Welcome (Grego?) very interested in your 0.22 M29, this is something I have been thinking about as possible alteration to mine.
You can't beat the man's calibre... 😜

You can't beat the man's calibre... 😜 Hi, a 22 conversion is a worthwhile mod, a fair bit more accurate as there's a lot of play where the barrel extension slides in and out at the muzzle end and you can take out. A bit involved tho, you really need a lathe to make the barrel, the forcing cone thing and ptfe seals for the carts, works well tho

Welcome Geoff to our friendly replica forum. How did you find us? I also have a re barrelled M29. Started life as a 6mm smoothbore and now full rifled .177 and a reworked valve. I’d be interested in knowing what your chono results are like

A bit involved tho, you really need a lathe to make the barrel, the forcing cone thing and ptfe seals for the carts, works well tho Would be interested in purchasing some .22 shell seals from you. Easy enough to make but a DIY way is 8mm od/6mm id silicon tube, as you squash it in the cartridge the id will reduce to 5.5mm, just got to be exact size wise, too long and it will foul the cylinder, too short and you'll loose gas. If you need, get in touch , send me a 10mm rod of ptfe (white as its softest)and an SAE, cheers

I’d be interested in knowing what your chono results are like Reworked valve sounds interesting I somehow stumbled onto this site while surfing. Can't remember exact figures but the fps dropped by about 15-20 fps , but the power nearly doubled, as did accuracy. Any link on the reworked valve?
