Other AirForce Knockoff First Look + Other Pinty Guns

Update... Had a forum member send me a 70g hammer from Trajectron to try out in this and meanwhile @thammer reworked my sear. We all know that the magic he does with the stock bits allows for around a 2lb trigger pull, but how about a .68lb trigger pull?
Yep... paired that sear with the Trajectron hammer and tested and felt really light. Used my trigger pull scale and gave it a few tries and three pulls averaged to .68, just over half a pound. Very crisp.
I beat and banged the sides, back and all over trying to get a misfire and couldnt get it to misfire at all. The Trajectron hammer is slightly longer than stock so does add a little preload to the spring so may need to back off the hammer spring a bit, but a quick check on the chrony only showed a marginal increase in power, still under 900fps with JSB 18gr and so all good.
Pretty stoked about this. The trigger was the only downfall I had with this gun and now that's a non issue.

Had a QB style barrel lying around that was really accurate. Also has a loading tray precut. A B¡tch to turn with no rear support but works. No slop in the cocking. Lots of sandpaper used in this and still ugly but I can put the barrel closer to the tophat for more power. Also ported the valve slightly larger for a faster blast of air.

Seems I am the last place on the brown truck route. My P-force is due in by 7 PM tonite. It is so light! I pulled my Oneleaf commander off the Blitz and will give the P-force a go with it. Just too much weight, the Blitz is plenty heavy as is. Hope it gets here sooner rather than later.

Threaded 1/2-20 ready to re-blue and test out. Not counting the tray it's 21-1/4" long but sits almost an inch further back in the action so only about 5" sticks out farther than factory.

Good looking thread thammer. I would like to get my hot little paws on a lathe. I've got a poor man's mill 
my old Jet drill press and a cross slide vise. Very "manual" I'd like to find a nice older Jet lathe, loved their stuff and they were the cheap alternative back in the day.

Hooray! Sooner rather than later! Of course still shipped with bolt handle in place. This one is in fine shape. The bolt handle had chewed up the box, but did not chew through all the way. I got my Oneleaf mounted up and fired a round or two for function. So far so good. I'll go back down and zero it and shoot a bit and take a couple pics, it's a 250 dollar rifle with a 750 dollar optic. It does seem to make a GREAT combo, the weight is quite reasonable and the optic height is just right on it's Std. mount. Plenty of choice for the UV flashlight too. Should be good for head shots on the water rats, if not I'll put it back on the Blitz. Pics soon.

So far, so good, the target was only 8 meters and that trigger makes it a challenge. The Oneleaf is great on this rifle it may just stay there. It is a beast. Pellets were H+N Baracuda 18 grain. I'll get to work on the trigger tonite, it is awful. I set the power wheel at three tics with the screw head, have not checked FPS, seems pretty stout.

I have a silly question which I could probably answer myself if I were patient enough to wait the 3 days until my PForce arrives.
The cocking lever location on the AF guns is on the top under the scope mount rail. Could the PForce be made to move the cocking lever to that location and if so, would it help out that sloppy fit?
I know it's probably an expensive way to go about it unless a guy has a AF parts gun but, can the parts of the AF gun be used to move the cocking lever?
BTW... I think I would like the lever location of the AF better than the PF.

It would not help with the slop. The slop is due to tolerances. Mine was good enough to not be an issue, just have to 'guide' it a bit and it's second nature now. I prefer this location opposed to the AF location by far and have wondered why AF doesnt adopt it to be honest. I've seen several mod their AF guns to get this kind of cocking knob location.

I've already turned the 14mm Threaded section on my factory barrel to 1/2x20. If someone can get me an accurate measurement of the thread length on the factory barrel I'll make up a batch of adaptors to allow 1/2x20 mods to attach to the factory barrels for anyone interested. Probably $25 each and will be blued.

Here you go... I'm about to head out for the day but if you need more, I can square you up later this afternoon when I get home. Angle of the pic looks short in the top pic, but as I looked at it dead on, it looked good. Just had to take the pic at an odd angle.

Here's what I thought would look best. I'll blue the OD but not the thread since they are covered anyway.

That was quick, and perty. From what I've seen, should be same on P-Pup and P-Rifle. This might fix my biggest issue with the rifle.
