Has anybody put the Barra 1100Z side lever breech onto a Beeman Raider??
-
Looks like member rkrr20307@comcast.net has done it and reports that some grinding has to be done but it is a good conversion. I think member naptemp may have also done it and he 3D printed a soft durometer bumper to do the Bstalley mod and reports some pretty impressive results.

I have also put the BARRA GEN2 1100Z valve gauge block and regulator in one of mine. I used the GEN2 hammer and cut it down to 54 grams instead of the 83 gram factory one and hammer bounce is gone. Waiting on anther shipment from BARRA to convert all 3 rifles. The lug that goes into the hammer on the Raider is too long so I used a scope screw and ground it to fit into the slot in the breech. The image of the valve and hammer has the top one is factory and bottom is GEN2 1100Z. Very easy gun to tinker with.

Is the side lever Breech currently available from Barra? What does it cost?

They have the bare breech the side lever and .177 or .22 probes but no rear pivot bushing or mounting hardware to mount lever to breech . Look on there website under 1100Z parts.
