[mby852]

HI All,   Does anyone know if  Don Cothran  is still making his stainless steel breech. I emailed him several days ago and haven't recieved a reply.

Thanks,  Mike

Hey Joe,   I was looking at his products on that Airgun Artisians website but no prices or anywhere to buy.  I got it now. Jim left that website  so I got it now. I was wondering what the SS breech costs. I'd like to have it but I need a new barrel & and shroud first. I could always get that later, a little pricey though.   Thanks for the info...

[Monkeydad1969]

No prob, Mike.  I am ordering my .357 barrel and riser from B&A.  The barrel is for my carbine build that will be powered by the Cothran valve.  The riser is for my Disco and I am getting a shroud from AC Customs.  Gonna be sweet.  Yeah, Cothran's riser breech is pricey, but he makes A+ parts.  I will need barrel band for my riser, I talked to Sergio at BNM and he says his 1/4" riser bands will work.  Still on the fence, though.  Was thinking maybe to get a full shroud from the breech, but would still want a band of some sort.  I know that getting the BNM Disco kit would be the ticket, but I keep saying that I want a single shot and not a multi shot.  Still have time, and if I get a riser now, I can always get a BNM kit later.  I would just use the riser for another project.

Sounds like you got all your ducks in a row. Mine are still running around all willie nilly. Be nice to find that extra money so we can get all that stuff we want and don't need.  Yea, that is going to be a sweet gun (guns) your working on.

[Monkeydad1969]

Thanks, but I still have to finish my 1322 and son's 1377to22 build.  I still need a 1701p trigger assembly for the carbine, LDC's for the carbine and Sumatra, a new Talon SS with the spin lock and hi-flow tank, etc., etc.  Lol...you know what I'm talking about...   Not to mention optics, too.  Dang hobby is expensive.

Thanks Jim

Hey Joe,  You mentioned a band if you go full shroud to the breech. I ordered a barrel band from crosman last week for a mrod. Someone mentioned that the ID's were 7/8 & 3/4 which is what I need. Alejandro at AC said to make sure that center to center  on the band will work with a 1/4 riser.
 Good luck  with your builds. I'm only dealing with my 1322. I'd be going nuts with all your projects on your list.

I will be ok with my setup.  I will have enough clearance.  I just need to decide on a full shroud or a 3/4 length shroud.  I will need a custom barrel band for a full shroud.  In all honesty, I will probably do a 3/4 length and use the BNM barrel bands. 

And I am pretty sure you will be going nuts real soon---dang addictive hobby---

[mby852]

That's going to be a sweet gun when you get it done. Look forward to seeing some pic's.
Yea,, this hobby is addictive. I never had these decisions when I used to shoot centerfire. I built a couple of real nice comp 45acp yrs ago and sold them when I moved to Fl. This airgun build all started when I saw a Iguana in my back yard about 6 weeks ago. Got the 1322 out and took a shot. The "dang" pellet never left the barrel. The gun is fixed now but I'm obsessed with building a 1st class gun just to get this "dang" lizard. I will get him and when I do I'll post a pic of him with the probably $300 or more custom build.

[Monkeydad1969]

That suks when you shoot and no pellet.  I am probably going to keep my 1322 as a pistol with the option of going carbine when I want.  It has taken rabbits past 20 yds.  My furthest shot was 35 yds with open sights.  Complete pass thru using a CPHP.  I'll pm the pics to you.  300 is so easy to spend, even on a 13XX.
