Hey guys I recently thought of trying to maybe modify an epox badger into .308 or something. However, I was also thinking of just buying a breech by itself first since I’ll probably be swapping out the majority of the other parts anyways. Anyone know of a good place to get big bore breeches?
Any places where I can buy a big bore breech?
- Thread starter johnshaww
- Start date
I found a breech for the Marauder on bakerairguns that takes up to .375 for $64.50, but there’s only 1 review so I don’t know if it’s good or not.
Edit: it’s also strange because it doesn’t have a bolt handle. Instead you have to rotate a knurled knob where the normal bolt handle is.

That's because a bolt for a .375 is going to need better threads, more leverage to cock than a factory Mrod.
If you know anything about machining, or have a machinist friend with equipment, you're way ahead of the game. Do you know CAD? You could design your own. Maybe someone like John Bowman, Extreme Big bores, Gargoyle rifles, Mr. Hollow Point would be able to get you what you're after. An older Rapid solid block reciever would work well.

@johnshaww contact Dan at XP-Airguns that manufacturers the Badger. They can help you I am sure!

I’ve got a friend who knows a bit about machining. Maybe once I save up enough I might be able to get him to modify the bolt and inset a bolt handle into it somehow!

Jefferson State Air Rifles - JSAR, has done some custom machining like that but it's not a listed item on their website, you have to call and talk to them. Good guys.
I've got Jim Gaska at Wicked Air Rifles building a custom .357 using a bored out action to 5/8 barrel OD and a different retainer system... sort of a prototype. Trying to get him to produce a 'Magnum' action with longer bullet loading port that could use Bulldog magazines but he's so busy producing WARP's and FLEX's probably not happening.
