Custom made co2 project... ;-)

[supersniper]

For a start sorry to any one who would have liked to see step by step photos of how i have got on so far......I am at the stage now where all I need is to make a bolt handle and pellet probe.....possilbly a magazine if i decide too.. and the wood work of coarse

This rifle is called Protocarbine because its a very short proto-type of what i'm hopefully going to make in full stainless after this project the only difference is the stainless one will be pcp an not co2......

here's some pictures of it so far...

Looks more like a pistol atm

[supersniper]

It could well end up as one, depends what power i can muster ....it only takes one capsule not testing it untill its all finished.... could just buy a longer barrel and turn a cyclinder to take 2 capsules and screw that on.....lol

Why dont you use 88g co2?

[KADA82]

nice going mate im about to make some mad karbine or pistol soon with all my left over parts from my rattys and 78,s just need a valve sorting. well done

[supersniper]

KNIGHT...may even go pcp with this one when its all done.......one of the reasons i decided to do this is because i always wanted to make my own air rifle/(pistol.....titch.. the other is like the modding i've seen done to ratty's and QB'S AND THERE variants but atm cannot afford to buy one or do the modding.... this way i cn make the gun an mod it all i want witn no expense whatsoever up to yet the gun has cost half a dozen "o" rings..

If anyine is interested in seeing this gun run a 88g co2 and has an empty 1 that they could post to me so i have somthing to work from i would be more than will to make an adapter to fit it......

Got round to doing abit more of the co2 gun recently,
(NEW) valve pin made....(not tested) MK1 pin "o" ring blew off
Bolt probe + spring assembly
Stock inlet and roughed out

I think the breech is a tad tight even for my twiglet fingers so might have to make a Mag for it
The gun still needs :-
bolt handle
action end plug
stock smoothing,finishing,butt fitting
metal polished + finished
spring trials in valve and hammer to set power

Here's a few pics of progress

The wood 100+ yrs old pitch pine
valve pin in lathe
stock roughed out and inlet
