Anyone made their own crosman metal breach ?

Will be interesting to hear what you think about it. I dont find DRO as useful on lathes as on milling machines, but that may be because I have less milling experience?

Well one of my lathes is now at least a part time mill....

trial fit... slowly getting there... Obviously a bit long at the back, but that was an intentional provision, as it's trivial to trim that off to final fit.

You might beat me to the finish line!

Transfer port also drilled and installed, barrel section opened out with a boring bar, second trial fit after some minor tweaks:


Barrel clearance perfect, parallel with the cylinder...



Just the bolt slots to cut now.. no cocking slot on this gun (rear cocker), although that probably the easiest part. Oh, and the counterbore for the small loading channel screw.

Still debating the aesthetics - I think I'll somewhat square off the sides 1.5 - 2.0 mm, and also open out the top edges of the loading port for easier access.

And the big decision, as it's a pistol.. do I make it LH bolt... ?

Looking good, JB.

Well done both.

Coming along nicely, I have to speed up

Been wondering about flat sides myself, theres so much extra material in the 20mm bar i'm using it looks a bit strange.
