Can anyone here walk my through the process of getting a barrel of my choice machined to fit an airforce gun? I was thinking of getting a higher twist unchoked .25 barrel (if available) from TJ's for example, but then what? Are there folks here who do this kind of machine work? Any sense of cost?
thank you

All kinds of shooting is fun… I don’t care if it’s a gun, if it’s got a trigger on it it’s fun.

Whole lot easier to just machine the rear to accept the backwards running striker and then just either adapt the barrel/tube bushings or have new tube bushings made.

Whole lot easier than what? I may not have been clear but I don't have any idea how to do this, easier or harder!
What you describe sounds like I get a barrel blank (?), send it to someone with a lathe, they narrow the breech end to work with the hammer, spring, breech block, and so on?
Any Airgun smiths who can do this?

Doug Noble (dyotat100), if you can convince him.... or Al in Canada (Gippeto).... both do excellent work....
