While reading this, bear in mind that I only have one remaining eye and am legally blind with no central vision, however I accomplished this task.
You need to have on hand, a Mrod 22 magazine, fresh barrel oring and fresh transfer port orings. You will need to replace the transfer port sleeve with the poly tube provided and use the fresh tp o’ring with the Poly tube provided.,
Installation is basically a simple replacement of the breech, the barrel installs in the usual way as does the breech, the sidelever is easily converted to left handed operation. The breech screws are reused. You will need the above mentioned orings however.
The breech was furnished with longer screws, a bolt cocking extension for use of a riser breech, which I did not use. It was also furnished with a ridged piece of poly tube which I used as the Benjamin transfer port sleeve will be too short to seal.
That poly tp furnished with the Exclusive breech was fit in the following way:
I measured the depth of the transfer port on the Exclusive receiver and the depth of the pressure tube tp port, added those measurements together and cut the poly tube slightly longer. The reason was so I had enough poly tube to grind the ends square. I squared the ends by chucking the tube up in my rechargeable drill and spinning the poly tube while holding it at right angles with my belt sander and just lightly kissing a worn sanding belt, this is a trial and error procedure with both ends, so go slow and measure each time you make contact with the sander. Once it was just a hair shorter of the sum of my measurements, I placed the 2 fresh orings in each side, meaning one in the tp port on the pressure tube and one in the breech, then assembled the two halves.
At first, I did not realize my barrel o’ring was worn, this resulted in a loud pop when firing. After several tear downs, Fuzzygrub fron the GTA said to check the barrel o’ring. Removing that o’ring revealed that it was worn, replacing it solved all sealing problems.
I did not have a Mrod magazine on hand so used a prod single shot tray, ground to fit, to test until I received the mrod magazine, excuse my ignorance, but the Mrod magazine is thinner in cross section so your existing Prod magazines will no longer fit. The trade off is two extra shots, so you can shoot two 5 shot groups with one magazine loading.
As the Exclusive sidelever comes with no instructions, you can view a video on their Facebook page that will help, while I converted it to lefty using the limited mechanical knowledge I posses without watching the video, I wouid recomend you watch it.
It truley is so simple a nearly blind man can accomplish the R&R from the Benjamin breech to one of the slickest modification I now have on what is now a 1100 dollar Prod. The breech is $135.00, if ordered on Facebook,with three day shipping from Thailand. Payment is via Pay0al and after contact Exclusive sends a request to your PayPal account.
For me, it solves double feeding, meaning no tear down to clear, and is effortless in operation. So far I have this excellent sidelever breech, a MMHF barrel, Bluefork Design trigger, AR Houge rubber grip, 16 inch shroud with AR flash hider, AR stock, Magpull foreend and a B-Staley mod. It is both cute and accurate.
This Exclusive breech is a game changer if you have either a Mrod or a Prod, it is that good.
Now for some pictures.
