The 1377 Carbine Project: A Temporary Bolt Handle

The Crosman bolt handle kept working loose and was a bit small for my fleshy fingers so I decided to make a new one. I say "Temporary" because I think that I'll probably end up making a slightly longer and somewhat more graceful version of the one shown here.

A piece of 5/8" free machining steel, left over from the adjustable piston project, was turned down to 3/16", then a section further to thread #8-32 and a bit roughed out freehand into a curve, and finished with files.

Using the die holder again.

The finished thread.

Flipped in the 4 jaw chuck and turned down, I think just a hair over 1/2". I should have just started with 1/2" stock, but it was one of those art projects...

Freehand turned to a rough ball.

Chucked in a collet, filed and sanded.

For some perverse reason I decided to drill and countersink the end, similar to an older Sheridan bolt handle. I don't really like the effect. You can see the tinier and less ergonomic handle that came with the steel breech, above. Notice that one thread is deformed, the new handle has far more thread engagement.

I chucked the bolt in my cordless drill and buffed it with some Fabuluster.

Shiny, blurry (you try focusing on a mirror!) and much better than stock. Not sure what I'll change, but probably a longer transition between the handle and the threads. Or something. Not sure. Like I said, it's "art". Total time was probably around a half hour.

It is long enought to comfortably be actuated by my finger. That I like.

The 1377 Carbine Project: An Adjustable Piston

I finally worked up the nerve to modify the internals of the 1377 carbine this week.

The stock valve assembly and piston.

Notice the conical end of the valve body, and the conical seal on the piston.

The valve was disassembled. Notice the very rough turning on the valve body!

Facing the end of the valve intake end.

Nice and flat with a fine finish.

Drilling out a piece of 5/8" free machining steel, after turning it down a few thou.

Tapping it 1/2"-20 by hand, aligned on the lathe.

The finished thread. I then flipped it around and finished the other end to the same diameter.

Turning down another piece of steel to 1/2" (minus about 10 thou).

I threaded it by hand using a die. No pics of that as I was cursing and sweating all the while. I now have a note "Buy good quality 1/2"-20 tpi die" on my to-do list. I then made a relief groove with the parting tool. Too much chatter.

I ground a radiused tool to do the o-ring groove on the other end. I found I got the best control by rotating the chuck by hand as I plunged the tool into the work a few thousandths at a time.

I put some aluminum sheet around the threads to protect them from the chuck and turned down the body a few thousandths and deburred everything.

Drilling six radial holes to allow adjustment. This turned out to be wholly wrong, I needed at least eight holes to easily adjust the piston when assembled in the carbine. Live and learn.

Making a 3/16" dia pocket in the threads.

A piece of nylon rod was pressed in and then cut off to the thread diameter. This allows enough interference so that the adjustments don't become undone. The Daisy 717 uses a similar nylon patch.

I used an edge finder (I use them often on these projects, did you know that I sell them?) to find the centerline of the rod and the end.

Drilling the pivot hole.

Milling the slot halfway through on each side. Notice the use of a dial indicator to keep the length of the slot consistent.

The finished adjustable piston.

And mounted in the carbine. I only needed to adjust it about 1/8th of a turn to get it to touch the valve face. Notice the adjustment hole problem...

Anyway, the reason for making the new piston was to both increase the rigidity of the piston and to eliminate excess headspace, thus pushing more air into the valve on each stroke, yielding slightly higher pressures. Pumping effort did not increase, although there's a small amount of vacuum that needs to be overcome on the return stroke.

Using the chronograph I found that I got the following averages:

Before:
3 pumps: 421 fps
5 pumps: 523 fps
10 pumps: 645 fps

After:
3 pumps: 450 fps
5 pumps: 568 fps
10 pumps: 724 fps

Crosman Premier Light pellets, 7.9 grains, were used for all tests.

I Do Next to Nothing to a Crosman SSP 250

As dedicated readers already know, I purchased a Crosman SSP 250 at a local garage sale for $15.00. It was missing a few important pieces, the loading gate, and the seals for each of the two barrels. Derrick managed to find a spare loading gate, seals for all three possible calibers, and a .20 cal. barrel. Total cost was a paltry $20.00. All I had to do was install the new loading gate and do some cleanup work as the pistol surprisingly had good seals.

The SSP 250. SSP stands for Silhouette Sports Pistol. The brass barrel is the .20 cal one, the .177 and .22 are both blued steel.

The barrel seals and new loading gate. The loading gate is prone to breakage.

The gas cap. It does not seal the end of the tube, the cartridge seals directly on the valve.

I started by loosening the allen screw in the breech (sorry, forgot to take a pic) and removed the front sight. The front sight is also missing a shroud, but it doesn't need it to function.

I slid the barrel out. The turned down section is so the sight screw can pass through the barrel housing.

The barrel band setscrew is loosened so that the barrel hosuing can be removed.

Two screws hold the forearm on.

One screw goes into a lug on the barrel band, the other a lug attached to the grip frame.

The rear sight and screw was removed.

Then the other screw which holds the breech onto the tube.

A standard Crosman transfer port.

The rear grip frame screw was loosened, allowing the hammer assembly to slide out.

The other grip frame screw was removed and the grip assembly removed. Note the standard tiny little safety spring that can pop out.

Again, a typical Crosman grip frame.

The side plate was removed. Both the hammer and sear were painted that odd shade of green.

All the parts were pulled out. Notice the small spring washer on the trigger pivot pin. Also note how filty the trigger is.

The only work I did (beside a quick cleaning, wire brush and steel wool derustifying and a slathering of cold blue on the tube and housing) was to polish the contact surfaces of the sear. I used the two machinists stones shown and stroked lengthwise. I also lubed that which needed lubing.

The pistol went back together and looks cleaner now. Another kind forum denizen pointed me to the manual which shows the procedure for swapping barrels.
The SSP 250 is fun to shoot! It will make a tin can dance. In .20 caliber I got between 400 and 440 feet per second, depending on how much gas was left in the cartridge.

2 Months of Blogging!

It's my two month anniversary at this blog. I'm surprised by how much I'm posting, although being a labor of love it's a lot of fun to have the impetus to work on projects. I have a number of new things to work on over the next month, so I shouldn't be slacking off anytime soon.

On my "to do" list:
1) Finish the Crosman 1377 carbine
2) Lube, repair, rehabilitate the Hyscore/Hammerli .22 sidelever
3) Build a shooting bench of some sort, as I need to sight in a number of my scoped air rifles.
4) Reseal/lube my neighbors Winchester 353 (Diana 5)

And that's just what I can remember right now.

As I said before, I can always use free/cheap project airguns if you have any real beaters laying around that aren't worth the time or money to sell or repair. I could also use reference materials, spare parts, etc. But I've managed to lay in quite a few project guns without any help thus far! I am starting to panic somewhat as I'm completely out of storage space.

I'll be posting a blog index post shortly after this one, it should add to the utility of this blog as a reference.

Finally, here are a few links I've collected lately:

Here's a chronological index to all the posts.
