    I've just realised this afternoon, you could use a machined down TX compression tube to sleeve the compression chamber down to 25mm.

    trouble is, they are a b'stard to machine.... very hard.. not sure what they are made of, but I gave up on that idea very quickly...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Same as the 77/97 tubes then Jon, I ended up cutting the compression tube down with an angle grinder on the one I'm working on at present, after that it machined easily, so probably just case hardened.
