I have had or still have most of the available breaches at one time or another. The CB breach is machined for an open rear sight as well as grooved for a scope. It's the only one on the market, I am aware of, that is built this way. It is lightweight and well made. It did take mine about a hundred shots for the bolt bore to smooth out. The fit is good on these and many like the natural aluminum finish. They are always available, which is a plus when you want to build another gun.



The Crosman breaches are heavy and have a sloppy fit in the bolt area. The barrels did not fit all that tight on the breaches I received either. They are grooved for a scope and dovetailed for the LPA MIM sight which was not initially available {see link}, unless you buy a custom gun. Crosman also has a short breech which is lighter with the same fit and finish as the long one. They come as a kit and can be purchased from the the Crosman websight. Really not a bad deal for the money and available most of the time.




The RJ breaches are steel and are heavier than the CB, Cutters and DAQ aluminum breaches I have. They come in open sight or grooved for scope configuration as well as the high breach pictured. The fit and finish is as perfect as one could ask for. Hard to say more than that. The Cutters breaches were the precursor to the RJs and my favorite in aluminum as they look so stock. Fit and finish is great on these also. RJ Machine does a run of this or that breach now and then when he receives enough requests for a run.




The DAQ breaches are still around and can be had here and there on used guns at bargain prices, a good thing to keep an eye out for. They also came in the open sight or grooved for scope configuration in both left and right hand. Perfect in the fit and finish arena also. My favorites in steel are the round DAQs found in some of the older top end kits for the 22xx guns, like the 9mm pictured, and on many of the other guns he still produces.
