If I got some aluminum tubing (good enough grade for the pressure), modified the metal housing that holds the pump tube, valve body, and pivot point for the pump arm, made a longer pump arm, extended the metal housing to allow a longer stroke, made a longer pump tube, and all related changes.
Could I possibly get 12FPE in under 6 pumps with the Daisy 22x?
I have been playing with the idea for some time, though I just can not get myself to spend the money on the materials to find out.
I figured that I would share so that one of you that has the ambition and money could give it a try if you wanted to.

Funny, I was thinking the same type of thing today. Similar thoughts anyways. Probably above my pay grade. But if I dwell on it long enough I may figure it out. Money..... in short supply until winter is over.

Well it should not be to difficult to do. If you do it please share.

Well of course.
Linkage and such I am fine with. Not sure about the pump tube with a shop full of woodworking tools and a regular mechanics shop in another building. But if I dwell on it long enough I will figure it out I'm sure

Maybe time to save up for a metal working lathe, and mill?
These two tools will save you so much money that they are well worth having. They do require a bit of training to put to good use, and my teacher happened to be a gunsmith. Though as long as you take all safety precautions I guess it would be possible to self teach.

Yes I should. I have not use either in 30 years but have friends who have at one time made their living in machine shops. So if I can't figure it out, they could give me a hand. But I am pretty good at figuring my way through things.
