I am in OCD mode right now working on a PCP pistol.
The valve is working, but I have a long, long way to go. The barrel in the picture is about 8" long. All I have shot so far is air, but... oh yeah!

edit- P.S. Yes, blocky, ugly, temperamental, no trigger, no magazine, but headed in the right direction.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I went back and edited in a disclaimer to my post.

What Caliber Lloyd?

Right now I have a .308 barrel on it more or less as a place holder. I have to determine how much air the valve will flow efficiently and how I want to deal with air tank(s). Right now it only has 44 cc's inside the hollow pistol grip. I need at least 4 times that.

Interesting project.... but I won't lie and tell you it's beautiful.... although the machining certainly is.... I assume the reservoir in in the grip?.... or is it just tethered?....

Pistols over 500 fps are Restricted Weapons in Canada.... can only be shot at a range.... and you need a permit to get it there.... Not a lot of point, unfortunately....

.308......

One of my favorite calibers.
You continue to amaze me Lloyd.

Wow....nice work. Maybe I'm just easy ha ha. Can't wait for the finished product.

Thanks for the comments everybody.
One step closer. Still ugly, but proof of concept is ok.

Holy cow batman, I am constantly amazed by wealth of information on this site. But never have I seen so many people in place with talent like this, I think some of these airgun companies need to hire a handful of our members here for r&d and then not change anything after the airgun is researched, designed and built

Lloyd I don't even know where to even start with a compliment on what you've built. So I hope that in its self is a compliment

I'm in the market for a good .357 pistol if you ever make one

MustangMike · « **Reply #13 on:** December 19, 2011, 01:54:00 PM »

is it just me or does that pea shooter have a little kick to it ?

Mike, yeah. That's after I turned the wick down on it. Dual air tubes will be needed.

If I can get the .308 functioning well, then I think I'd be obligated to try .357.

Absolutely Wicked!!! Nice Concept as well Lloyd!
