New project a .457 The Heat is on Voltar & CygnusX

WOW Great gun… makes my .22 condor look like a daisy red ryder… LOL… not to put down the red ryder… it is a great gun.. just a little under power thats all… but keep up the good work…

Any accuracy testing gun done? Let us know when you plan on selling samples of your creation… looks like a really fun gun to shoot

i think my valve ID is .25, and the seat is about .308

heres a video of it

also you might wanna look out that you dont get a bouncy valve like this

and finally heres a bloodnop valve

and this was back when it was not making that much power

at 500+ fpe a 405 grain has the power to topple over that pc case that i shoot at hehehe

looking good , i make alot of big bore ag’s , just wondering what size port you are going with in the valve, most of my guns are not with in line valves .and none with inline big bore …. so i im curios as to what inline valve size youd go with for the .45 , takes alot of stuff to move a 200-300gr slug .

hello fellow airgunner! 8) man, you’re doing an awesome job there mate! keep up the good work. cheers, vincent

Hey Walter,

Good to hear from you again!!

Na haven’t experienced a point to that feature. As hunting isn’t allowed here? What’s yours doing at the moment?

And since we are at it. might be a nice moment to post some pics of your work here walter? With the TOG on a low profile at the moment?

I would love to get a gettogether with all of you guys here on TAG/TOG. Like a fun shoot! But haven’t got the momey so that would never work 😥

Regards and take care,

Marc

ohhh yeah you got bit by a mad machinist/talon bug….

my absolute max was with purelead 500grain and it hit 604 FPE, roundballs can reach 1100 fps…which is prolly the more useable of the two since 1000-1100 fps, is really flat, and on most game will prolly be just as lethal

word of advise…clean all lube off the ammo…it will faul the barrel and not do any good anyways

Bar in a lathe, I’ve heard called line boring. We use a piece of hardened drill rod as a tool, just grind a flat (for set screw, holds tool in place) on the side and put a fine thread set screw in behind for adjustment.

If you use a follower rest, you’ll get a very steady cut.

Just for the record, I just made a layout and using 1.25″ dia. square end end mill with the head set at 45 degs. it misses a true radius by .012″, but if I lean the head over to 30 degs from horizontal it comes out .001″ off.

I would have never tried thinking without checking it would have been farther out than that.

Just shows you what I know. 🙂

I plan to bolt and bond the upper and lower rails to the frame tube.

I’ll use AEROPOXY STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE-ES6209, probably no need for the bolts, but why not. 🙂

Thank you very much for the info.

Are the people on this forum great or what?????
