My "New" Gen 1 .177 MRod
2 Attachment(s)
Got it a few weeks ago in a trade. I opened up all the airways, installed an Audrius regulator ($69), installed a SSS (short stiff spring) and did some refinish work. It's a pound lighter. Gets over 6 mags of 13.4's at 860. (22fpe) and is truly mouse fart quiet.
I don't think it looks too bad with a $70 CP scope on it..... http://www.airgunsforum.com/attachme...2&d=1486507170 http://www.airgunsforum.com/attachme...3&d=1486507181 |
That finish looks very nice. What did you use?

The stain is a mix of Espresso and English Chestnut (Minwax). Wanted it dark, with a hint of red. The top coat is Tru-Oil applied by 2 fingers. I love that stuff. It takes about 20 "light" coats but is tough as nails. |
Wow, looks fantastic. Should be very proud of that

That truly does look great in pics so has to look even better in person.
Love Tru-oil....one of the easiest finishes I've ever used. Simple to apply, fairly quick dry time, builds nicely, and like you point out tough as nails. |
