Customisation of New IHP .22

That rod under the gun is for under lever cocking. Do be careful as the rifle you have is a break barrel type. The additional weight should not affect the balance of the gun and should not strain the locking system.
Glad to know you were thinking about the trigger guard.

Tirths,

What do you think of a gun stock done in rosewood? (mat finish).

Your opinion please.

Rosewood or African Teak. I like the later one though

Hi Big Daddy,

I have completed the ss fabrication work. After all peeling, cutting, drilling, welding and polishing I have only added 356 gms to the front side of my rifle. I am in the process of mounting a scope as I told earlier, which weighs around 355 gms. So I think it will balance the rifle properly. The fabrication work in metal is done after a lot of thinking by me as well as my workshop guy. So the cocking & locking system is working perfectly fine. I will post pictures soon once the paint job of the stock as well as the new attachment to the barrel is done.

If possible look for a ready made synthetic stock that will look good.

Could be. But nothing beats a good wooden stock.

Hi Indian Shooter,

I have understood the concept of the rear grooves, which would be exactly the same of the front ones, perhaphs a trifle longer.

Where can I have these grooves cut, without destroying the rifle?. Would it be one of these machine shops??

Having the dummy barrel is an excellent idea, atleat from the asthetic point of view. We could use the barrel of an old and discarded air rifle and have it spot welded in place.

I presume the SS pipes are of steel. How do we get these coated black to match colors with the actual barrel?

Tirths has suggested that changing the spring for a stronger one will not help. The power will increase for the first 50 shots or so and after that the spring will' settle down' and we will be back to the same level.

Hi Atanu,

Sorry for the delayed reply. I was out of town.

Please, be very careful when you get the grooves cut. The thickness of the spring pipe and the depth of the groove has to carefuly calculated and measured. The placement of the groove will decide the accuracy of the scope. So be very very careful. Any workshop with a milling machine and a very skilled miller can cut the grooves

. But your presence at the time of groove cutting is highly recomended.

SS means stainless steel. When I got the fabricated attachment for my rifle it was with out any coating. I am going to do black powder coating (Mat Finish) on it. I will try to match it to the shade of the rifle. But I think its a challenging job

.

I agree to Tirth on the spring stuff.

The paint job of the stock is finished

. Its hanging in the self made drying chamber for dust free finish. I will post pics very soon.

Hi,

I finaly got time to click some pics. I know these are a lot of them but it shows all the work I have done from day 1 till date.

1. Barrel tip

2. Barrel mid section

3. Dummy barrel junction

4. Complete barrel assembly

5. Stock after painting

6. Rifle with the new barrel assembly

Still a lot to do before I say its done

Pending work
a. Painting the new barrel assembly
b. Cutting grooves on the spring pipe for the scope mounts
c. Cutting grooves on the tip of the barrel for the front sight
d. A new brass triggur guard
e. Mounting the scope and manage the accuracy
f. Coating teflon on the painted stock
g. A new rubber butt pad for the stock

Nice work there, I am actually interested in seeing the "b." and the "c."...As I once ruined an IHP by getting the rifle grooved a bit too deep on a vertical mill....

interesting. though could you please explain why you have attached a "dummy " barrel to a break barrel air rifle?

indianshooter · Post by **indianshooter** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 9:20 am

The look of the under lever air rifles attract me. Vertualy no Indian manufacturers range underlever air rifles. Its very difficult to ship in a .22 cal air rifle to India and impossible for a non air rifle club member like me. If I buy an imported rifle in India I will have to pay an exobirant price for it.

Hence, I just wanted to give my Indian IHP Rifle, the look of the air rifle in the following image which is Gamo CFX Royal

Hi R-Dhillon,

I agree to you that if carefuly the groove depth is not calculated and executed then the rifle will be damaged. I am thankful to almighty that my workshop guy is very good in executing the fine work. For an example when I discussed with him about my plan of grooves for the scope and the front sight he actualy made the groove in front of me on a scrap piece of ss pipe just to show me that fine fabrication of steel is doable by him and his machine. I will keep all posted once the milling work is done.

Atta way to go ! ! !

Been waiting for this pics a long time.
Nice work. Can actually see you heart engraved on the gun.

One thing I would actually modify in the gun stock is the shape of the grip section.
The section between the trigger and the rear sight. The IHP’s have a kinda parallel run through while the foreign ones have a nice ever-so-mild curve. Well that’s perspective.

And any plans of improving the power house? There are some very good threads.

Nice efforts. Congrats!

I have two question: 1) After the dummy barrel, how do you manage to cock. Looks like the hinge will not allow you to do so.
2) Now it it muzzel heavy and therefore unbalanced one. How ur going to balance it?
