Big Bore 2240 ?

[droid]

Does anyone still make large cal kits, ie barrel, breech and bolt for the 2240. (Over .25 Cal preferably)

I recall seeing a Jim Giles one somewhere.

I just got a potential project rattling around my head

I think you need to contact Mr. Gippeto sir..

Big bore on CO2 cartridges might be a bit anemic, but you probably already know that. A used Quackenbush pistol is one way to go. Another source might be Sean in VA-VB (http://www.workinmanshootingaccessories.com/index.html). He has done several builds of 9mm and larger, and might be able to set you up with an upper.

would have thought it might be better on a 2250 build gary as keeping under 6fpe and getting it to shoot any distance might be a challenge
it's something i'd love to build but i feel it would be more of a paper weight than a shooter in the uk unless it was on a fac be nice to see what you come up with though

X2...Al does awesome work (sending my .25 LW to him after Xmas for him to do his magic on!)

He did a beautiful job on his .32    http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg76/gippeto_album/Check%20valve/Stirrup%20pump/Airguns/IMG_3336-1.jpg

Saw that one ED, if I thought I could get away with it I would.

oops!!!
forgot about the limitation thing!!
it would be funny to see a .50 moving at 6ft# . wonder if it would even leave the barrel

This one is back on my mind again.
As Ped says I better be looking at this for my rifle builds rather than a very naughty pistol.
So probably looking for a 16" .30 cal barrel and breech kit.

While on the topic, does anybody remember the disaster I went through with this .30 shooter? I eventually gave up and simply donated to a fellow shooter on this forum.

I am still sick over how much I invested in that (parts, ammo that didn't fit, shipping fees, etc.). However, a VERY talented and patient master of tools and knowhow got it running and is STILL shooting it today

I'm not aware of any kits right now, Gary, but it can be done with a Baker big bore breech and a .30 cal, 1-26 twist barrel blank from TJ's (get the .500" o.d. to fit the breech) The blank will need cut, crowned, and TP / leade-in work. I did that with this:

I'm not sure who ships where... or if you have a local machinist... or if you can DIY. Not alot of help here, but I haven't seen kits (above .25 cal) since DAQ stopped making them.

Excellent presentation of excellent work, WyoMan!
