P-Rifle on the way

[2K1TJ]

Is the carbine regulated?

[smythsg]

Yes, it is regulated.

Wondering if someone who purchased the wooden P-RIFLE that can 3D print can come up with a 1 inch spacer to fit between rear stock and rubber butt plate ? It would make LOP  almost perfect.

 I had a flashlight turned LDC, it used the OE thread protector to attach to the gun,. I was able to swap out the end cap and it works even better on the P-Rifle than anything else I have tried it on. 
 I did put a slip on butpad it was the right fit for me but looked ugly IMO so took it right back off.

James That is awesome 

Quite creative,
been surmising a way other then hanging extra Sumo weight on the end of the barrel
then having to stabilize it incorporating a barrel band
Bridging my Fortitude helped increase long range accuracy

Little more info on that LCD flashlight Mod

  I had thought of joining in on the P-Rifle Party  but... Pinty does not ship to my address. Seems to be a good deal and a good price and good performance. Though there are other companies that do not offer shipping options to AK. I'll have to wait a bit before looking for another PCP, I do have a few in mind for later., i would first need to make some room before adding More Airguns to what I have.
 I may have missed it but has anyone found out the shot count, Ive read the specifications...

It's around 3 magazines, or 30 shots, on the regulator. Another 10-15 before numbers start pitching, from what I have seen from others. I haven't put mine through the chrony yet, just wanted to shoot it some.

 Nukall,

It's unfortunate some Co. have limitations on their S/H footprint
Hopefully you can find someone in lower states that can assist you, and join the fun

as far as the shot count, since this one is regulated, you can adjust the Reg, hammer spring to your liking
"guessing" max might get 15 -20 min probably 40 - 60

maybe someone having this info can follow-up

Good Luck on your Quest
Bill

 Mithli,
 billygee,

 Thankyou for the information, yes I surely would like to join in, but for now reading the Pinty Posts is enough to add some fun to my thought process. Excellent Work on the P-Airguns, GTA Thankyou

Found the barrel to not be too sturdy.  I could push that barrel and change poi.  The shroud adds some tension, but I could push that around too.

Maybe this will help.

[splitbeing]

With the hammer spring setting in a sweet spot, I was getting 44 shots with 17 fps ES using ftt 14.66 going around 900 fps.

I had another setup running 40+ shots, I think it was 873 fps.  I may have posted that in the tactical thread by accident.

Out of the box, folks are getting just under 30 good shots.

Rion, the Snowpeak M16 that the rifle is loosely based on had a barrel band from the factory. Did you make that one or purchase it somewhere?

[splitbeing]

That the similar model came with a barrel band makes a lot of sense to me.  I accidentally bumped the barrel and the poi went wayyyyy off.  That's what got me trying it out, looking more closely, and a trying a few fixes. 

The barrel band I made.  I shot a few shots, dialed in the scope, pushed the barrel up, down, left, right and then again.  Still on target at 50 ft.  But that was just a few shots.  More testing in days to come. 

How fixed is your barrel? Does it move when you push it around?

[smythsg]

Unfortunately I no longer own an M16 (I tend to buy and sell some air rifles, enjoy trying new things) but I lugged that .25 cal version around the woods for over 5 years and never had any issue with POI change.

I added barrel bands to other rifles that did not come with one, including my AEA Challenger .30 cal. I just feel better about bouncing around the woods with the barrel supported.

Hey Rion

Spotted this barrel issue is as soon as I removed the shroud

Barrel movement no matter how tight it may be, is very noticeable with the shroud removed.

So dating back to my fortitude days which had a barrel band, it still needed an install of some bridging to correct this drift.

unfortunately I'm somewhat in a stand still posting pic's  (kindle fire,  camera pics or prt scr shots    )

 I'm sure there are folks with 3D Printers out there that can come up with a barrel band, with or without Picatinny rails to help stabilize the barrel- airtube on the P-Rifle and P-Pup.
 Great work splitbeing

The M16 barrel band worked with the shroud attached so stability was pretty solid. This one is on the ebay site in the UK:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/115776771163

[splitbeing]

Nice.  Still leaves you needing an adapter for the moderator threads, but solves the stability problem.  15$ ain't bad for a barrel band.

Dang shroud does next to nothing to dampen the sound and provides some stability to the barrel but not enough.  Lose the shroud, get the good moderator threads, and put on a band is hoepfully gonna prove out.  If not, I'll likely end up with the aftermarket adapter and shroud band unless I think of something else.

What sort of bridging work did you doon the fortitude, Bill?  I have one too, hence my askin.
