Title: REX Mini-Carbine project
Post by: Nomadic Pirate on July 04, 2020, 04:11:08 PM
My REX Mini-Carbine started life as a REX pistol,

I then changed the barrel from a 10.5" to a 14.5"
fabricated the front end out of PVC
used a left over piece of airtube from my Storm .30 Mini-Carbine projet to make it as is now.

Luckily I had and extra air tube and luckily Matt ( luge007 ) a member here agreed to cut and re-thread the tube,....by the way very, very nice, clean work.

So now with the longer tube, still will retain a short Mini-Carbine but will improve the comfort with the slightly longer LOP and hopefully give me one extra shot  ;D ;D ;D

Very nice!!  Luge007 cut and re-thread a tube for me as well!  Agreed- very good work!  What scope are you running?  That looks like it would be about perfect on my 14 fpe .25 carbine!

Danke!  What kind of performance are you getting from this pistol?  I've been very curious about these guns for a while now.

Evanix had a carbine and I waited and waited for it to make it to the US. Nobody ever stocked it so I just bought a Leshiy. It was on their website years ago.

Evanix had many, many models that Pyramyd never imported
