A few crosman parts will be used..barrel / pistol grip and a B & A valve.. will be a simlar design to the 22XX guns but the breech valve & hammer will be housed in a one peice alloy block.. There will be a 53ci / 860cc tank screwed in to the front of the block...won't look pretty...but will be able to whack rabbits for hours..and nothing ealse matter but the body count on a tank.. got held up trying to get a used 22XX for the bits...

That breech is one part? How does the air flow? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 2:45 am kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand broommaster2000 wrote: Looks pretty interesting. That breech is one part? How does the air flow? The hole below the barrel will house the valve & hammer there will be a port going up between the breech section & valve "crosman style just a lot longer" The spaceing is so big as a 53ci tank is 80mm in dia.. The bolt handle folds down into the 16mm slot below the breech section when closed.. There will be a shoulder in the hole for the valve to seat against with a stainless unit that screws in to lock the valve in place against the shoulder with the tank screwed into the other end of it...   Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 3:05 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND It’s looking nice Pete even though it’s just a lump of machined ally, can’t wait to see the finished result. There appears to be a lip on one side of the loading slot, is this to make pellet loading easier?

I think it would look mean. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 3:38 am kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand Alstone wrote: It’s looking nice Pete even though it’s just a lump of machined ally, can’t wait to see the finished result.

That is the first thing I have machined in the mill I made...Had a few issues...All the bits I made worked perfectly BUT that dam chinese cross slide table..spent the last 2 days re doing the screw shafts...They kept coming lose in there mounts letting the table travel back and forward about 1.5mm..& if yer tightened them up yer couldn't turn the handles...They now turn on 10mm berrings so yer can tighten them up....TIGHT... broom...Maybe a tippman stock..but not really thought that far up the track so far...   Posted: Wed May 05, 2010 3:59 am packrat Senior Member Joined: 16 Nov 2009 Posts: 882 Location: Out in the woods...Ellabell, GA.

Kind of reminds me of a gun Beeman carried a few years back. I think it was called a "gamekeeper" or something like that (without going and looking it up). They were made by someone in England and sold in the US by Beeman. I really wish I'd bought one. Similar billet action with a detachable barrel (I think they sold barrels in various calibers) and a tank under the barrel. By taking the barrel and tank off you could pack it in a small case. Slick gun, great verminator. Looking forward to seeing your project unfold.   Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 3:50 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND jlwilliams wrote: Looks great so far.

I think this is the gun you refer to the "Colchester Gamekeeper".
