Once the weather warms I will dial it in. [/img]   Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 6:44 am Remtom1200 Member Joined: 02 Jan 2012 Posts: 53 [img] [/img] Lots of air in those 4130 tubes. I have not measured volume but its like hand pumping a paintball tank..lol   Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 6:50 am Remtom1200 Member Joined: 02 Jan 2012 Posts: 53 Forestock makingmaking   Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 8:16 pm Mentolio Veteran Member Joined: 02 Jun 2013 Posts: 207 Location: Sadly, New Jersey Wow, nice work! What's the weight like?   Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 8:23 pm Remtom1200 Member Joined: 02 Jan 2012 Posts: 53 Like lead. It is front heavy and rock steady for being this way. I would suggest or redo with aluminum tubes I think.   Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 10:06 pm Remtom1200 Member Joined: 02 Jan 2012 Posts: 53 The more I think about it the barrel is the heaviest. Once I find a proper barrel the weight will be down big time.   Posted: Sat Jan 24, 2015 7:25 pm Remtom1200 Member Joined: 02 Jan 2012 Posts: 53 Did some shots across the chrony. Impressive but not what I wanted this build for. CPHP 14.3g on low power 770, and on high power 980 fps. Jb monsters 25.4g low 550, high power 740fps. This portable air pig was built with 499fps in mind and shoot many times from a fill. High power I see is not needed so weaker spring or larger caliber barrel.   Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2015 7:30 pm Remtom1200 Member Joined: 02 Jan 2012 Posts: 53 A little bluing done. Next a couple of custom sling studs.   Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2015 7:55 pm Robw Veteran Member Joined: 30 Jan 2013 Posts: 441 It looks strange how the barrel deviates from the airtube. _________________ Getting in a rush only slows you down.

I angled the inlet slightly to avoid contact. You may notice the barrel is tapered as well.   Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2015 9:41 am Big Ern Veteran Member Joined: 31 Aug 2011 Posts: 357 Location: Miami Fl. That gun is insane!!!   Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2015 2:51 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND I like the concept but can’t get my head round the impression of the tubes being fanned out, I realise that the barrel is tapered but could you not encase it in a off set carbon shroud, create the impression of everything pointing the same way. This is not criticism it is a fine piece of work is just the aesthetics that spoil it I think.

I put the barrel in the vise and bent it to match   Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2015 9:03 pm Remtom1200 Member Joined: 02 Jan 2012 Posts: 53 Lol did the 1/8 " riser and added some carbon fiber. In the process of ordering a crosman stock from Eric ATM.   Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2015 6:54 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Cheers Tom I shall sleep better now, it's funny how a few degrees makes a big difference. I look forward to seeing it in the new stock.
