Wow thats a big machine.. what are you going to make with such a monster?
Airtube and inlet valve, sidelever linkage and probe, magazines. Everything else has been replaced or modified. The only parts I actually had to replace (weak links) were the valve and sidelever, others just required some minor or major modifications.
Anything still stock on that thing? 😛
So what is the best 9mm BP out. Light, short, accurate, quiet, magazine, and nice trigger? ❓
My Evanix Blizzard pup, 200fpe – 5 shots or 136 fpe – 14 shots. Quiet, 7 shot magazine and very nice trigger.
Wingman. I just purchased a clausing colchester 17×80 with a 12″ 6 jaw chuck. Sony draw. Taper. 4 jaw. steady rest. Following rest.and 3 inch hole Tru the chuck. Can’t wait to get it home.these are getting real hard to find in good shape. Also has metric and regular threading.
Exquisite craftsmanship WingMan ! 
Makes me wish I took more Mechanical Engineering classes instead of Electronic ones.

Cheers mate, I always have something on the go in the workshop 🙂
Heres a few build threads:
WINGMAN. WHAT A WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORKMANSHIP. HOW DO YOU find THE TIME TO MACHINE ALL THE COMPONENTS. Great talent with a lathe and mill.
Wingman,
How much and can you deliver to US?

It gets me 17 shots from a 240bar fill in .30 cal (105gr HP) so Id say just a few less in 125gr hp 9mm bullets but a few more with 35cal JSBs..
Very nice. How many shots do you think at full power?

Id say there is no production PCP Pup that meets those standards, Im currently making a 9mm receiver and cyl to fit a 9mm barrel to my .308 Pup as Ive been keen to see what kind of accuracy you can get from those JSB 35cal pellets..
My custom pup weighs 3.5kg with the scope (7.7lbs).. much lighter than all my other bullpups and the trigger is fully adjustable and crisp. I plan to sling 125gr Hollow points to 850-900fps ( 200-225ftlbs) and have a second hammer spring for the JSB pellets to experiment with different velocities also..
Theres plenty of room for a over barrel type shroud but I have the luxury of country living so noise isn’t an issue for me..
Sounds like about 815 FPS for the 77 gr @ 115 FPE. 20 full power shots. Heavy for 33″ long.

not much info on them guns yet, but the few I heard so far spoke of dismal accuracy, lest see when more are in the hands of buyers to have a real beat on the fat lady :biggrinn: :biggrinn: :biggrinn: :biggrinn: :biggrinn:

I do repair work on heavy equipment. Hyd. Cylinder repair.plus a little tool and die work. I grew up on previous 1940 and 50 Era machines. Monarchs. Sidney. These older lathes where nice and solid put they had two major flaws. The holes Tru the chuck and no metric threads. With the machine you have your doing a better job then I could. Great talent use it so you don’t lose it
