2240 bottle project

Still work in progress. May have to buy another tube. My holes were a bit off for the bottle adapter. Used a rat tail file to adjust the holes. Bought a cheap .22 barrel from BNM, made a mistake not asking if it was choked before I bought it. JSB 18.1 practically free fall through the barrel. Shots like crap. I seen another member talking about the FX LW barrels AOA is selling for 20 bucks and shipping. I ordered a 14.5" .22 hope they still have some. Put my good crosman .177 barrel on. With a 2000 psi regged bottle and cothran valve it blazes 10.5 crosman domes 1000+. Stock hammer .041 X 1.5x .30 hammer spring no power adjustment.

Definitely has a leak. Had this piece of cf tube I bought for another barrel. Shoots great with the cf tube on.

The trigger gard fashioned from 1/8" copper and beat down piece of 8ga half round sterling silver wire.

Still shooting .177. My new .22 barrel should show up Tuesday I'll be sending it off to be machined. Hopefully I'll finish it up in a couple weeks.
