Yeah and the stock adapter for the Prod for me is entirely unusable, I have two of them in my parts drawer I should sell. The unit that Gepeto on gta makes is said to be entirely rock solid, just hard to find used. I have the Exclusive side lever breech, a gun show find that I think is a older gepeto adapter, perhaps not what he makes these days, a Bluefork design trigger group AR Houge grip, Marmot Milicia hammer forged barrel that ends in a AR flash hider and is enclosed in a Modded Ar tube forearm.
The tube and valve are replacements but OEM.
My trouble with my Prod is that it eats tp orings and the barrel oring often wears out or just blows out.
I had been sealing that exclusive breech with rigid tube and Hills square breech orings, but it sends them through the transfer port and out the barrel, I found one in a bullet hole recently. When I replace that oring, I find the breech oring hanging on the pellet probe. All this with a sub 10 fpe tune and Bstaley mod.
My barrel was the last one Jim Gaska made and I think the oring groove is not deep enough, coupled with the EXclusive side lever breech pellet probe being a few thousands under. A new and larger pellet probe and a deeper oring groove would fix things, but do not know who to send it to. I recently sealed the tp with a soft plastic refrigerator tube cut a thousands over, not shot it much since then.
The Skyhawk was a 45 fpe gun but the Huma went tits up and I could never reseal the pressure tube although two other smiths did with no problem at all, which indicates my skills these days. I recently gave the plenum to Jungleshooter but have not heard if he got it up and running.
The Skyhawk has that lovely stock and a LW poly choke barrel.
Both are stunningly accurate, troublematic and tuned to be sheet rock guns, meaning when you get that inevitable ldc pellet clip you can pull the pellet out of the Sheetrock. Both guns are inside shooters and the Sheetrock tune is around 350 to 400 fps and I shoot at ten yards.
The most accurate of the two is the one that is actually up and shooting at any given time, like British Leland cars you probably need two of each to have one running.
The NPO3 seems to have everything my Prod has but also has more power and a Kral side lever. I did not know about the stock, but it seems there are at least a few variations. A 25 with a amputated choke to shoot my cast bullets would be great.
The original prod Bullpup stock kit he made was a neat little light wooden stock, so short you could easily shoot your finger tips.
