Another note, the ring around the hole in the target and the trigger face are steel. Scrap from a clothes dryer if I recall. Somewhere, I have no idea where, had a really good write up on making these. My cousin was in grade school then, and now she is a professor at a college, so that...

See attached sketches for a better explanation. I will try to post a video later of operation. The springs are only needed when the target is not level.

We had 2240 based carbines in 177 and they reliably fell even at 50 yards with those little plinkers. On the other end, my s410 did not hurt them, as long as you hit steel.

The springs were a solution to terrain. If the target is placen on a hill, facing down hill, the front piece "hangs" down and you can hit the rear trigger plate but the target remains upright. Adding the spring makes the target work even if it is straight above you in a tree.

Figure I would share my old knockdown target design. I made up a dozen of these a various critters years ago for me and my cousin to bang away on. Fun and relatively simple projects.

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5026987 There are a few things on that page. The only issue I had was the provided design is for 22cal. I tinkerered with the model a little to get it to work with .177 premiers.

Picked up this old American classic for 15 bucks the other day. Some fresh seals and a quick printed ldc and it is a great shooting pistol. Stacking premiers at 5 yards. Dose anyone have a drawing for a flat top piston conversion on these. I may fire up the lathe and make one if I can find a...

Well I pulled my old disco out recently and decided to try adding a magazine to it. Unfortunately it seems the gravmags are nolonger being made. A little searching and I found something similar on thingeverse. It works well! The only issue I have is pellets occasionally getting turned and...
