Whacky to say the least :eek:
This made from a previously cut down OEM G2 air tube, re-threaded with an In-line bottle adapter fitted which then has a Ninja 13ci Bottle & regulator attached.
Inside the air tube a vintage small seat & outlet WAR valve with a custom "Cobra" air spring & PEEK poppet. Out back a MDS lightweight hammer and internal SSG hammer free flight devise.
Up top the receiver has a thin poly spacer to raise height slightly so a retrofit 15mm .177 cal barrel was made to fit receiver, then diameter reduced where it passes over bottle.
Cocking bolt a modified piece utilizing a custom seating probe tip. Stock is a cut up Black poly shaped and re-profiled to fit bottle clearance as well be "Pistol" ambidextrous.
Fitted with a HAWKE AO parallax mil-dot optic using Sports Match rings.
* All said and done it is fully AAFTA Pistol class legal as configured.

OAL just shy of 24"
Barrel just shy of 15"
Belly forward of trigger guard just shy of 3"
Sub 12 FPE .. tho as set up will do @ 15 fpe with free flight on hammer reduced ;)

Shot cycle a very crisp "Snap" not being really that loud being non LDC fitted.
Accuracy is well within most FT Pistoleros skill set for PFT competition I'm figuring :rolleyes:

Anywho, just a share as I do a bit more fit & finish work in coming weeks and some clear weather to fine tune it in.
* Ultimately this Whacky little pistol is going to get sold at some point, as that was the intent having built it from stashed away extra parts & pieces from years of building other Marauder customs.


:D Scott

nice job , good looking gun .
Why the barrel shorter than the bottle and why not threaded for a screw on devise ? Or this barrel is what you had on hand ?

AAFTA in Pistol only allows a 15" maximum barrel length & no attachment etc being legal beyond that specification.
Done as a bottle conversion, using a "Drop Block" the bottle would likely extend equal to if not further than it does. * And thread on drop blocks are no longer made & would have used one if able to find one :confused:

Rainy day ... stayed inside with random trips to chrony station doing some serious tuning / altering internally getting the tune wanted. (y)
A lot got changed as what the pistolla wanted to cruise along at just shy of12 fpe and able to do a tad over if adjusted so ... while maintain a high level of efficiency found the internals installed previously kinda overkill. :LOL:

Out came the war valve, In went a modified factory valve with a smaller peek poppet & lighter spring.
Out came the Hogged out Gauge manifold, In went a factory gauge manifold yielding a much smaller plenum volume.
Out came the Super light MDS hammer W/ internal SSG, In went a medium weight MDS hammer w/ a de-stroked long strike nose & rear mounted SSG devise.
Out came the @ .150" transfer tube, In went a .120" transfer tube.

Now the pistolla "is-a-rockin" being SNAPPY ! with what is looking like stellar air usage. Testing at a 2k# fill with reg at @ 1450# we ran 30 shots in total over the chrony using ONLY 300# of air. Loose number on a 3K fill likely to yield @ 150 shots.

With the OEM gauge manifold I needed to use the adapter which dropped gauge a tad bit under stock ( Plenum pressure )
Wanted more cantilever on optics, so replaced mounts to a one piece able to move optics another 2 1/4" forward.

Anywho where I'm at it my tinkering to date on this unique little Hack job of a full size rifle :eek:

I've seen this before in old posts, it seems it's been in the workings for a while. Nice.
