I don't know if we have done this or not, but it really is manufacturing in its highest form. It is north of 30 minutes long, but an amazing watch.
We don't need no steenken' Daystate or FX
- Thread starter Springrrrr
- Start date
Lol, I wouldn't consider their process in manufacturing a replacement for current standards held by companies like Daystate and FX. However, I am impressed with their craft.

The sad fact is there is more stuff made like this than a person realizes and im actually suprised there were no kids in the manufacturing process. It realy is craftsmanship when a useable product gets made from raw materials without cnc and computers and robots doing everything. The old world industrial production amazes me

Absolutely fascinating; I simply could not stop watching. Finished the whole 34+ minute video and came away most impressed with the following:
- the dust free work environment
- boring the barrels by hand; the FX liners have nothing on these barrels
- the ability to freely take hits from a bong at the workplace (@ the 13:30 mark)
- the 18lb trigger
- there didn't appear to be a single o-ring anywhere in that rifle (take note, FX!!!)
- spraying Mtn. Dew straight out of the bottle onto the CNC to keep things cool

Wonder how they shoot? After watching the barrel boring Process anything short of a shotgun pattern at 50 yards would impress me.

They shoot by being cocked as any springer, loading a .218" pellet into the .2285123" hand bored breech, locked, and pulling the 18 lb trigger with hopes you can hit whats inside the 1" iron sight from 5 feet away like in the video.
Oh you probably meant how well they shoot....yea they shoot well, at 5 feet.

I’m most impressed by the front sight installation, and the extreme alignment precision of the mallet.

I was maybe 4 or 5 when I shot my mom dead center in the forehead with one of those suction cup dart pistols the full length of the kitchen. After my beating, I was reminded of gun safety. HaHaHaMaybe they built my Crosman Shockwave?
Chucking a handful of pellets would be just as accurate! I liked how he wiped off the metal shaving from the long bit with his bare hand. We can sit and laugh but, too be that crude of a builder takes some super natural skill.
