What work did you just do?

Guess I didn't screw up the barrel too bad on the 2260 with the cut and crown.  5 shots at 10 yards using the mirror of my pickup for a rest. The one hole off to the right was already there.

Open sites?? Not to shabby at all!    Any chance of seeing the rifle as it looks now?

I wish I could shoot open sights that well. . I put a picture up in the guns of the day thread.

A while ago I got a shroud from AC.  Then I got some aluminum tubing to make a little shroud for the rest of the barrel.  Pretty much just cut & slip it on.  Not too much work but it looks good, IMHO.  Did it on a 2240 also, painted black.

That's a good idea

Nice Bill.    I did that on my 1377 but with a piece of stainless tube I got from work.

Nice clean, simple mod, Bill. How thin was the wall of that tubing? I know there is not much room between the barrel and breech.

That is a great idea with the aluminum or stainless tubing over the barrel. And it does look great!!

  Just finished this to day! 2240 , I was digging around in my parts bins and got to finding parts I had pulled off of guns that I had moded and built this out of them. No range report yet! If no rain here in a.m. I will set it up and shoot.

Great minds think alike!   

We have been doing this with stainless steel, Delrin, aluminum (for powder coating), and polished brass on custom builds.  The latest is the "Godspeed" gun being donated for a new raffle.  It has two stainless sections.  We call them faux shrouds.

^^^^^ Actually Bill's looks way better than mine. Guess that's why my gun is no more.
Today my 2300kt is officially a pile of parts. Had a few problems so it's in total rebuild status. I did get some tung oil ob the grips but that's about it. Hoping it will be C.A.P.O.F. worthy when all is said and done.

Tubing is 6061 T6 Alum.  .50 OD X .444 ID  Wall is .028".  Pretty thin/light stuff.  I got it from Onlinemetals.

Dave & Barry,  I also believe "great minds think alike".  However, in this case I believe we are all stricken by the same disease and therefore displaying the same symptoms.

Hope they don't find a cure.
