Sounds great!
Now, is it close by or is S&H going to be astronomical?

its local!
its not that heavy iirc 400#-600#
the one i want is 1300 and 2500#
i have round up the nephews to move it and a friend has a truck to move it
it has tools and runs on 110v no wiring has to be done no converter boxes just plug'n'play

Just swapped out a barrel on one of my 1377s my daughter knocked it off the bench when we were shooting outside head first to the concrete. She was more upset then me but I let her do most of the work I must say she did ok. I then showed her how to put a crown on it. Hopefully that's all that happened to it.

Aluma-Hyde II

Having given up on the mediocre results of cold blue kits, I decided to paint the breech, barrel, air tube and grip frame of my 2240 with Aluma-Hyde II semi gloss black air cured paint from Brownell's. The results are very, very good. I would never paint a vintage gun, but a pedestrian 2240 with lousy bluing was an appropriate candidate. When I finish a few more bits, I will post some photos of the once unloved 2240 in the Gallery.

Thanks CM....but made a triple bogey on this - didn't have the groove / felt right
Oiler disintegrated, left a mess on the piston and filled the valve with primordial goo..... will redesign - another project

tried my multi shot on air instead of co2 today with a fill of 2750psi with a reg at 800psi first mag shot 626fps down to 622fps second mag of 10 shot 622fps down to 599fps, by this time air pressure was at 1200psi
conclusion was it's a gas guzzler i swapped the hammer spring for a standard one adjusted tension till i acheived 570fps then shot 4 mags with a deviance of 12fps for 900 psi air pressure loss
much happier with these results
i then tried my new (to me)blue streak  6 pumps gave 580 fps using 11.73 gr  tried 7 pumps then 8 and it was no better in fact it seemed as if it wasn't putting any more air into the valve
has the blue streak got a pressure relief valve in the pump?
