It has a second tube under the first and doubles the air capacity with the addition of 1 lb. of weight.... That means the gun, without scope, is about 6.2 lbs.... Here is Lloyd's website, looks like he is set for a Spring 2012 launch.... http://www.airgunlab.com/ The conversion looks pretty simple, the only difficult bit would be routing out a deeper channel in the stock.... but I think he plans to offer that service.... Lloyd is looking for "Beta Testers" for the initial batch, with kits to be supplied at cost.... so if you are itching for a new project, you can sign up on the website.... I have!....

The gun has two air tubes.... Bob _________________ Dominion Marksman Silver Shield - 5890 x 6000 in 1976, and downhill ever since!

Joe once build a pistol like that. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2012 3:21 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York Seems great, but I don't really like the look.   Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2012 4:25 pm SMP Silver Status Member Joined: 04 Feb 2011 Posts: 1183 Location: Just south of "Out There"- Land O Lakes Ontario I think it looks pretty sweet, especially in the AR stock. It has a pleasing bulk to it. _________________ Sean   Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2012 5:26 pm mod90 Veteran Member Joined: 04 Jun 2011 Posts: 279 SMP wrote: I think it looks pretty sweet, especially in the AR stock. It has a pleasing bulk to it. Maybe pleasing to the eyes, but not to the arms for lugging all that extra size & weight around all day if the gun is used for hunting. But there will definitely be a market for it. I'd hate to have to charge that with a hand pump _________________ There is no tradition greater than the hunt, passed through countless generations.

Pumping the 250cc reservoir to 2000 psi would be a lot easier than pumping a 215 cc MRod to 3000 psi....

The number of pumps would increase in proportion according to the efficiency of the pump in relation to the cc of the original reservoir. _________________ There is no tradition greater than the hunt, passed through countless generations.

The number of pumps per shot, however, would remain the same.... and I'd sooner pump to 2000 psi than 3000....
