Paul, that's precisely why the first conversion was purchased. I guess I'm not the only old timer who's tired of fumbling pellets?

Stalwart tried to send a personal message but it got rejected. So I'll post it here.

I have made a single shot loader and all made by hand or small power tools. It's not bullet proof in usage being that the hole for the bolt is some what large and the .177 can flip in the loading hole if not careful. The loading tray had to be cut of the barrel also. But it is still a lot easier to load than without it. You probably can machine something better out of aluminum because most of my parts are acrylic plastic or improve on the idea with your skills. I would think if you like the concept you could market it if you like. I think it would cost a lot less to the buyer than the magazine route (not sure). Will try and send some pics if I can get into your personal messages if interested. Thanks

I just pruned the PM, but... it won't last. Guys, please just email me with the little link.

Paul, I'd love to see your idea, but are you certain you wouldn't rather refine and market it? I'd be more than happy to help, if I can... and you can always just sub production if it's a hit. I will consider myself under a non-disclosure agreement until released in writing... send some pics!

R&D is my passion...

If I were a machinist I still wouldn't want to go through the hassle of marketing. Then again I kind of think if I were one the idea may be better improved. You may not think its a great idea but if there are things you like just use them. If I have trouble with the PM what email link do I use?

You have to cut the receiver and the barrel.

What about the PRod Magazine would it by chance be a little smaller, so that you wouldn't have to cut as much out of the breech, or is it too small??

Eric cannot figure how to post pics in your PM box. So will post them here. First two pics show front and back with back with a half cut scope ring using the clamping section. So all it is a loader that clamps to the dovetail with a loader that flips open and flips down to load pellet. Oh did I mention the barrel loading tray needs to cut off?

William, the Prod mag works well in these, and is very compact... ask Bob!

Paul, that is clever... pure and simple. I'm impressed. It's compact and simple. A machinist could make it pretty, but you've got it solid. It's got me thinking. Well done.

Click on the little envelope under my name, and it will set up an email. Drop me a line.

Humm,, did i go wrong purchasing the Discovery?? Humm

You will get a lot more shots from the Disco without having to refill, they are quite different guns.... The FD-PCP is more of a hobbyist's gun for someone who likes to tinker, IMO.... Not that it can't be made into a good hunter, just keep in mind the smaller reservoir and lower fill pressure....

Well, things are rolling here.

The parts for 2 conversions showed today, as well as the last of the supplies needed to do this right. When more customer parts come, I'll start the receiver run, as I have some of my own stripped and ready to cut.

Got the longer boring bar in, and set a full thickness tube into a receiver tonight. Last hurrah until the runs are over... but. it looks like a 3K 60C is in the cards.

Kailua · « **Reply #170 on:** March 13, 2014, 04:41:57 AM »

3K? Sounds like winner.

stalwart · « **Reply #171 on:** March 13, 2014, 05:46:51 AM »

I won't pretend, even for a minute, that I know how to make one shoot at 3K... but, as I relied entirely on our Beloved Safety Officer for all safety related specs, I am quite confident it won't explode if it falls over.

stalwart · « **Reply #172 on:** March 14, 2014, 05:54:51 PM »

A quick pic for those who have skin in the game. Roughed in... I will finish them on my Sherline.
