Philippine bench rest gun

[Rick67]

I will get in touch with you again today. Need to get the maker's cellphone number first from a bud of mine in the Philippines.

Btw, if you would ask the maker of your ag he would know what a DBB is but better that you contact Mang Bebot (if I remember his name correctly) himself.

Have a good one!

639264993166 Mang Bebot's cellphone number. He lives in Tagum City but ships his barrels thru JRS Couriers anywhere in the Philippines, Mr. Ken.

His barrels are best mated with JSBs or Air Arms, btw.

Ken, I have. Got airgun friends all over the Philippines because I sold parts imported from the US when I was still there. I was one of the go to guys there. When it came to optics, Bushnell Elites and Leapers were one my top sellers. Mounts were mostly BKLs and then there were flashlights, lol! These stuff are pretty expensive in the Philippines, usually going more than 2x the price.

Those DBB barrels will give Lothars a serious run for the money, I am serious. They can be had for around $35-40, iiric, and in lengths and diameters of your choice. Also, pellets are zippier when launched through these barrels compared to those from Lothars. One of my buds, using the same platform, chronoed both barrels of the same length, and the DBB catapulted projectiles faster. Well, brass has less drag, I suppose.

Bentong thanks for the link the first and second pictures along with the pistol is the exact action cocking I have 😳 waiting on the stock and now a brass barrel😎

Richard do you know Joe Tugan he is well known in Cebu city for airgun to firearms he is in his 70’s.  him and his son were a father and son team teaching his craft until his son passed away from a heart attack in 2016 he was in his 40’s😕. Joe finished my bullpup 10-17. Placed an order with him in April 2017. He wanted to make a ataman copy of their bullpup and I agreed. Told him that I will be back to the Philippines 11-17. I was totally impressed with his craftsmanship😳 Joe was backed up with orders of my bullpup that he made for me. On 1-1-18 Joe suffered a mild stroke. I was having him making me a stock for a fx monsoon but he has loss weight and is still trying to recover. I think he was taking on to much orders and trying to meet the demands. To much of a work load😓. So basically this bullpup is one of one and probably the last airgun he made as the doctor told him to take it easy😢 here is a pic of his work

Hatsan at 44 long cylinder with huma reg Lothar Walther barrel 22 cal. 50 shots avg FPS 819 es 29 sd 6 shooting jsb 18.13gr. The range is 42 yards and can put 10 shots rested covered the hole with a 5 centavo which is less than a dime😎😳

[kzz1kaw]

Bentong bought a used compact kricket 22 that on the action inscribed Ernest Rowe tuned 12-14😳. Very accurate 😎

[kzz1kaw]

Took some more pictures of my br gun at the range.

@ kzz1kaw
you shooting this saturday br match?

[kzz1kaw]

Here are some groups I shot today at the range😎 these are the groups at 25 meters. Not knowing what pellets the gun likes I had to shoot a few times with each pellets I had on hand. Using a hand held paintball chrony it is amazing by just turning the hst has an influence on pellet accuracy. When I shot the gun for the first time with h&n barracuda match 10.65 it was shooting over thousand fps😳 has to back off the hst down to around 750 FPS then the accuracy started coming around these are my five shot groups with three different pellets. I’m waiting to try out the jsb 13.43 at a slower speed to see what the gun likes fast slow who knows. It’s looking like the jsb 10.34 aa10.3 h&n barracuda March 10.65. I would say that the gun is a shooter😎 I’ve got $600 into this gun and she is a keeper😉

Eumel we are day ahead or 13 hours Sunday afternoon here. Just came from the range to get the gun dialed in😎

Ken, I have heard of Joe Tugaon. It seems you are having a good time in Cebu, sir

In Davao City, the go to ag guy is Mang Pepe. He is in his 70s now and I don't know if he is doing his craft still. He used to build all brass c02 airguns w/c were venerated back in the 80s(?). Seen his heirloom piece more than once - so beautiful and has an old world appeal to it! I don't think he is going to sell that one though, lol!

And then there is Boss Tatay Cris Reyes of CPR. That gent is a great shooter and machinist of anything projectile-launching implement. Those airguns he built for himself are truly works of art. I don't believe there is anyone in the Philippines who could surpass the details of his builds. Exemplary machining and finish are so evident in his works that looking at them would make you experience orgasm, lol!I have seen only one ag built outside of the ones he has for personal use though. Check him out, Ken, but I think you do know him. He is very close to the Philippine president, btw.
