that my 2300 bottle baby tube will be coming home soon, hopefully i'll get it by monday at the latest
then the build starts
im going to make it a .25
looking into getting a marauder .25 barrel fitted into the steel breech.if that doesnt work out then i guess mountain air is going to get a call for one of their .25 set ups
more about the project will be in the tech section once i get the pieces together
WHOO HOO!

i know im going to want to put it together right away but the tube needs refinishing i have (2) 2300 tubes and sent the wrong one in.it has some funny laser etching ,some crazy saying,on it i'll sand it down and use black primer for now and seal it with eezox.hopefully that will work i hate super glossy paint.the other tube doesnt have any laser etched name on it.im going to either sell it or use it for a future build

cant wait to show it off ;)
looking for a tank now.until i get one ill use an air source co2 88g cart.its getting cold so i need to start looking
bad news on the .25 marauder barrel none in stock but ordered that means i wont get the good old price and have to pay the now price
might as well save up a few more dollars and get a mountainair .25 kit

Good deal Ed, always nice to have parts inbound(thanks for mine ;))

These tank powered creations are cool to watch come together.
Long days and pleasant nights to you...

Hey Ed, have you considered a barrel from TOW. You can buy it by the inch, around 5 bucks per inch I think.

TOW gets their barrel liners from TJ's.cut out the middle man and save some money.i have thought about it by the time i get the liner have it machined i should have started with the mountainair kit in the first place.i wanted to use the marauder .25 barrel because it is/was a greenmountain barrel not a liner.plus it would have been way cheaper to buy local.
FYI TOW is 35 minutes from me.i have just about everything i need for airgunning right here in less than an hours drive.
if you want TJ's info i can get it they dont do internet sales you can call them to get what you need

Sounds like a plan for a nice shooter! :-*  Hmm a .25 liner same diameter as a stock barrel. Stop sharing these ideas, got a BNM .25 block on hand too.  I thought I was done with building Disco based air guns  :-* :-*

you gotta do it!
JUST DO IT !!!!!!
the TJ/TOW .25auto barrel liner(sold by the inch) is what most use for the conversion. it's 7/16 the same as a crosman barrel and pellet friendly.add a leade and transfer port hole you are set.i dont have the tools to do it so i still need someone with the tools and the know how to get the job done
i really gotta find a bottle!!!
tracking says 3 days so looks like friday i'll be seeing my parts now i know how you guys feel when waiting for a package.good thing i have meds that make me sleep or else i might be up until friday :o :P ;D
the bottle people that have the hi pressure 1000-2400psi tanks want double the cost of a 850psi tank.i see they are adjustable with belleville washers.im going to pick up a $60 ninja tank add $12 worth of belleville washers and have 1500psi tank for $72 and some elbow grease
i saw the stack order on several different ag sites all saying the same thing so im going to give a shot
im a diy'r, this doesnt require special tooling to do it.on the website for the ninja tank it says it was made with the diy'r in mind

I have an 18 inch TOW barrel on Stone Cold. Charles Mellon did the necessary machine work including a very sweet crown. This barrel has been very accurate. I have taken many squirrels at 75-80 yards with most being head shots. I love shooting it!

did you know TOW gets their liners from TJ's?
T J's Enterprises. Phone: 859-635-5560 3652 Neltner Rd Alexandria, KY 41001
just about if not every barrel liner you see on TOW came from this guy
ordering from the source will save you money
i still might just order from TOW just because i believe it is good to support local business
