JTS My bartered for JTS Airacuda Max .22 Build

[_CTAIRGUNNER_]

Today's goal was to finish the shroud, and it is done.


Not the best work, im using no machine shop tools for any of this, a true diy out of a home owners garage haha.


Anyways, ends are epoxied in, grub screws (m4x.07 stainless) installed and ready to be snugged to the barrel. End cap spray painted.

Welcome back! Glad you are shooting again! I bet your pup missed doing that with you!

Nice work and a lot of fiddling to get it where wanted !!!
It is soooo relatable as I too have taken BOTH of my AIRACUDA ( Max & a Standard ) to be something far removed from as delivered from factory.

Tinkering & fabrication is FUN !!!!

Thanks @Motorhead

Not bad for a mechanic in the garage!

It's not done but I wanted to bolt everything together after all the work and make sure everything still fit as it should

Just have to thread the barrel, order the tko, and then I'm gunna reseal her , air her up, and let em rip.

What’s the plan with threading the barrel? Are you going to tackle that on your own or send it out? I worked on a few myself and even the most expensive barrels have off centre bores. Make for a real pain when crowning on a lathe.

Very nice !!

Cool project man! I liked my Pre production prototype I got to test. Until I slipped while handling it and essentially made the gun unusable. Was surprisingly nice for what they are.

Thats what I am working with ... Pre-production test rifles. Never seen or even handled one of the official release rifles. For what they are, I'm happy for sure !!

i got to shoot one a few weeks ago and they are very nice shooters. my buddy also remarked on the wood finish and how he ended up refinishing it himself
