I’ve joined the "Beastie Boys" club lol.

Well I was pretty happy when my Anthony266 24″ .25 barrel arrived the other day, really a beautiful barrel. As it turned out, it wasn’t exactly a ‘drop in’ procedure, as I found out last night. Had a heck of a time getting the bushings to fit in the frame, couldn’t even get the first bushing to slide in more that a 1/4 inch at first. I had to carefully file both of them down to make them fit. This fitting, filing, re-fitting took a while, but got that taken care of. My gun I think a 2005 model, maybe frame ID’s have changed slightly over the years?

So this morning was the sight in test, to see how this new barrel does. I’m waiting on a friend to machine a cap for my frame extender, so I can’t shoot outside. I shot from in the kitchen, thru the bedroom, and out the window to the target box in backyard, about 70 ft. The first thing I noticed was how weird it felt loading the 25’s… after you’re used to the feel of 22’s for years in your fingers, the 25’s just feel like.. crazy big in comparison.

My first groups to be honest, were dissapointing, I attribute this mostly because of my breach not being able to lock properly because I screwed the breach knob down to far, fixed that, and continued. Things were getting better, and did a couple groups that a dime would cover. The gun just feels a bit different shooting in this cal, as in feels pretty damn good! Loud as hell shooting inside with bare barrel..

I picked up a Hi Flo tank from Mac 1 Tim, haven’t even tried that yet, just shooting with the Talon tank for now, but with the Hi Flo this gun will surely turn into a “Beast”, I have no doubt! Just with the Talon tank, the impact is pushing my steel backed target box right off it’s stand!

Anyways, I took some pics of Beastie Boy, with new barrel. Can’t wait to see what this thing can really do at a freinds house who has 3 acres, (with crow and bunny problems) or at the target range. I gotta say, so far, I’m REALLY impressed!!!
