Just wanted to share my first project!  I know it is simple compared to a lot I have seen, but I am proud of it!  It is a Crosman Custom 2300 in .22 Caliber.  It is mounted with a BSA RD 30/22SB Red Dot Scope.  Grips are from Ralph at R&B Grips http://www.rbgrips.net/index.html and are his Sportsman Rainbow Laminate in Blue and Black.  The Muzzle Break, Extended Gas Cap and Stock Adapter are from Joe at Muzzlemacks!  http://muzzlemack.com/default.aspx  I want to thank both craftsman for their excellent workmanship!!  The stock is a  Tippmann 98 lightweight aluminum folding stock.  Gun is very fun to shoot and is fairly accurate!  Again thanks to the Craftsman and all that answered questions on this forum while I was building it!
Howard

The folding stock is what makes the gun totally unique.

Very nice job.

My first thought too....the folding stock is great.....and extendable too.  Excellent modifications.

Sure is a neat backpack hunter!

: Just a few of the available stocks that will fit.

FYI... for those who are interested...

The adapters for the 22xx models have a built in Hammer Spring Adjuster in the mount. Once the mount is installed... you can take the stock off with just one set screw for the  back packers...

I only have one left for the 13xx & 2289 models. No adjuster needed for the pumpers...

I will be making more...

Thank you Howard for posting your creation. It is my pleasure to serve the AG community.
