My first PCP rifle design and build

[fusion]

Hello, this is the rifle I will be building over the coming weeks.  The design is complete I think.  It will have a 22 cubic inch bottle, and interchangeable barrels so I can have it in .177 and .22.  I purchased the barrels from Archer I think is the name.  The were blemished seconds from the Chinese Beeman dual caliber break-barrel rifles sold at Walmart. I heard good reports on accuracy, so I took a chance. The first picture is a rendering of what it will look like. The other pictures are of the trigger group and valve body.  The last picture is of the forend.  It's kinda bulky, but it has to be, to cover the bottle.

Nice work.

Is the handguard plastic? What software where you using to model it?

[Bent]

Looks real nice. I will look forward to seing more..
Is the gun regulated? Paintballregulator?

Hello!  Thanks for kind words.  The forend is plastic.  I had it printed on a 3D printer.  I wanted it to be regulated, but there wasn't enough room for the air on the regulated side.  So, for now, it will be unregulated.

I use Pro/Engineer for my modeling and CNC work.

How about a regulator that fits inside the bottle? Like the custom regulators made for the Airforce talons and condors.

Fusion,
Very, very, nice.  An ambitious undertaking and what you have done so far looks top notch.  Side lever, too.  I like that.  The heavy blue piece at the 45 degree angle is attached to the bolt assy and moves the hammer.  Is that correct? Does that blue piece and the bolt that seals the bore and the part that is actually moved by the side lever all move as a single solid unit or is there any sliding between those 3 components?  Are all the parts custom, or are you using a few parts from other guns?
Sorry for all the questions, but please take it as a compliment.

Thank you Lloyd! Yes you are correct the bolt does move the striker back with the blue piece. So yes the striker slides up to the blue part when the gun is fired.  The barrel I bought from ^&$@_=s.  They had Chinese Beeman barrels for around $25 so I got a .22 and a .177. I also bought Marauder magazines from amazon in .22 and .177.
My day job has been running me ragged, so I haven't got much done on it lately, but I hope to this weekend.

Mike,
Thanks for the answers. Too bad about having your day job get in the way of airgun priorities, but that is life, LOL.
It's a big project and will take a lot of time, but enjoying the process is a very big part of it.... at least to me.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
