    Remington Express TP

    I have recently bought a Remington express. I have measured the transfer port at 4mm.
    This seems a little big.
    It is in .22 cal.
    How big is yours?
    Repariere nicht, was nicht kaputtist.

    I'll have a look at mine and get back to you when I've finished my brew, Neil.

    4mm may seem big, but the volume of the port is also important, so if it's a short wide port it may not be too bad.



    All the best Mick

    unless it shorter than about 6mm, it;s too big
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Yes, it's 4mm --- no idea on the length without stripping the barrel off.


    All the best Mick

    Length must be near 15mm.
    I have sleeved mine down. Its currently at 2.5mm, not easy to drill it out with the cylinder forks. I now have a 3mm drill bit in an extension bar.

    If I need to extend a drill bit I knock a long roll pin onto its shank Neil.

    That's a great idea Mick.
    I don't have any long roll pins but I do have 9mm brass rod.

    I would be careful and double check the transfer port is bored straight and not dog legged before drilling out or it could cause you a headache bud.

    The transfer port is straight, angled from the centre of the compression chamber upwards towards the breech.
    There is no dog leg in this one.
    Thank you for your cautionary warning.

    I find that I have to fit roll pins on drill bits below a certain size in order to get some chucks to tighten onto them as well, Neil.

    Yes I know. I wasn't sure if they would be long enough. Its just quicker if I make an adaptor. The adaptor can then be increased to whatever size I need.
    Next time I needed the long drills I probably would not be able to find them.
