Other AirForce Knockoff First Look + Other Pinty Guns

Build complete. 21" QB barrel with loading tray. Reduced the barrel to top hat distance. On the lowest power wheel setting 18gr FX pellets are at 890fps and on the highest setting JSB Knockout slugs at 25.4gr are at 920fps. Fully functional shroud plus a mod makes her backyard friendly for sure.

I know there are versions of this in .25, do you think there is enough gas to make it a decent .30 ? I have barrels in the .20 and .22 calibers also :)

The valve tophat only measures .312 on mine. You'd have to replace that and bore the cocking lug and add new larger orings on the .22 but probably not on the .25. I think with the longer barrel It with pellets it should make a decent shooter.

Ran a string over the chrono using JTS 18.1 pellets. The gun can use some adjusting but I want to wait until I get the HP BBT mold tomorrow. That will be my go to ammo for this gun so I'll want to tune it to those slugs.

Graph doesn't do it justice. 67 shots at a 14fps ES is hard to get in any rifle of any price point.

Yep, I know. Those series of back to back duplicate numbers were fun to watch and hear come out of the tablet. She sounded like a record skipping. lol
But still, I think I can make it better. What was even better was seeing every one of the shots go into a hole the size of a squirrel head at 35 yds.
And those pellets weren't as accurate as the slugs.
I like this gun... can ya tell?

That's awesome.
 
I still need to set up the mill to cut the slots you see drawn with marker but then it's just removing the front bushing and screwing on the functional shroud plus your favorite mod. 14x1mm to 1/2x20 plus 10" of functional shroud. Very quiet. I have a similar setup but I've drilled the valve larger and shooting 25gr slugs at 920 and still backyard friendly with the shroud and mod. There's an o'ring that goes inside the bottom cap you don't see in pic 4. I forgot to install it before taking the pic. That seals the rear of the shroud to the barrel so you don't feel backwards pressure and it only adds a few inches to the length. I'll be blueing the visible edges of the aluminum cap so it looks like it's a factory accessory.

Poured, tumbled and weighed a couple hundred NOE 217 30 FN/HP BBT 4 cav slugs this morning from the new mold after testing some samples.
Yep, P-Force has a permanent diet.
Do you end up resizing these at all?

I cast and resized a bunch of bullets in my Seneca Recluse that shows up today, I like the idea of casting .22 slugs for this and my Hatsan 95.
