Ed did you get yours from QVTom directly?
Carl
yes
the band was made for me because of the hose clamp I had on my stainless 2260.
the 4-48 breech screw kept backing out by the 4th shot. I tried the stainless steel 4-48 screws I have and the stock 4-48 screw ,they all backed out. once I added the hose clamp to the breech as a make shift breech band QVTom saw that and said that wouldn't do on such a nice shooter. Tom, a few others and myself came up with the band as a replacement for the hose clamp. this weekend I will test the barrel band and if it makes the grade it will go into production. it needs to keep my poly port sealed and my 4-48 breech screw from backing out. if it does those thing it will get my nod. if not then its back to R&D for me
if you go to gta and read my stainless steel 2260 threadhttp://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=39473.0 you will get more insight an how this band was developed. there is a new thread mentioned by Tater that QVTom started thats about the barrel band he made for me and hopefully if it pans out the first 20 will go to anodizing then more will be made as a production part. he wants to make a Crosman line of parts for sale. it's mentioned in my s/s 2260 thread there
