Partner's gun "Kaskad"

[EDgun]

I have a partner, who I work with for more then 10 years. He makes me the stocks for all my guns. ArtDecArt company, Saint Petersburg, Russia. Besides me and the owner of the company Alexander are friends for long time as well. Alexander decided to get into the PCP making. On one hand that can be considered as a possible compititor on the market for me. On the other hand I am not afriad of the competions, that just gives me moer reasons to improve what I made. And one more thing I believe that good people should help each other in this world and as I consider Alexander as good man and he is my friend I have nothing against to tell you about his new guns, first one. He came to me for few days to show it. Here is Alexander at my house's yard:

That is the gun, at my kitchen, when he showed it to me

In my workshop, where I disassembled it to see what it looks like.

Me testing it to shoot.

We even managed to use it for real hunting 56 meters, hazel grouse

That is customized famous Rusian spring gun IZh-61

 


Which was rebuild to PCP gun. It is five shot line magazine, caliber .177, unregulated. The average speed of the 10.8 grain pellets about 280-290 m/sec, with the platoo for 100 normal shots at least, installed the gauge to the reservoir. Name "Kaskad". I would consider it as a PCP gun of the beginner's level, not expensive, reliable, good accuracy and power. What do you think? With the best regards Ed

Ed I seen the prototype of a 9mm u 
were working on I been looking for a 9mm the choices r slim only 2 the raw very heavy and big 
and the cricket whitch shoots too slow 750 fps it's a rainbow trajectory we need a Edgun .35 for the jsb pellet 

 

[EDgun]

First I plan to make single shot R4 in .30, test new system, I think it will be OK for .35 as well.

Hi Ed! The estimated cost of this rifle is already known?

I like the looks of that gun. Any more details? Competition is what gives us the cutting edge performance.

 

[EDgun]

Will be anounced soon.

It is not going to get off my Edgun's. This morning I had to retrieve a pigeon from over a fence and through some bushes. Which I had shoot. To do this I had to lay the gun on the ground and climb over the fence then push through the bushes holding the gun. This got the gun wet, not a problem as the Edgun is simple to dry and clean. The detailed casing on the Kaskad looks a lot harder to dry and clean.

Looking at the gun again I would like to see the triangles in the casing over the barrel removed. The moderator could be made to screw into this case and would form a shroud over the barrel. I think this would be a better use than the weight saving of the cut outs. It would also make the gun easy to clean.
