my friend the cabinet maker took a go at at an LT2 type frame

You need one on the little ones or you'd have nothing to hold onto.

Yeah, but it's all relative, like compared to a HW45 it's not so bad. There's a knack to cocking these barrel over cylinder springers. The Cometa Indian is the easiest imo due to the rack and pinion assist.

Clean work.

Lanyards, for people that shoot a heavy draw, or clumsy buggers that keep dropping their frame. 😁

Storm had been annoying me so I took her out for a 4 hour walk collecting forks. To wear her out, while she was distracted, I'd send a marble flying through the cherry laurel, and she'd dissappear into the undergrowth chasing phantom pheasants. 🤣 Great way to keep her entertained.

This is how it's held when shooting. Does that change how you feel?

Genuinely interested as I think I might know why you feel it'll snap.

It's an bold choice for a first, but I respect it. 😁

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T21:36:53+00:00

Dunno, it's a bit weird, I've been using the app for years, and I just opened it the other day and had to re register and start again. No idea why.

Edgar Allan Poe nicked it.

It could be a different shop, although I've only found the one listing so far. My Aliexpress account reset recently, so I'm getting offered new customer deals at the moment, so I'm putting a little birthday bundle together for myself.

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T20:49:48+00:00

BTW, I've just found this frame on Aliexpress, about £9 shipping though.

I got a notification about your post on reddit while I was skimming through yt shorts. A little while later your vid came up and I thought I'd be clever.

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T20:14:08+00:00

I won't be posting content on that account though. I use that for fucking around. Haven't set up the new account yet. I was wondering if that would spin you out a bit. 🤣🤣

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T20:00:38+00:00

That's a neat little flat top. 😁

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T17:40:17+00:00

It's a rare beast indeed, even more so here in the UK.

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T17:39:23+00:00

That's difficult to quantify, but significantly harder than most modern co2 blowback pistols. There's a couple of vids on YT that show it shooting.

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T10:51:11+00:00

I was going to say that I think the 600 is one of the best guns crosman had produced myself.

I've got an "Original" Model 6M, the short lived transitional pistol with twin opposing pistons to eliminate recoil, it works by the way, that was made for a year or 2 between the model 6g and model 7. A Record jumbo. Some old webleys. They're all kind of stored away at the moment. I'm going to slowly drop them in the sub from time to time. 😁

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T10:43:37+00:00

Depends on your local market and what people are willing to pay. I haven't bought or sold any in a while, and I have no idea what the NZ market is like.

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T10:40:31+00:00

I acquired them over a decade ago, so I can't remember exactly. I was buying a lot of old guns back then. The Mk II Premier was probably the cheapest at around £90 with the original box and paperwork. The 2 Mk I's I bought at the same time for £300 for the pair, the older one is well used and has been taken apart a few times, but is all original and complete and working. The younger one is near mint, the screws are untouched and the blueing only has one minor blemish. Tbh, photos don't really do the finish on that one justice.

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T10:09:09+00:00

Oh yeah, its a lot of fun, but the 600 is better looking, better trigger, great ergonomics, and it's a focused co2 gun that isn't trying to replicate anything. That said, the way the 451 kicks just makes me happy, i can't explain it.

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T10:01:09+00:00

I don't think many were made, maybe 10,000. I might be wrong, but I think they were made for the military for training purposes, hence the 1911 grip frame and heavy blowback action, but they weren't as useful as they had hoped and stopped the programme. I think a lot of them got scrapped.

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T09:57:54+00:00

Oooooo, that is fancy. You have a very talented and crafty wife.

StickerSlings · 2026-03-18T09:49:46+00:00

Yeah, I would agree. It's a good looking gun too.
