My 2240 First Build

[bayley]

Dude that is awesome and an inspiration! Can't wait to see your second build. Keep up the good work

Thanks again for your kind words.
I have another in mind. A .177 target pistol, practically all nickel or chrome, highly polished alloy and SS finished with some nice
ivory Corian grips.

As I was told, be warned it's addictive and can seriously damage your financial health. They should be sold with a government health warning!!

Would one of you guys over the pond be willing to obtain and ship to me if I PP the cost over first?? ... Certainly no risk then to the sender if some kind soul was willing.

we can see what we can do!!!
right now the grip frame is only available for for the guns being made at the factory
im sure the 1720 has something to do with the reduced inventory
once they become available again im sure something can be done

Another nice UK build. If you need an LW 10.1 .177 barrel let me know. I have a hardly used one that I have just taken off a project also have the .177 probe in SS to match. (I just found loading the .177s too  fiddly)

I must say though I have a Brass, Stainless Steel and Standard Crosman Steel Breech all from Gordon at GMAC and all fit perfectly and none use or need barrel bands. I am also using the top seal on the TP.

I did find that it helps to loosen the top grub screw on assembly to allow a flush fit.

Thank you that's great, I'd certainly appreciate some help from you guy's if/when they ever become available again.
Cheers!

Cheers Gary, I would be interested in the barrel and possibly the probe at some point.
I'm trying to find someone who is willing to take on manufacture of a dedicated .177 breech, it would certainly cut down the fiddle factor.
I reckon my pistol must have either a slightly longer TP or the hole in the barrel which accepts has been drilled too shallow as all you guy's have had no problem. I just can't understand why the barrel band would not fit when I got it sitting nicely on the tube.
I got it sort so it matters not a jot now really.
