A shooting window doesn't need to be very big. I would think a small bathroom window would be the largest one would need. Mine is a full size house window but I may make an insert that I can put in it when it's open to make the opening smaller. A piece of 2" insulation foam board with a 1'x1' hole would work nicely.
I was thinking along the lines of a trap door type opening with a hinge so it would swing down and rest on braces to make a shooting platform.

They usually build up before the holiday season.
Ed, like this one?
have you seen what TSC offers online, airgun speaking??? (hint: you can buy RWS through them too). And once on a while they have stuff on sale, like the legacy 1000 for about 50$...

Now i may revisit that project, as i did realize that the 760 barrel i used (that came from an older 760, one with a screwed on rear sight) had the holes from the sights go completely through the bore!, yup, if the rear sight is removed, there are holes that go all the way down the bore. So maybe the hole at the bore side was causing some sort of effect on the accuracy of the gun. I'm going to order a new 760 barrel, cut it down, clean the "crown" and drill a new transfer port and try again. i think this time i will also install a power adjuster on that gun, and drop the power to see if groups improve.i thought about doing it with a qb also but cant find anyone would could wear the rifling down to a mirror finish. I am afraid that the bore then will be to wide for the BBs available. but then that means that i can drill it out bigger... like .25 cal or bigger and the just shoot ball bearings... (devious smile...). Oh wait, thay invented that already... like in the 1600s...lolThat's just awesome and hopefully all goes well. I can say a standard Daisy BB will roll down most .177cal barrel lands. Maybe filling the grooves in completely would give smooth bore like performance? Not sure how to do that (maybe a hard wax or lead?), but fully polishing out the grooves would most likely be too loose for BB's like you said. Funny thing about drilling a bore to larger size (or re-barreling) A few years back I found 6mm bearings sold in bulk, sold as slingshot ammo... Bet everyone can put 2 an 2 together, but I never got them moving fast enough for decent trajectory on CO2 and the short barrel I was testing... Probably best as standard BB's are risky enough.Today I had a thought for the Chief, to try and just magnetize the entire qb bolt, not sure it would work, but would be one less part to figure out. Also was thinking to make an adapter of brass that fits into the qb receiver that would act as the loading shelf, drilled for the transfer port passage and machined to accept commonly available smooth bore barrels/shot tubes that are just pressed and pinned in place. From there just make a gromet that fits the barrel O.D. and barrel band I.D., not sure if I'll run with it but have ideas brewing.

We just left Tractor Supply and they have really increased their stock of airguns and supplies. They had quite a few co2 bb rifles and pistols and 500 count tins of Daisy 22 HPs for 7.99
Wow, a QBB! Cool concept and follow through!
I've been kicking around the idea of using a carbon fiber shot tube in a build.
