Link to Ebay - one currently for sale - shows pictures of the 770 AT **** Transfer, Assy. removed from gun (needs replaced).
Gives a little better insight of the mechanism - appears to scoop up a BB during cocking and spring back to firing position...

Sorry to hear - I'm currently in a somewhat similar situation, but we're doing what we can.
Not a lot out there on the Model 770. Certainly an interesting mechanism.
Stay warm & get well soon!
Cheers!

That's the one - also considered the cheaper ones, but this "seems" to be a newer model w/ more features - at least I inferred that from deciphering
the "gobbledgoop" translated from the Chinese to Amazon and across the Web. Supposed to be here Monday?
Looking into carbon fiber tubes -...
Excellent Results!
The Model 95 was a joy to shoot - wish I still had one.
Was looking forward to squeezing in some serious testing, when my chrono (same as yours Terry) went into terminal error mode.
Luckily, still returnable, so packed her up and ordered one similar to BBC's from Actionunion...
Terry
Nice find! Haven't worked with the stuff, but it sounds interesting. I've looked into using precision glass tubes for barrels, believe it or not!
Enough business! - Let's get back to pleasure.
Enjoy the Holidays!
Cheers!

Terry - Let me guess - you were running low on "Unobtainium Tubing" & had to settle for Carbon Fiber?
Just a quick note - sacrificed another Red Ryder to the Mod Gods. Tore it down & installed my junk.
A few quick shots (no chrono) & everything seems in order. The cut down abutment was tapped...
Terry
I was confused because I saw only the M25 shot tube in the 1st picture, then later noticed the machined "work of art" in the 2nd.
Confirm that the abutment you drilled and tapped was a 499B abutment that either shot tube could screw into?
On the custom shot tube:
RR or M25 barrel?
where...
Terry
Pretty Work! - Pretty Work!
Confirm this was an older Red Ryder (vs a 1938b) with the old style screw in shot tube and you used the M25 shot tube w/ the loading port blocked off to make it a muzzle loader?
What's your technique for honing the cylinder? 3/8" spacer w/ Cobalt spring...

Thought about a tapered wedge shim - but that doesn't get around most of the above mentioned problems.
All my "beartraps" are long gone, but what I was refering to are the sheet metal rails or guides inside the receiver that the sear plate can contact
as it approaches the trigger. Note...
Terry
I was working the problem when my wandering abutment showed up.
The idea was to properly space the roller by epoxying a "U" channel to the "roof" of the receiver.
"A thing of beauty isn't it!"
Unfortunately - we are now playing "Wack a Mole"
the cocking lever tip hits it at its...
Terry
The "Roller" was one of my biggest frustrations - 4 iterations (all hand crafted - 1/8" id tube w/ various size rollers - attached w/ 1/8" pop rivet) and it still isn't right!
The trigger is the problem - if the roller is the proper size to do it's job (when neccesary), then as the sear...
