I’ve often wondered if a Baikal IZH 61 rifle could be converted to CO2, and after some pondering decided it would be easier to convert a CO2 rifle to an IZH 61.
Borrowing a few design elements from the Russians, this is what I came up with. The Crosman “2261”.

It started life as a stock 2250B. I added a Crosman steel breech with Picatinny rail, tuned the trigger, and added the stock and bloop tube.

It’s very light, neighbor friendly, and hits where I’m aiming. I’m having way too much fun.

Here’s a side by side comparison.
