I am kind of cheap for a joystick BR bipod, had some material laying around from my old-work projects and I made it right away as a vise/clamp/jig for a table top as well.

I am kind of cheap for a joystick BR bipod, had some material laying around from my old-work projects and I made it right away as a vise/clamp/jig for a table top as well.
So I got a longer barrel kit and decided to transfer my HUMA transfer port to it but could not use a pin punch as it would damage the bridge in the port.
I have a non marring vice grip but the brass is too soft.
so I got some copper tubing, cut a short section and another section length wise. de-burred it and now have something I can use to remove the transfer port
without damaging or gouging it. Works pretty dang good too!

Wooden dowels longer then a barrel and just a hair thinner then each caliber rifle. Perfect for installing breech seal o rings.

Just wanted to show the latest added onto my arsenal of wickedly tools-
Bench blocks are nothing new, but this caught my eyes due to the red section having magnets inside to catch the pins that fall thru. Very well made, about $15 thru the big A

and a 600mmx900mm 100w CO2 laser.
I'm liking these a lot. What brand are we looking at here? Can you give rough cost and size estimates for these? I've always though a combo Lathe/Mill/Drill machine might be nice but probably wouldn't have the absolute accuracy of separate units.

given they are green. I'd hazard a guess that those are Grizzly machines
the lathe looks like a G0602 - 10" x22" bench top and around $1900
the mill looks like a G0704 - 7" x 27" 1 HP Mill/Drill with Stand around $2000

A few years back I was lucky enough to get a used Grizzly 9x20 lathe . The ways have some runout and it’s cost me triple in tooling but overall very happy with it. Of course I’d love to have one of better quality with all the attachments. Numbered drill bit index is a must , an in/lb torque driver and wheeler gun smith screwdriver set. I’m a heavy equipment mechanic so the list of tools in my possession would be far too long to list. My friends all come to me when looking for specialty tool. If I don’t have the tool they need , I usually buy it. Most of the one I’ll never use it but you never know .

Thanks. Definitely something I'd like to add to all those other things I don't use

Gents,
These are primarily for my PB gunsmithing side, but they do come in handy for the PCP's.
But if my shop burned down tomorrow, this little bugger would probably be the first thing I replace.

Many of the tools used for powder burning duties work for air rifles. Calipers and micrometers used in reloading, as well as an accurate balance scale for weighing pellets. Many of the hand tools used on firearms work just as well on air rifles. Haven't bought any special tools for air rifles, just use the ones I always used for my firearms. Any place that sells tools for firearms will have most of what you need for air rifles.
