If you were able to have an unlimited amount of money and you can go to any factory and build their new air rifle or pistol, which company and what would your idea be. I’ll go first.

I would build an FX. I would take the King And make it bull pup. Take the King, M4 and the Leopard and make a child. I would take the Kings block and over the barrel plenum and integrate it with a Leopard but able to customize it like an M4. Have a magazine the size of an M4 and be able to load the weapon like the M4. Be able to go from .177 to .35 caliber. I would use the quick tune system MAYBE the valve tune system but honestly the quick tune does the job pretty well for fine tuning by itself on the M4. I’ll make the trigger guard like the M4 for attachments. Cocking mechanism like the M4.

I know I know “Why not buy the M4” I like the simplicity and block and plenum as the King with the customizable abilities as a M4 and a bull pup. So what would be yalls builds?
 
I would build a delta wolf compact no chrony so as compact as an M3 or Epoch compact, but a smart enough onboard that you can program weight and caliber for the speed you want out of the projectile and know what it will do without a chronograph. With a smoth carbon fiber bullpup chassis. And make actual damn large magazines for it, lol.

I would head to RTI’s factory and say let’s build a traditional carbine rifle. Tube air tank, big enough plenum, their balance valve, 380-400mm barrel, full active shroud, laminate and walnut stock, about 36” OAL, quiet, powerful and no mod necessary. When you remove the action from the stock there are cut out areas where you can add lead or tungsten slugs to add as much weight as you want. You can purchase the slugs from your RTI dealer. Then film all the airgun hunters doing backflips.

Oh, one last thing. The RPB barrel will be threaded into the receiver. None of this multi caliber crap. It creates weaknesses. If you want two calibers because you love the gun, put on your big boy pants and buy two guns.

I would put an adjustable transfer port on the Skout Epoch or Evo and be done. It already has the rest of my wish list. Electronic trigger, single-digit spreads, power from 6 to 100 FPE with a single adjustment, instant barrel and caliber swaps, large diameter barrel, regulator that can be adjusted in either direction without degassing, large magazine in depth and shot count, and a balanced valve. Whew, I sound like a fanboy, but honestly those are all on my dream list.

Serious off-the-wall answer:

If I had unlimited money, air rifles are low on my list of things to fiddle with. When I got around to it I’d probably start my own company, buy my own factory, pay someone to do my research and development to produce the guns I’d want shoot that performs to my specifications.

I'd take this design and add the Edgun R5 barrel tensioning and 360 degree transfer port. The barrel would screw into the transfer port part (brass?) and be tensioned within the shroud via threads on the front of the barrel..so barrel threaded on both ends, but no transfer port cut into the barrel or rifling. This would accommodate caliber changes. ;)

I’m adamantly against modular airguns. So many guns out there could be so much better if this whole thought process was erased from the airgun world. A Taipan is not a modular airgun. Its track record speaks for itself. You want a .22, you buy a .22. You want a .25 long, standard or compact, you pick one and buy it. Then live happily ever after. Taipan is not the only one. I just used it as an example. Modular airguns are out there because of the after the big purchase money to be made on the back end. It’s not for the good of anything else.
