Got married, had two kids and bought a house. Time flies.

Is anyone still shooting condors and talons these days? Lots of new stuff out.

Bullets are coming out between .311-and .313, and thats given my sloppy first-timer technique.

If anyone needs a shit-load of Lyman alloy in the NY state area, please let me know 😳

Once I get my sea…Read more

Now, have I made a mistake as far as matching the Lee mold to the barrel liner from Brownells?

As I’ve never done this before, I don’t know how much of an effort should be required to get the bullet grooved.

Currently, even a few sharp hammer…Read more

I went with 32-20 primarily because I could not find any matching molds + barrel liners for much else on my online-hunt last week.
The liner is from Brownells, .311″ groove diameter, .505″ (12cm) O.D., 1-18 twist, 25″ (63.5cm) long and the mold is a Lee 311-93-1R.…Read more

I haven’t been getting any PM notifications for the past couple of days, nothing being blocked by spam filters that I can see…

I’m just tickled that you dig the pellet holders guys. Thanks.

The 120psi my shop compressor deals out is not enough to push a pellet through a barrel, so its time to move on to high pressure testing.

I love working on the the lathe and mill. If my HS had had a machine shop I would have definitely gone down a…Read more

there would be zero “backwards force” generated by this design.

Glad you likey! 😉

Lurker and Riff!: Damn! Glad to be a part of your setups! Great pics guys, much appreciated!

The trick is then to delay the air by 20ms or so. What you have then is a glorious 10ms window where the pellet is literally shot out of cannon,…Read more

This ate my weekend whole!

Let me know how they work out for you guys, lets make this thing better!

I have a monstrous, but slow opening valve that could use all the resistance possible in-barrel.

EDIT: It all depends on your scope and left/right mounting preference.

I’m using a set of “UTG Max Strength LE Grade Quick Detach Picatinny Scope Rings (2 Piece, 1-Inch Diam, 4-Screw Lo Profile)”.

With these I get 0.8″ of clearance between the scope tube and the pellet holder base itself (just right, I think). If you are going to…Read more

One ring is pleeeenty strong enough.

To those that ordered already, this version of the cap can be acquired for $15 bucks shipped. These take quite a bit longer to print as well as use more material and supports.

New takers, I’m thinking $25 shipped, but please don’t hold me to that, I still have to figure out exactly…Read more

Check out this latest one:

Alu:…Read more

The question is, will such small bit of ABS hold up to all that leverage? Probably not to the degree that we’re hoping.

Now, if I center the rail on the spin axis and make the thing about half the size, we probably have something that could work.

I’ll let you know what shakes out.

Something along these lines is what I gotta figure out for RiffRaff 😛 :

Except it looks like he’s customized the crap outta that frame, so all we can mount onto is the scope itself right?

Is that an M1913 rail I see on your gun, Riff?

😀

If you want one, just PM me!

Ok, .25 caliber version ready to go.

I just touched my first .25 cal pellet.

I know what you guys mean now when you say its hard to go back down, and I haven’t even shot one yet.

Thanks guys!

Random Fact: Each of these things takes exactly 2 hours and 27 minutes to print!

Ok, so here’s where I’m at:

I added some material to certain sections for strength and ease of production, more relief to the grippy side of the thing, as well as peek-holes to the top.

I can start dishing out .22 cal versions of this thing as soon as tonight, .25 cal will have to wait until the .25 pellets…Read more

Also, I what’s the width of the strap you’re gonna use? Right now its a stand-alone case.

I’m actually quite happy with how smoothly the detentes ended up working.

Do you guys think there would be a market for this? I could do $10 a pop plus shipping, 3d printed.

I sure could use the funds for getting “that other thing” done.

Thanks!

I’m working on some nylon draft parts now, so far she’s being a fuckin dreamboat.

Perfect size for my needs too, anything larger I wouldn’t be able to get away with.

I’m waiting on covering the rear guts until I see how the spent casings eject “au natural”.

Drama queens came out to play! 😉
(I love the vibe on these forums, just a bunch of dudes comfortably talking shit. 🙂 )

Dude, nobody is telling you not to develop an awesome semi mod for these guns, god knows we all want one!

My design uses an air operated valve rated for 6kpsi. One of the problems with it is that is doesn’t open…Read more

I need to get out more.

I’m still using my AF 4-16X50.

How does it compare to the nicer ones?

Send me some precise measurements, I’ll print you an outside bushing to hold everything snug.

Just wait for it.

😉

My CNC Mill is getting delivered on monday (4 axis!!!). If I can manage to get that sucker up to my second floor walk-up, then you’d best be holding on to your hats, ladies.

😆

M1913’s came in, mounted one to the frame and raised it for good cheek/eye/scope alignment.

Didn’t have a scope on me so I mounted a flashlight onto the rail.

3-way fire select switch is in, 30 degrees per click.

Having 24″ of barrel nestled in such a solid feeling package just feels right, man.

The only thing I can think of to explain this is that your bushings are loose,giving you some play + letting air into your frame and changing your setup depending on how the pressure in the frame behaves.

Here’s a few tests that would help narrow it down:

If you remove the foregrip entirely, does it shoot the…Read more

Got the tank in, built out the placeholder tank braces and the e-trigger setup.

Just a one stage for now, but I’ve got a few ideas for a really nice pull,pull, click,follow-though feel.

M1913 rails are coming in tomorrow hopefully.

That center piece took 9 hours to print, but I think she’s a beauty.

Couldn’t find any on pyramid.

I need to put together some funds to get my hands on a lathe + mill in order to fabricate the trunion, breech, bolt and other tidbits…Read more

Sanguish: Up! 3d. I went with it because it seems that with the others in the price range you spend more time getting the thing to print correctly than actually printing.

Its pretty nifty, I printed a 7/8-14tpi male part and it screwed perfectly into the stock collar. The ABS is a lot…Read more
