrel gun . :4: :biggrinn:

UP-DATE # 5 : My new CP Multi-Tac Red Dot sight came in today and since I left the original mounts on my gun it was a very easy and fast
procedure in zeroing in the new sight with the JSB 15.89 gr pellets . Everything is now DEAD-ON and my little shooter GOTH is ready to
dance with the first pest that shows up .
Pb0201 glad you liked how I re-did my stock , it really fells better than the original plastic stock it came with and with donnyfl TATSU
silencer and 11mm adapter with max pumping my gun is so quiet if you are 15 yards away you don’t hear it , now that is what I call quiet .

Man that’s well done.like I said going to do something similar.i can’t post pics or would share,but thanks for sharing yours.COOl!!!
UP-Date # 4 : Well after 4 months had my CP Multi-Tac Red Dot sight went bad , for some reason unknown after turning the sight off
it lost its’ zero setting . Re-sighted it three times and turned it off and it would lose its’ zero . I called Crosman and told them the
problem and they said just mail it back to them and they would send me a new one , it has a lifetime warranty . They said I could
keep the battery and mounts so I kept the mounts on the gun so when the new sight arrives it will be just a quick drop-in and ready
to zero-in with the heavier JSB 15.89 gr pellets . :biggrinn:

UP-Date # 3 : Replaced the (3/16″) forearm pumping lever pivot pin with a after market (7/32″) custom pivot pin . Bored out the 3/16″
hole on the shroud to 7/32″ , the lever hole was already at 7/32″ . Why Crossman put 2 different size holes for attaching the pivot pin
to the pumping lever I will never know . What I do know is that because they did it made pumping the gun very hard . Now that I have
both holes the same 7/32″ size connecting the new 7/32″ pivot pin to the shroud and to the pumping lever it makes it 80% easier to pump .
Now I really enjoy shooting my little shooter so much better , really hated having to pump this gun before I did this mod . Wish I had done
this mod first before I put 500 pellets through it . Also , I have been given 2 empty EPI-PEN plastic containers , they will hold 250 pellets
each . Might find them at Ebay or Amazon ? :biggrinn: :biggrinn: :biggrinn:

Trying to do something similar. Any pics?
UP-Date # 2 : Got Donny’s 11mm adapter and Tatsu for my little shooter , had to bore out the adapter to a true 11.1mm I.D. / 7/16 inch I.D. .
Not a big deal to re-bore , adapter now fits perfect on the barrel . The Tatsu is a great little silencer and reduces my muzzle report to just a
Puff and can hardly be heard 15 feet away , really has made my gun totally backyard friendly . My neighbors where in their backyard talking
while I was shooting targets in my backyard and as I could hear them clearly they heard nothing and didn’t even know that I was shooting my
gun until I told them . They were really surprised that they didn’t hear me shooting my gun . Another great silencer by Donny and since it
works great on my Crossman pump it should work very well on the Crossman line of pump guns . :biggrinn: :biggrinn: :biggrinn:
Thanks Donny for a great silencer , FROM : THE BIRDMAN
Hey any pics?
UP-DATE : Replaced the plastic Crosmans’ butt stock with a modified ACE ARFX/ARFX-E AR 15/M16 Skeleton Stock , also made it
Telescopic so now I can make my stock 1/2″ longer and 2 1/4″ shorter than the original plastic stock . It really makes shooting this
gun much more enjoyable and comfortable when shoulder . Talked to Donny and he is going to make me an adapter for his TATSU
which will be another mod for my little shooter . Have new mod valve and magnum hammer spring which I will be installing soon .
As to day , I have taken out 15 pests including a crow at 15 yds . This little carbine is now my #1 close range pest eradicator . :5:

UP-DATE # 10 : Haven’t had the opportunity to test the new pellets on any pests yet and I wanted to get some idea of the
potential damage that each pellet would create so I decided to set up 4 pomegranates as targets for each
new pellet . All of the pomegranates used were about the size of an orange . I choose to use pomegranates
as targets because of their thick skin and dense bodies . Flat wadcutters : (1) Gamo Match pellet made a
good entry hole and stopped in the middle of the fruit , (2) JSB Match Jumbo Diabolo pellet performed the
same as the Gamo Match pellet . Pointed Pellets : (1) H&N Excite Spike pellet made a larger entry hole
than the Flat Wadcutters and went completely through the pomegranate , (2) RSW Super Point Extra pellet
was even more devastating than the H&N pellet , it split the pomegranate completely open and blew the
top of the fruit off . Targets were set at a distance of 10 yards since that is the basic distance that
I’m shooting pigeons at my daughters house .
