It's interesting to see this much effort being put into these relatively crude airguns.
It reminds me of the cheap Pakistani knives, because they use so much more primitive hand labor it takes more effort to make a low end gun that a modern factory in China can pump out for much less money.

Almost an end to end custom hand made airgun  at labor cost less than what pyramydair would charge you for 10 test shots  ($10 )
Daily wages on high end for these workers are 500pkr (1.8$)
