Hello everyone. Thought I might share some pics and info of my current .25 pcp build. I have been accumulating parts for a couple of months now, starting to do mock up now.

Starting off with a Don Cothran SS 2260 pcp tube. I went ahead and ordered it with one of his big valves.

I think it will work well, maybe a little too well in .25, but I have to start somewhere.

I really like Mr. Cothran's work. He uses a nice threaded end cap.

I had planned on going with SS and tactical black, but decided to try a different route this build.

I saw Boyds offered a nice laminate package for the AR platform, so I ordered a grip and stock.

I still have more parts showing up almost daily, good thing I get home before the wife does!! I have a BNM .25 breech, 19" barrel and 23" shroud on order, hoping to lay hands on it soon. There are several fitment issues, luckily I have a good friend that is a machinist to assist me. So far I am stoked about this build. 
I have intentions of shooting this mainly bench rested, and maybe tethered. If all goes well, I will start planning a .357 or .44 build, eventually for deer hunting.
Thanks for looking, more pics, and test data as soon as I get it all together. Erockrocket

I see work in my future..."good friend" that was nice I think he was cursing me when we were hunting easter eggs yesterday. I got the last one at 40 yards.
