Thanks for the reply!

When I was researching this project, I found that you can get basically every part. Including an extrusion for the frame. A lot of ‘knock offs’ out there as well.

The most expensive part is the barrel, if buying new.

I think someone could throw one of these together with minimal tooling and time.

When I started building guns, I had little more than a hacksaw, file, grinder and drill. Now that I’m 50, I appreciate the machine tools I’ve acquired over the years.

Airguns have opened up a new door for me.

JuryRigger:
Cool 8)! I do agree, if you look at it from a purely mechanical standpoint; the Airforce guns are (arguably, there are always different ways to look at it) the conceptually simplest design there is.
More good work, and thanks for sharing.

I had a little time to mess with this today. After the honey do’s...

Got the top rail machined and turned the breech slider down to shed some weight. (The slider is missing in the pic).

I may take the valve apart and make a peek poppet for it. I’m pretty sure the one that came with it is delrin. And tapered.

sb327:
I trimmed the top rail back a touch and blocked out a grip and foregrip. It’s some walnut I had left from another project. I still have shaping to do on it. The finish is ‘fake for the picture, just wet it with water to see how it’ll look dark.’  I’ll have to make a wood buttplate too.

I kept the stock valve but changed the angle of the seat.

Anyway, just an update.

Dave

Btw, this thing is FUN to shoot.
