So tell us - What's YOUR best build?

Be sure to bring it to the Northeast Airgun Classic to see how it stacks up against the competition!

I didn't build this but I did pay a little over $71,000 USD for it off eBay. Worth every penny. The trigger is basicly like a mouse click.

This one was only $900 to build. Cerakoted Avenger .22 in a Terminador folding Stock kit. $249 and it comes with the Grip, Stock and Bi-pod.

I seriously hope you're joking!

It's super rare.

....How come no one else is posting builds here? Was that just the name of the contest?
Post some builds!

I'll post one up!

My kral mega that I put an np01 barrel and np03 tube on. Molded a thumbhole stock off a jumbo to the mega front end.

I actually just swapped it over to a 425cc bottle and jumbo stock. Got tired of the 16 shots it had with the tube, so I'm getting 70 shots in 25 cal now on a 250 bar fill and the power is a little better with less noise. Sends AA 25.4s at 810 fps. She's just under 34" long.

That is super sweet, dude. A Cadillac for sure, well done.

Some builds are packed with too many secrets to post pictures of and disclose everything. But I certainly like looking at builds. Especially true builds. Bolt on specials are less interesting but as long as all the stuff bolted on achieves a goal, then that’s a great accomplishment too.

The level of cloak and dagger in your post made me think of the song "Tribute" by Tenacious D. The Jack Black humor may not hit home with the average Airgun Nation user, but your post prompted me to go watch it again for the first time in years. Yep, still hilarious.

I'm working on a Crosman 1322, but I'm waiting on parts from China. The quality of parts sold in the US has been a quick refund because they couldn't maintain quality control.

This might be considered a "true build."
A Cricket 35 cal. to .25 cal. conversion. Slug only gun.
The second Plenum Regulator is set at just under 120 Bar. 24 shots from a 260 Bar fill.
Shoots 46-50+ gr. slugs at 86+ FPE with more available.
The Balance Valve makes it extremely easy cocking, and unbelievably quiet.
The Custom Moderator and LDC only weigh 9.1 oz. and finish the quiet thing.
Done building it. Time to just shoot it.
Here's TOO many photos..........

Before.....looks unfinished.

Some of the parts made for this gun.

After I anodized everything.

Was a 35 cal. The red cocked indicator was just for fun because I could. Turns out I use it a LOT.

A tight tolerance slug mag. that holds long slugs.

Recent 5 shot slug testing, with the 30" barrel.

30" barrel 5 shot stats.

6 of 7 shots at 300 yards.

This was with the 23" barrel.

Here's how it turned out with the 23" barrel.

And this is the finished gun with 3 barrels.

@Long_Shot,

And now we all know your secrets. You opened the box of magic on the internet and let it all get out.

Kidding aside, AWESOME build!

 

[Vetmx]

Long_Shot, that’s a build. Very nice. What intrigued me the most is the cocked indicator. Small details can be as impressive as the big stuff.

Armada with side lever Breech , speed dial , dual wound spring, mds hammer, war valve … bored and radiused, Boyd’s stock, Crosman trigger guard, carbon fiber bipod. Have it set at 64 ft lbs with 33 grain hp from Dale riggert for 20 shots. Have hit 94 ft lbs with 48 grain up.

 

[Vetmx]

I just checked out the video at the top of the page. That isn’t bringing a scalpel to a knife fight. That’s bringing a sledgehammer to a croquet game. Good heavens, 250fpe. Metal targets are going to be in pain.

Not my best but a side project. Always liked the Huben action but wanted a conventional style. This started as a gk1. It will end up shorter (someday, lol) when I decide to cut the air tube down. For now, this is how it sits. Unregulated. Still needs some parts powder coated….

Crosman 1720 bottle build with a Marauder rifle .177 barrel. It groups a little better than it did with a 21" Discovery barrel, but in reality wasn't too shabby in that config either.
I did have to modify the loading tray, as the barrel had to have a little more clearance for the transfer port to align properly. Also, the lead on this barrel is a little tighter, plus being one inch shorter, it lost close to 35-40 fps, so I swapped the 1500 psi output reg for a 1800 psi reg. Shoots just over 19 fpe now, so still within Hunter Field target spec. Have a tin of the new Benjamin Match grade pellets on order, anxious to see how they do compared to AA 10.3 gr.

These are my three P-Rods - the one on top is equipped with a Marauder 20" LW barrel in .22 with a slightly modified Benjamin Fortitude tube & stock.
Middle unit is a stock P-Rod in a Tom West stock, and the one on the bottom is a P-Rod action in a 1701 tube.

And this is a Don Cothran 2250 build with one of his balanced valves regged at 1800 psi getting right at 30 fpe with 16 grainers. And a Grant Stace lefty breech with a really cool barrel band set up making it very sturdy with a stable poi.

All of my guns are "outdated" by AGN standards, but I'm ok with that. I'm comfortable with these formats and old enough to not care about keeping up with the latest and greatest. The GEEZER PARADOX indeed!
