The steel breeches are all the same, only the bolt is different. You can use the breech for .22, just get a .22 bolt.  :)

You said at the start of this thread, that you had an extra .177 barrel. How long is it? Me, I would use the 10.5 barrel, just for the fun of it.

Thank you, I'm blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. Steel breech, not barrel. Anyway, I think the 10.5 in. barrel would be a good one.

I cannot recommend the .177 Lothar Walther 10.1" barrel enough. The one I got is super accurate. It turned my pig of a 2240 into a race horse.

Crosman part: 2300-002 (.177, 10.1 LW match barrel) - $58.71 ea

Drop Davio a PM and ask him if he has one in stock. I got mine from him and he gives forum members a discount. He's a great guy to deal with.

I got my parts from him to do my 1377 to 1740 conversion.  Great to deal with.  Absolutely no complaints.
