Hey Walther,
Beautiful Work ;) - How does she shoot?
Thanks, with its previous 8.2 inch barrel it shot .22 14.3 cp at 460fps and 1 inch groups at 35 yds.
With the new 12 inch barrel it gained 14.2 fps per inch so about 514 fps. After B Staley debounce mod it dropped to 495fps .
have not been able to get it outside to see how it’s grouping at long distance. But at 30 feet it’s one hole.
time, money and a lot of work, imagination is shown there
i di see a lathe and that helps with some of the work as in making the tube end 90 degrees
for those who don't have a lathe you will find pipe collars and a disc sander for a drill will do the job

nice job tinkering i enjoy myself
My little unimat lathe bore is too small for 12mm barrels so I have a system using my bench belt sander a gig to hold barrel and spin the barrel counter clockwise using a hand drill. Works really well. I use the lathe for making my airstrippers , shrouds and bolt handles as well milling operations as it is convertble to mill.
