She needs a proper stock and were in busness! Quackenbush .58 cal pistol I recently acquired. Shes a TON of fun so far

My .22 custom Falcon FN-12, rescued from the scrap-heap after the seller failed to package it adequately enough to prevent package handler APES from almost destroying it. They did destroy the repeating function when the action blew out the end of the foam-lined hard-case when an APE dropped it off the back of a truck onto pavement. I couldn't save the repeating function, but at least she still survives as a single-shot.

Shoots 3/4" - 1" average five-shot groups at 50 yards with 18.1 JSBs at 700 FPS.

I also refinished the stock into a work of soft-luster ART.

Sorry to hear about the abuse, it’s terrible that people treat other’s belongings with such disrespect. That stock is unreal!

I had almost forgotten about this particular combination of Legos.... This is one of about a half dozen different pistol/carbine configurations this kit can be configured for. Not pictured are the 12" and 16" barrels, tube extension, AR buffer tube adapter/stock and a few other odds and ends.

This one has no real use other than being loud, obnoxious, and giving reactive targets a pretty good thump.

Gen 1 Mrod /Brod tube
B&A breech
Prod trigger assembly with raised sear,
Cothran valve,
9" TJ's 1:26 .357 barrel.

Does 3 shots with JSB 81gr 680fps, 615fps, 580fps

Tell us about yours?
Wow @mackeral5
That is a beautiful build!

Please excuse the n00b question. Is that a 22xx build?

Cheers

No longer own it, but had a .50 Quackenbush for a few years. De-tuned it in order to get a bell-curve power-band. As excerpted from Custom, Classic & Otherwise AWESOME AIR PISTOLS!

181gr Speer .495 balls, 3000 PSI charge, 6 shots recharging every other shot- Low= 567, High= 587, ES= 20, SD= 7, Avg= 579 FPS/135 FP.

As received, this .50 pistol produced 640 FPS on the first shot and 550 FPS on the second. After a re-seal and much de-tuning, it now returns 2 consistent shots per charge.
8/12/2012- With 9X scope and shoulder stock, 5 two-shot groups at 50 yards averaged .95” c-t-c. All 10 shots went into 2.5” c-t-c at 50 yards.
11/20/2015- With 2.5X LER scope, 5 consecutive two-shot groups at 35 yards averaged .61” c-t-c. The smallest group measured .22” c-t-c and the largest measured .90”.
This thing opens some interesting hunting possibilities… that I fully intend to explore.


I did.
Thank you for sharing @AirNGasman

I never heard of .50 Quackenbush

Great thread, @mackeral5! Keep the hand canons coming

Hello everyone,

Here is my Snowpeak PP750 .177 caliber Pistol with a UTG 3-9x32 Bugbuster, Mil-Dot, 1-inch Tube, Scope and Buck Rail Barrel Band and AT-1 Bi-Pod and Hatsan Air Stripper. Extremely accurate and a ton of fun to shoot both indoors and outdoors.

I am unfamiliar with that gun. Can you elaborate ?
It is a .457 built with parts machined by Don Cothran. The builder Airgun Revisions is also on this board. It gets 3 full powered shots. I have really good results with NSA ammo dish based from 196 to 290 grain. I also use hornady round ball 143 grain. It can get over 200 ft lbs.

That’s a hand canon ! It’s a looker as well. Impressive
