Do we need a bb gate?

[ER00z]

He has an eBay store but it says no items available right now.

Yeah, just seen that 

Doing some searching, I did manage to find some 6mm x 4mm tubing of various materials, mainly carbon fiber and steel. If some could be had with looser tolerances, just might work with some BB's... The question becomes how many samples does one need to go through to find just the right fit? The carbon tubes I found at 1000mm length (~39") sure seemed tempting for a "hot rod" build, but would hate to size them up/polish if needed. 

Edited in:
I honestly don't know why I'm hardwired to make things faster or more powerful. Even with that qb bb contraption, there's a little voice in my head nagging me to pull the valve exhaust restrictor out and slapping on the longest tightest smooth bore barrel that could be had... If it weren't for memories of shenanigans in the woods with high speed bb's ricocheting off multiple trees years ago, half excited and half terrified I probably would have never put in a restrictor in the first place... Experience says keep steel bb's under 600fps, preferably 400 or less, but that voice of inner immaturity says "lets crack the sound barrier"

You've got me thinking about a 1322 bb shooter build now. 

[ER00z]

That would be a fun build. If not mistaken, at one point early on I think the 1377 had a magnet on the probe to shoot bb's. Think it was a rear-cocking model, similar to the Medalist 1322. Wasn't much into airguns then, so I could be wrong.

I had a couple of the rear cocking models over the years but I never tried BBs in them so I'm not sure. After I moved up from Red Ryders, I thought I was too cool for BBs until I was an adult.

I hear you

The fact that they're dirt cheap to shoot and I suppose the "green"/environmentally friendly stuff is a plus too. I've just had plain old good fun shooting BB's lately.

I'd like to see some other bb models and innovations also. A target pistol, either SSP or multi pump (like you've said) would be nice, something to go along side the 499, just not as pricey. Of course a pcp multi shot rifle and a few more crazy ideas that I'll hold off on mentioning for the time being. Hope some manufacturers catch wind of these ideas and run with them. Aside from that electric bb gun, not much new has popped on the scene. There's replicas too, but running on co2 isn't great in the cold... 

Really thinking we need a bb gate!!!

[EdinGa]

The electronic Barra looks good to me, but it's way above what I'm willing to spend. Maybe others will follow the trend.

[EdinGa]

Any news on the possibility of a BB gate? Still hoping it happens...

[avator]

Haven't heard anything back about it.

Thanks for the update, Bill!

Ever think pellet shooters look at bb shooters as pb shooters look at pellet shooters? Then everyone looks at ML shooters like their the coocoo's, Lol

I gave up on being the cool kid a long time ago, so I shoot what I like don't listen to the haters.

[avator]

I don't shoot bb or pellet guns to please or impress anyone but me.
Haters gonna hate.

Betty Lou and I sat in lawn chairs yesterday and shot 10 meters at small party balloons attached to a large tree trunk and army men on a make shift ledge. She used her Red Ryder and I used my Model 25 Anniversary edition.
I had also put some shoot n see targets and hung cans at 10 meters.
I was amazed at the accuracy we were getting with the Daisy Precision Max bbs.
We had just as much fun as we have had with any other airguns we own.

[EdinGa]

I love Precision Max. That's about all I shoot around here. You're a lucky man to have a wife that shoots with you. Mine will occasionally but I keep working on getting her more involved.

Thanks Ed. We finished you with the bb guns and then shot the matching 362s converted to .177. I set the lights out and we shot well past dark. They had a wedding at the airport runway venue that our property backs up to and we enjoyed free live music all evening.

That's cool. Glad ya'll had a great evening.

[EdinGa]

Here's the build I'm working on. It's not finished yet but it's shootable and accuracy seems better. I'll post more details when the last component arrives.

 Ok guys answer this if i was to put up a bb gun gate, i want you to know I will not put a bunch of child gates under it for different brands of bb guns, It would be a all in one gate for bb guns  whatcha think  how many would be interested??   David

 Something going on in my old age i find myself shooting break barrels way more than pcps, just easy nothing but a tin of pellets and have at it, i also shot my sons adult red ryder, didnt care much for it but did shoot a old daisey 25 i must have wore out a dozen them in my younger days. would shoot through one side of a can but remember back then a can was steel not like these now.
