I got the CO2 bug last year, marking the end of a 52 year exclusive to springers. This rifle has been the most fun to customize and tune and thanks to the various forums and mainly to the good people on this forum for making this come about. I named it “Erica” after our founder and because I name all my guns “Eric”, after Michael Palin although you don’t need a licence for a non-PAL rifle. Details: Customized to bulk fill, and run tethered to a 20 oz CO2 bottle. Brass barrel band, oversize bolt handle, brass muzzle weight w/air stripper, Fitco 6-24 x40 AO scope modded to focus at 7 yards-infinity. Internal mods: Polished hammer, bolt, and leade; new seals throughout, custom undersized TP seal to keep it under 500 fps, 2 setscrews in barrel at breach, and a few custom dings in the stock (my bad). I’m really happy with this rifle, it’s very consistent at 480 fps (75F CO2, JSB Exact RS) and rested it will put 5 shots into a single hole at 10 yards. It likes the JSB RS, not so good on CPHP. The first picture is as it was stock from S&A, second with barrel weight, the next pictures as it sits now:
