have not done much airsmithing lately, no job, and had a heart attack, but still so many plans to try.
later……

Finish pressure was 2675 psi. so only used 325 psi. So I need…Read more

So I now have a different looking home build.

Now it sports a .30 cal 25″ bbl.,and a laminated grip. With a notch to lock the breech slide forward, and a crossbolt safety.

It looks a lot leaner than before, I have been able to get 30 or so shots at about 65fpe., but…Read more

I have an 18″ barrel, my valve stem and tophat are all in one (integral). I went to a heavier valve return spring, but my air supply is low, and I don’t have a pump so the heavier spring was only tested with 2200 psi. It worked fine so far but I guess it is back to the firehall for some air. With all of my air…Read more

I lent my Bullpup condor to a friend while I was at work. He is an engineer in HVAC and quite a reasonable machinist, so I had no worries. But when I got the gun back it had the habit of dumping air fron 2500 psi. down to 1100 psi. I was only filling to 2500psi. but the first or second shot whoosh down to…Read more

It is a really simple single stage, just 6 parts counting the springs.

It is made out of 1/4″ high carbon steel (non anealed ) harder to work with, but no warping when it is re-hardened. i think next time i will use round stock for the link, easier to make, maybe use a piece of motorcycle spoke or the like.…Read more

The larger tank sure makes it look more robust, but the balance of it went out the window, it carries like an anvil. But i am sure it will be more steady.

Here is my new tank mounting block. I decided to have all of the plumbing in a seperate layer, so if i was to screw something up, it would only be the cookie.…Read more

So it is a nice break standing at the lathe for a while.
I changed the tank, went to a 48 cu. in. 3000 psi. bottle. So I had to make a new mount, but now I have a foster quick fill and a gauge. Also have to wait till I get some air so I can see how…Read more

As for using a rimfire barrel, they are a different size than those designed for airguns, but my home build has a rimfire barrel, and it shoots great 3 shots 8.5mm center to center at 50 yards. the secret of course is matching pellet to bore size. The air will expand the base of the pellet to fit, but the front driving…Read more

Of course this was what we planned on for valve travel limit so we will do the resilient plastic insert. I had already done this for hammer slap, and what a difference. I’ll…Read more

Put a type of wad under to bullet for insulation, and it also will act as a gasket. We have done this for years to get speed out of lead bullets, or to get higher speeds from soft…Read more

So filled all galleries and both cylinders with water, plugged in the fill probe, and turned on the air. I used 3300 psi. dive tank, but we only went to 2500, I got chicken. all held well, not a drop of water showing anywhere.
So dry everything out, and reassemble. first shot…Read more

So if your bottle is behind the grip , it must be a quite a bit lower? My son’s .30 cals’ bottle will have the top of it the same height as the shroud, and be able to pivot to adjust what thickness of cheekpiece he prefers. It is good to see you are not wasting your holiday time anyhow. later
