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.

That is such a great looking gun. I wish that I had your artistic imagination and talent. My QB pales in comparison.

Your design is spot on. Clean and functional. I can't take credit for my design. The Russians took care of that. But I found inspiration in that design, just as others will find inspiration in your design.

In fact that's why I post my projects, not to show off, but to inspire others to get the creative juices flowing, and have a little fun in the process.

Thank you for your kind words.
