It's something we can all enjoy together in these messed up times and have no contact with each other.
As some of you know I have no plans of going .177 with mine simply because that would mean I need to buy pellets and I don't want to do that, I did end up installing the steel breech on mine along with the 2240 bolt and knob. I did some chrony testing and it's about the same as stock, I didn't open any ports and really don't plan on it right away if I eventually do. I think if I do it will just be the transfer port only, might be able to get 18fpe out of it which is really more than I want for it, now I'm searching for some medium scope rings because all I've found at the moment so far are the high ones. I'll be using an old CP compact 4 power that I'm robbing from my Master Blaster because that way it will be a much better gun for Michigan weather in the long run. I also ran across 5 new breech screws that I ordered in the past. One thing about dismantling it is everything seemed not real tight which is good.
DJ the main reason I ended up putting the steel breech on was because with that 4 power scope it's going to be much better for accuracy, I also dug up a red dot too but never cared that much for it however I wouldn't have to worry about rings with that, it's a cheap CP but did get the job done when I used it in the past. I still haven't put any of my 19.6 grain through it because the wad cutters seem plenty good for it, I'll try getting back up in the attic with it today to sight it in if I can find good medium rings for it. The 2240 bolt has a better knob on it too plus the bolt/knob assembly I got out of it is definitely locked in place with Loctite.
They are easy to work on, and anyone who has tinkered with one before should have some instinctive memory of the operation and what typically worked in some form in the past will most likely apply. I think I will slug this barrel before testing BBT slugs, I suspect a slight burr in the barrel port hole, as mine seems pellet picky, when striving for one hole 3-5 shot groups at 10m in a stinger gun rest. In theory the 362 should shoot BBT slugs well, if the barrel is anything close to a Prod barrel.
