    N/A Most powerfull pcp pistol?

    I built this particular pistol before I was a member here, but I also need to get the valve patented before I could share any details of it. The pistol itself is super simple with a minimum of parts for reliability and weight savings.

    N/A Most powerfull pcp pistol?

    I made all of my stuff from scratch, including the valve which smokes his guns.

    N/A Never seen a moderator clip this bad.

    This will continue until suppressors are only used on barrels that are directly threaded to a concentric bore.

    Other Girardoni (wind rifle) circa 1779

    Alot of people mistakenly think that old equals inferior. I rebuilt a Benjamin "Franklin" 310 for a guy and was surprised to see that it had lead seals which apparently worked well enough to come with the same thing in the rebuild kit. The engineering was simple and effective. The same quality...

    N/A New prototype.

    Well I finally got the hammer and trigger assembly done and the assembly into the stock. Don't mind the tape holding it together temporarily lol. I don't know how I managed it, but I did some more work on the valve. It was dumping the whole tank before but now it's only using about 250psi a shot...

    Finally got to mess around with it a little today. Got the rear cap finished that's part of the hammer housing and made the trigger. Tested the new valve at 3000psi.

    N/A New prototype.

    Got to mess with the 308 today. I made a balance valve for it which I have to pin so I only tested it at 1650psi and got 750fps. I should still go supersonic at 4000psi. Tomorrow I'm going to be making the trigger, hammer and cocking assembly along with a cap to finalize the rear of the...

    What does Analyazing your target holes tell you.

    They either keyhole or hit straight through. Analyzing the paper is going to be more telling of different paper compositions. I think some people over-think things.

    A day in the finishing room. Blasting and blueing.

    Thank God. I do traditional hot caustic bluing and it saddens me when people use cold blue to refinish a whole gun.

    A day in the finishing room. Blasting and blueing.

    Are you doing hot blue or touch up cold blue?
