    Super Engineer On Here?

    Who could machine and fit a barrel from one type of gun into an action from another type of gun? I seem to remember someone putting a FWB barrel on a TX200?

    Thats not that tricky, Neil or Baz would sort that quickly
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    are you thinking of putting a FWB barrel on a TX or something else
    most things can be done

    Malcolm - I can't see the point of replacing a Walther barrel with a Feinwerkbau barrel, unless it was a super-extraordinary Feinwerkbau barrel. It just wouldn't be right.

    Something else in mind, but not sure going to do it yet. Full report if I do!

    so what the friggin ell are you going on about then
    putting an airsporter barrel on a webley vulcan is a different proposition /engineering wise to the FWB TX example you gave
    tell us what you intend and we will tell you how it can be done ( i mean me )

    I've been contacted by a Secret Engineer, I am sure it can be done, but now it has to remain a Mystery, especially in your case because you may not Approve. And I want to wait until it is too late i.e. after the conversion has been done to show it to the World, hopefully in a Famous Airgun Magazine.

    Sorry but I am in a bit of a Strange Mood, having had a very Strange time in Liverpool over the weekend.

    But to be fair, it is taking a barrel from a Break Barrel action and getting shot of the breech block etc and machining it up to fit a Fixed Barrel rifle.

    I'm still going to put the Super Sport stock on the FWB barrelled action I have got - I tell you she's going to look HOT HOT HOT!


    Missed the fact you lived near there, can't imagine what its like to have as a home town. Interesting place, never been anywhere like it! Strong flavour and takes some getting used to I expect!

    At a guess......

    ....you have acquired a .25 or .20 barrel and intend to fit it to something never offered in .25 or.20
    Pray tell am I a smart arse or barking up the wrong tree

    Nah, just finking about putting a .22 barrel on a match rifle.... Been done before apparently, with the high-powered adaptation of the Walther LGR.

    Never been keen on those 'other' calibres. I would think a .25 is a short-range ratter so I would put it on...... um... a small break-barrel... What about a HW99 with a short .25 barrel, a straight-handed stock (like a Webley C1 carbine), set-back trigger and 2.5x scope for rats in close places?

    If you have a straight-handed stock, you don't need a set-back trigger.

    ALL Weihrauchs need a set-back trigger. Except the pistols.

    It's a Law.

    Or unless it's a straight-handed stock.
