So before you talk down to us, do some friggin research.

How ever fairlyinconspicouses is, sorry to your time.

Sure wish people, just forget it.

Where would one get such a beast?

You get something like that, by thinking it out, working out the issues and making it yourself.

It appears that we need a new forum, one that is titled “make it yourself/new ideas”, not mods that you buy from someone and bolt on or a person that threads (machinist)…Read more

Just wait for it.

😉

What ever that means?

I do not want to wait on anyone, I want to make it myself.

Personally the Talon loads so fast and easy there is little down time between loading pellets if you have the pellets mounted on the gun for easy fast access.

If anyone sold anything like I want to make, that might be an option.

Had I not posted this in the…Read more

I should have said, any constructive and or creative comments.

Please point out anyone that has done this, if it is “well trodden”.

Looks like you are shooting slugs cAst for firearms? Have you tried anything that was cast with almost pure lead? I cast my .308…Read more

Couldn’t find any on pyramid.

Here are some I use.

Wow, not been here for sometime and what do I read, I want one.

When you get a ME of 400 FPE with a .308, not burning powder, I want to be first in line. I’ll pay the price just to see how you accomplished that feat.

Nice.

Are those straight out of the mold or are you resizing to 308-309?

Did you mod for HP or have that done?

Thanks

Now I know there are three yellow forums, go figure. 😀

I have a home built .308.

Were you able to find bearing’s that were drop in or did you have to enlarge holes etc?

Can the pressure cut off switch be changed easily from say 3000psi when filling a gun to 4350psi if I wanted to fill my tank afterwards or is it something that is better set and left alone?

No quick fix all needle and ball bearings to…Read more

I hate my Shoebox, it is costing me a mint for pellets and I’m loving every minute. 😛

I’ve been modifying since the day I got it, can’t leave anything stock.

I am using 140 grain pure lead, the best I could get with that weight is 880 FPS.

I think I can get more, playing with spring values and valve timing.

It did get me to thinking, if there was enough interest, I might make a few copies and put them up for sale.

I have not kept track of what it cost me to make the first, but I’m going to guess that it would turn out to be at least $1,000.00…Read more

Thanks, I prefer no gas check.

Thanks

Photos please.

BTW, I am ordering the pressure cutoff you put on your Shoebox tomorrow.

I was using 140 grain pure lead for most of the testing, the best I could get with that weight is 880 FPS. I have ordered some lighter hollow point pure lead, can not wait to see how those work…Read more

I know I have been slow to show what I was working on, other projects, etc. Really the main reason for being slow was air. I did not own a compressor and this thing eats air, so every change I made I needed to go…Read more

type 3427K84 into the search box.

That is the switch I have. I have set it to 4,400 PSI and it stops at that pressure (+/- 25 PSI) every time.

I use a desiccant filter and water trap on the input of my…Read more

I had some of the parts on the self, left from past projects, so I do not have an accurate cost.

My best guess $150.00 and the Shoebox cost about $400.00. So $550.00 total, I compare that to the next alternative, a Scuba compressor might cost second hand, $3,000.00. That…Read more

Not true IMHO, Helium is a gas, with molecules that are much smaller than the molecules that make up our atmosphere.

A pump designed to compress Helium must have much small cylinder to piston clearances than the Shoebox compressor has.…Read more

Let me start by saying, what I have done to my Shoebox are things I wanted to change, not things that needed to be changed. My Shoebox worked great out of the box. I just can not leave anything stock, just me.

1. I installed an electrical pressure switch to control the shut off…Read more

Been modifying that Shoebox ever since. 😀

You’ll love it, make sure you have some Lithium synthetic grease on hand, they run on grease.

Do not use anything that has petroleum in it, makes the seals swell.

Needed a new valve, body tube and then the CO2 cylinder.

The CO2 cylinder has a burst plug and CO2 bleed valve, makes filling a snap. I weight the cylinder empty and then after filling so I know it is not over…Read more

New grips, trigger spring adjuster, .177 longer barrel, air stripper, custom breech, 10 shot magazine, custom bulk conversion, etc.

You can do as little and or never finish modifying. I’m working on removable CO2 cylinders now, 75+ shots per fill. I’ll post photos when the paint dries.

The 22XX series is a blast, IMHO.

Turn the shape you want, pour RTV Silicone mold making rubber around it and you have a mold.

Here is a link to some material that works for casting…Read more

I took a more straight forward approach and used a auto index magazine made by Benjamin Marauder .177

2. Here do you put air into that thing.

That was actually what helped me decide to buy a PCP. My station has a 5000 PSI bauer that’s the size of a VW bus.

Since this whole thing is in general chat, who cares?

Time for a nap.

Looking at your pics, I think you have left the top two bunk beds a little close to th roof, when you put matresses and bedding and such its going to be a tight squeeze..

I was wondering, what is an IQ?

Do we fill our tanks with it, do we need it to breath, do we eat it, does it weigh as much as lead, what caliber is it??????

I was GOD in my past life, now I’m retired. 😀

I was an engineer (auto related), no I never learned to drive a train!!!!!!!!

As you already know (true craftsmen always know the error that no others ever can see) , great bit of work.

The thing that really scares me is, what are you going to turn out as a encore. 😀

Love your work.

There are many definitions of idiotic. One if you are insane you have an excuse. Two if you are just stupid, have have no excuse.

lang, IMHO, falls in the #2 grouping. No pun intended. : 8)

OK I admit to being stupid but not an idiot. 😀

Once lama gets laid, he will another take on things like that. 🙂

Let us hold a lama get laid contest.

Glad you liked it! Sounds like you are set up and ready to run it through its paces!

Looks like a tag telling someone what they paid more than they should have for a piece of aluminum tube.

Where does it say that?

Oops, forgot to put a smiley face with my post. My comments were made in jest.

That’s what I get for staying up to late on a Friday night. 😳

Looks like a tag telling someone what they paid more than they should have for a piece of aluminum tube.

I’m jealous the tubing I purchase does not come with any tag.

I am gonna be the one laughing when I make a valve that can do this, you just watch!

I’ll be in line to buy an airgun, in .22 (50 grain projectile) that will place 5 rounds into a 3″ dia. circle at 300 yards, with a muzzle velocity of 1,400 FPS.
