This just in.....
Baker brass trigger #2 is waiting for me at the house. 362 #2 is out for delivery.

Green with envy! My 362 is “out for delivery,” but I’ll be lucky to have it in my hands by next week…no Baker trigger -yet-

UPS stops here at work just before going to our house. Once again I offered to save him a trip and take the gun off his hands and once again, there are 2 trucks in the area and the gun is on the other one.

It'll be interesting to see what your number is on this one Bill

I cast up some pellets, it's a little on the chilly side in the attic but not too cold to shoot up there

I still gotta sort them yet!

avator · « **Reply #123 on:** January 21, 2022, 01:38:28 PM »

Wayne... any guesses on the number? Low or high?

EdinGa · « **Reply #124 on:** January 21, 2022, 02:05:17 PM »

I have a Baker .25 breech and an Alchemy barrel that's turned down for a standard Crosman breech. I also have a Crosman breech with the rear screw, so I'm up a creek. Well, maybe not. I cut some aluminum flashing last night and shimmed my turned down alchemy barrel to fit the Baker breech. Good idea? Who knows, but we'll see how it works when 362 #2 gets here.

I'll guess it's 0095 that would be a good keeper number

The numbers when ordered from Crosman seem to be going lower as they sell of the top of the pallet.

Maybe... depends, did they stack the pallets in layers or rows? And... how do they unstack the pallets (pick the orders)?
I'm always trying to make the job interesting so I would probably apply the 'jenga" method....

No fifo with you.

Yes, but the letters don't represent what you might think.... lol

Oh well when you put it that way...

Eddie, In place of the flashing you can make a better shim from K&S brass tubes. Stock #8138 OD 15/32" will slip tightly inside stock #8139 OD 1/2" like a telescope & since the Id of the 15/32 tube is 7/16" it fits like a glove on the turned down barrel and the outside being 1/2" will fit inside the Baker Big Bore Breech. Just cut tubes to length slip smaller one inside larger one and drill the exhaust hole for the port the same as the barrel. It worked fine on my big bore breech. I got the tubing at Hobby Town Store also can get online at many hobby sites. You might try that to use this on the Big Bore if your shim is not satisfactory. I'm guessing the Alchemy BBL is 1/2" OD turned down to 7/16".

Wow, thanks for that! I'll look into it. I wasn't happy about having to buy 2 more breeches.

I've got both of them on the way for less than $15. I really appreciate the tip.

A warm and fuzzy feeling inside......

avator · « **Reply #134 on:** January 21, 2022, 06:32:48 PM »

The Baker brass trigger was in the mailbox today as well so, the gang's all here....

avator · « **Reply #135 on:** January 21, 2022, 06:34:21 PM »

I'll be in the mancave with the stove fired up and the coffee on bright and early in the morning.
Temps will be in the mid to upper 20's but that won't stop me.

avator · « **Reply #136 on:** January 21, 2022, 06:35:36 PM »

Both guns will get extreme make overs.

EdinGa · « **Reply #137 on:** January 21, 2022, 06:50:21 PM »

My #2 order still shows pending so I won't be tinkering for awhile.

I forgot to mention slip a 7/16" wood dowel inside the assembled brass tubes before cutting or drilling for support to keep it from bending the thin tubes. The big bore breech for 1/2" barrels loads different as you have to point the gun down and drop in a pellet as opposed to loading the regular way. Funny at first but works good when you get the hang of it. The supplied bolt seals flat to the barrel not inside.

Will do, thanks again! Oh, I measured my barrel and you were spot on.

Thank you to our advertisers!
