Other Let's see your custom airgun parts

[Coxworkshop]

For much of my life I've been of the belief that custom parts are silly. More expensive and often without any functional advantage. But in recent I've done a total 180 on that belief. I see the art in custom work. Maybe some have no functional advantage but looking cool is enough sometimes. So lets see your custom parts.

I'll start. I'm a sucker for anodized titanium. This is a custom cocking knob for an Airmak Arms Krait Lite. Really enjoying the gun BTW.

Well, I didn't make the parts but I customized my wildcat with a sling stud setup that doubles as a bipod and the DonnyFL fatboy on the end keeps it short and quiet.

Everything is compromised from the factory. I modify all my stuffs.

I'm the same. That's what drove me to sell my huntsman revere. I couldn't keep it without tinkering and that's a gun you just don't do that with.

Here are some custom and customized parts for my Wildcat MK 1. Bottom picture is the barrel work done when I cut it down from the breech end and then machined the necessary steps and threads. It shows the part I cut off above the modded barrel with duplicating work still in the lathe chuck. Next one up is a replacement trigger guard I made with picatinny rail for bipod or tripod mounting. Third from bottom is the air tube I cut down and threaded, with the adapter I made to allow a factory FX bottle adapter to be fitted. The top picture shows how it all works together including some of the stock mods (chopped the front off, inletting for the dropped 170cc FX air cylinder, cuts for gauges front and rear, and some of the cuts to fit the trigger guard) and the mag holders I made out of black acetal.

Is that some odd anodizing or is it polished then had some heat put to it ? That's not anodizing.

I made some car parts out of Titanium, then put a torch to it, exactly the same coloring, and it was free.

Yeah anodizing titanium is a very different thing from anodizing aluminum. It’s actually an oxidation process. The depth of the oxidation determines the color. It can be done through heat as I did here or through a chemical electric process. And yes it is conventionally called titanium anodizing.

I would love to take credit but I have a good friend who is a machinist by trade. I come up with the creative designs and put it on paper. He machines the parts. Its a beautiful relationship and he's a good friend.
Along with the above people it's a blessing to be able to make parts and custom stuff to your hearts content. Or atleast the ability of the wallet lol
