Sorry, Carl.  You said tell me something about and I told you allot about.

Bottom line of what Carl said was "I want one."

And you used SHOT for that?  What kind of trailers was that?
I worked on heavy tank trailers for 12 years and the guys that blasted them used sand, outside!
That was one job I didn't want.  I usually worked inside the tanks, welding.  That is probably part of what's wrong with me, mentally and physically.

in the uk shot blasting is a general term for all types of media blasting we used to use a blast media called stone grit(slightly coarser than sand)
previous to being a "shotblaster" i spent 9yrs as a welder my last job was building trailers/tankers

Just put a 18" barrel on my 2289. I really think the gun looks better with that barrel. The barrel band doesn't seem to like it. Letting the barrel move when I am cocking it. I think it is moving it enough that one shot shoots like it should the next shot is very weak. I think the barrel is moving enough to move the transfer port enough to let air get by. Put TKO trigger kit in it also.

Ah well the SPG is just waiting a few parts, mostly one off custom made jobbies. I have them all sorted bar one part, jeez this hobby is expensive 

[chongman]

If you want a tighter fitting barrel band...
paint the inside of the barrel band with a thick coat of epoxy
after cure then hone the epoxy with sandpaper rolled up into a tube (400 grit)
check fit often and then lube barrel with some light weight oil like Hoppe's
install should be tight smooth lubricated .....hth

Now THAT is a good idea!! ^^^^   

[bgmcgee]

Great idea Wyo, might give that a try on my 78g. It seems to have a lot of play in the front frame where the barrel passes through and I am thinking it is hurting the accuracy.  . Sorry for the hijack.

[JEBert]

Mackelby,
It is just a thought but do you have a steel breech on that gun or is that transfer port trying to hold that barrel still all by itself?
Cheers,

I think that right now he is still using the OEM plastic breech but I could be wrong.

just made a stainless hammer to suit a prod trigger and a ptfe spring guide
might have to put a couple of flats on the side to reduce its weight or bore the back out and fit a piece of ptfe,i've threaded the hammer pin hole m3 (grub screw fitted at the moment but will make a shouldered pin)
