Man, that build is amazing. How your used so many different parts from other airguns. I've been dreaming of something just like this to carry in a backpack with me when I go deer hunting to take out and use for squirrels from time to time. Thumbs up all the way.
Thanks Gunny, the USN give me a lot of machinist training, later I learned CNC programing after I got out.
Thanks, that air tank came from my Notos that I converted to bottle, this was my truck gun for when deer hunting and I see some small game like this grouse.
Same here, marines taught me to fix helicopters, later did hotrod's and engines, moved to hydraulics, now in a different field all together. Only wrenches I turn are on my hobbies and honey do lists. Got a laithe not to long ago and it not only keeps me entertained with my hobbies, but also builds things for around the home. Got to tinker with this little bad boy again today. Going in with a custom hammer, valve mods, and 3000 psi bolts. On the back burner till next weekend. Aiming for 2 mags.
Yup, I worked on E2C's Hawkeyes and C2 cargo planes with T56 turboshaft engines, below is my 1st airgun I mod when I was stationed in NAS Cubi Point PI. This was a local version of the crosman 160 that I made into pistol.
Genob, that is even cooler than the other build. Wonder if you realize this build looks almost identical to a Remington XP700 bolt action pistol from back in the day?? Dang that is sweet. I almost hate to ask, but you got any more airgun homebuilt goodies you care to share pictures of? You are most talented for sure.
Yes it is, I have a lot of PB hand cannon I call it. XP700 in 7mmBR and 22PPC. I also have a custom one made by the late Melvin Forbes in 7mm/3000. This one he made to my specs and later he did offer a few more hand guns, but he was very famous for his accurate light weight riffles.
Up close. I used a smaller drill bit than the rod and just honed it to fit. It doesn’t even need the screw to secure it; very solid and tight. The O-rings are there to hide the hole rim, although I was able to drill it really clean.
It's my kind of thing too. But most of my big projects are on the back burner until after hunting season ends. Turkey and coyote are left on the list.
It’s a cheap mod, B sir, not even $50 was spent

It elevates to about 35mm (ideal for the PROD action with its high breech) but could go more if I change the rod.
