Ladies and Gents,
I have a Brocock Bantam Sniper in .25 that I bought from UA about 3 years ago and had hydro dipped and Cerakote(d). I love the gun, but I also have an Edgun and a HEAVILY customized Marauder (both in .25) that can do what the Brocock can and maybe more.
My thought was to drop down to .22 with the Brocock and make it a compact. As I have a Vulcan 2 in .22 that shoots in the 32-32 fpe range (with the 18gr), I would like the Sniper to be in the 24-26 fpe range with 14.3gr to 16 gr pellets. My thought was to check into an FX 380mm barrel and maybe a 300cc bottle.
Has anyone done this or something similar? How much machining/fabrication would have to be done? Is it even possible? Or would it be worth it?
Any input would be appreciated.
Brian
