The first 2 guns we build are going to be 'Millennium Master Hunter' sets with all 3 caliber barrel/bolt/magazine/transfer ports...they will be offered for sale as soon as we gather data and take some pictures.They may have our Supreme 1.5" OD x 6" long LDC that has an interchangeable monocore to match the appropriate caliber.Obviously these sets aren't going to be inexpensive but we will be numbering our guns with sequential serial numbers...you just never know! *Grin*Your hard earned dollars would be much appreciated by purchasing a gun if you are able to.

I'd buy a 5 shot; 35fpe MSP in a heartbeat.I would too if I was 18 and had some money.What are you saying?

The Challenger RVA will be bored out to accept a 2" long x .360" OD hammer spring. We will have a threaded plug so you can swap springs by removing the plug/tension adjuster.I believe this makes the most sense for an 'on the fly' caliber change.

Where you thinking that I meant you were a rich kid who could get anything you want? Cause that is not what I meant.

There is no 12 fpe Disco. But I believe a Challenger transfer port can be modded to make a 12 fpe Disco
Energy 10.4ftlbs with FX (JSB) pellets
PLEASE NOTE THIS RIFLE IS APPROX 10 FT/LBS MAX POWER
If your really set and serious about a .177 I can build you one using a choked Lothar Walther barrel and tune it to 12 ft lbs.

I had just gotten done with my work day (16 hours) and I was going to tear your head off!It's nice being young. Enjoy it!
I can always fit a different caliber barrel to the breech down the road - it *will* require folks to send me their breech for fitting to avoid any clocking issues with the transfer port lining up when the barrel is threaded in.Each barrel is threaded into the breech THEN we are milling the transfer port into the barrel to ensure perfect alignment.Lots of options with this platform...I want it to be the most versatile air rifle available!
