Finished up my dream gun today!

[vmaxpro]

Been working on this r10 for quite awhile now. Its been a gun I wanted for a long time and I got to put some nice touches to it. Im extremely pleased with how it came out and would love to hear some feedback ( pos or neg)! Ive tried about 4 barrels and settled with the following:

Bsa r10 se .22 cal

lothar walther 23.8” polygon choked .630 dia

brocock magnum shroud ( functional)

donyFL sumo .22/.25

solid peek hammer with steel striker tip (18gram)

shortened spring

shortened stroke

peek valve .225 dia, .200 throat, .087 stem ( flat face vs stock tapered)

ported to .187 throughout 

ported and contoured probe

huma reg at 140 bar

light valve return spring ( ported cap)

280cc bottle ( thanks charlieF)

tuned trigger

MTC f1 4-16 ffp




Performance:

30 shots on reg

jsb 25.4 mrd’s at 955fps

50 yards has been one hole pretty consistent. No groups at 100 yet but some random shooting at cans etc. has shown them stable at that distance. Couple shots at small rocks out around 150 and still looks stable. Overall I dont think I could ask for anymore. The shot cycle is whisper quiet and short and snappy. Around 50fpe so plenty of power. Shount count is OK considering the bottle size. The report of the gun is unreal quiet so it will make a great hunter!

Congratulations on your R10 dream build! That has got to be the most powerful R10 I've seen! Nice mods, enjoy shooting it!

 

[CyberDyneSystems]

Gorgeous!

 

[Vetmx]

That’s an airgun!

 

[coolbananas]

Wow, that work is impressive and that gun looks amazing.

 

[vmaxpro]

Thanks! Only thing left to do is truoil or something to the stock.

Never had an R10 but always thought they were killer looking guns. Yours is excellent. 

I had an old Sportsman HV and the barrel was crazy good. 

If you have the factory barrel I'll buy it. 

Sweet rig dude!

Beautiful!!!

 

[Twinkees_n_Pb]

Very very nice. Congrats!

 I think they’re beautiful guns, for whatever reason they don’t seem to be as popular here as they are in Europe. Everyone I know that has one loves them. I think yours is beautiful and you’ve made some terrific modifications that should make it a great shooter. Nice work!

Agree with ya @Stoti ...'don't appear to be popular in the US'. Love my Ultra SE and son's JSR (or is it mine )...as much as my Revere and 510-xs TDR. All well crafted guns. Oh well wouldn't be enough to go around if we all like the same I supposed.

That's a sweet HUNTER for sure. I have an R10 SE / TH .22 "Nutmeg" laminate from AOA ($999.99) and it shoots around 830ish with JSB / FX 18 grain.

It's my only safe queen and I LOVE THAT GUN. 

It's kinda my 'go-to' for shooting flies in the backyard at 18yards. I definitely won the lottery on this BSA barrel, it's silly accurate.

Your setup would be a PERFECT HUNTER for me at the dairies.

That's a beauty of a gun @vmaxpro! I bet it shoots as well as it looks. Thanks for sharing!

 

[davelarson]

Nothing like a dream gun! And that’s a beauty, I always liked the looks of the R10. Plus they are very accurate from everything I’ve seen on videos. Nice rifle!

 

[vmaxpro]

Thanks everyone! So far it really likes the 25.4 redesignes. It does ok with the 18gr jsb but their a litte to hot to be accurate at around 1020fps. I was playing with some slugs and the 23gr looked awesome at 50 yards, .216 diameter. I worked up to .2175 and all the sudden accuracy went south. Went back to the .216 and they were bad, and so were pellets. Cleaned the barrel and it came back so I think the .2175 fouled in the choke it seemed like. Im just going to stick with pellets in it lol.

BSA makes super rifles. I had an original super ten 177 and 22...Of course mine only shot 23, and 30 foot pounds. Nice job!

Let’s see some of those groups

My laminate stock is cool but I actually PREFER the looks of your stock.

 

[Dairyboy]

Amazing looking gun! R10s are still one of the best looking Airguns out there IMO. There's not much that comes close to the looks and lines of what the R10s have. I had one in .177 years ago and it was a laser. Extremely comfortable to get behind also.

Always loved the look of those guns!
