Hi all

 

Recently got bite by airguns and Beeman in particular. Have a San Rafael R1 and a P1

How rare is it to come across a Beeman shoulder stock for the P1?

When ever I see them they are sold as a group with the pistol. There are two versions one that Beeman sold and another that Pyramyd Air sold that was walnut.

I like my P1 and ended up with two. One with the stock and one without.

Place a want to buy ad.

 

Good Luck

$100-$150 is what I’ve seen them go for.

go to Ebay and type in Hirdhawks

you will find a HW45 stocks, cheap no

and there is something about when using a stock the front sight had to be raised, at least at one time they sold a kit for that purpose

Two things:

1. As noted above, the stock completely changes the behavior of the gun under recoil. If you want to shoot with open sights, you will need a taller front sight. Beeman originally sold the stocks with a nifty sight that attaches over the original blade via a grub screw.

2. Beeman’s directions had you attach the stock by sliding its steel plate under the grip side panel, and using the original grip screws. I do NOT recommend that—the screws get only a shallow and weak attachment to the aluminum frame. Get some screws that are a bit longer for a more secure attachment.

It’s a ton of fun to shoot the P1 with a shoulder stock! It basically turns it into a near-recoilless mini-carbine, and is very easy to shoot accurately.

This thread got me thinking. I'd just finished a stock mod on an Airmax pistol and really like shooting it as a carbine. I got looking at my P1 as to what would work. At first I was going to drill two holes in the base of the handle, thread them and screw a simple single bar stock. Wasn't that excited about the gun mod so I got looking at a Crosman stock. I had just used one on the Airmax conversion after seeing how gubb33 had done one on his pistol. The stock opening was too narrow to fit the P1 handle. Got the Rotozip out and started to widen it up.

I did have to cut the top back off of the Crosman stock to get it to slide up on the handle better. The trick then was the backside of the stock was a little too close to let it slide in as tight as I would have liked. Not enough stock left to grind out so I used a propane torch to heat it up enough to mold to the gun handle as I pushed on until it cooled. Trimmed the front a little to give the safety room.

2003b

Home Depot was closed so I couldn't run get some screws. I'll drill it tomorrow and use the four factory handle screw holes. Will be able to switch back and forth easily. For how much I like the Airmax as a carbine I think I will be leaving it with a stock. Shouldered great and for about an hours work $25 stock it's turned into a gun I would actually shoot more. Thanks for starting this thread to give me the motivation to modify it.

Thanks for the info.. the one on ebay isnt exactly what Im loooking for but thank you

Still getting used to mine, as Ive read it takes a curve.  Mine was originally a .22 that someone converted to a .20. I normally like stock things, but its condition was like new and wanted a San Rafeal edition. .20 ammo is way to expensive anyway! 500 count crossman hollow points at walmart 6 bucks. .20 500 ct benjamin? 18 ebay. heck with that

Ive ordered the .22 barrell from Pyramid air and will sell the .20 on here if anyone is interested

Is the barrel change out pretty simple? any alignment factors need consideration?

 

also have learned they perform very poorly in cold temps below 20F

I guess you can't edit a post after a certain amount of time? Not sure how all this works yet. Just wanted to post the finished stock conversion. I did also put a smaller Red Dot on it.

    I took it out back and shot if off hand at 20 yards, 3" metal target. Fantastic improvement. I could actually hit something with it. Yay!

I have 2 HW45 and the first time I changed out the barrel the small allen screw stripped striped out they are very soft and replaced them with better hardware, there was a clear thread sealer, hell the plate had to be pried off and clean up there was much on it

now if they have been out before it should not be hard

I have all the barrels for the Hw45 and as you go up in caliber the softer it shoots

wiha makes 2mm Hex metric insert bits, they come two to a pack and I feel they are a must have tool and they work in all 1/4 inch hex drive screw drivers

and the barrel are a straight forward exchange

email mail me on that .20 barrel
