You could tune the rifle to get 3 to 5 good shots at what ever pressure your comfortable pumping to.

Absolutely!.... It will be interesting once somebody takes the time to experiment and publish shot strings using a 4% ES at different fill pressures.... During development of the original, I detuned the Carbine to non-PAL power in Canada (under 500 fps), and got 8 shots within a 4% ES from a 1000 psi fill.... It only required using a shortened 2240 hammer spring, and a 0.100" diameter transfer port.... It used 460 psi (refilled at 540), and the efficiency was 1.54 FPE/CI....

Bob,
I just got a chrono last week so just started playing around with different fill presures in the next few weeks I will try to get some more shot strings up at different power levels. I might machine a guage for quickly and accurately retiring to a given hammer spring setting once I figure out what my low power setting will be.

Dumb question and probably already asked. But is there another way to fill besides hand pumping fur us partial cripples?

Yes there is a foster fill nipple on the side. I use that to fill when I'm doing chrono work. This is not a gun you want to pump all day long. I also fill from my floor pump if I'm not home with my tank. From dead empty to 2000psi it takes about 30 pump strokes with my fx 4 stage pump

Thanks a lot I might get one of the second round if he goes that far.

Has anyone made a video of these things in action? Can't find anything on the old YoobTube

Not yet hopefully next week when I get my rifle back from the machine shop we are just finishing up the shrouds.

Wow! I had missed this little bit of info about a foster fill nipple on the side which allows pumping from a
FX pump. Sounds like a lot less pumping and easier pumping than using the Millennium's pump. Wow!
I sure hope there is a 2nd run. I want one!

Just checking in to see how it's all coming along?

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #850 on:** November 23, 2015, 01:26:49 PM »

They're coming along good - I should have them all finished by this Saturday...I had to spend my last days off making slugs as I got too far behind & I'm waiting on Shrouds & LDC's to be finished & delivered anyway.

I'll post pics as they come together...I'm down to 5 that need to be assembled.

I hate being the one who asks for updates but if no one else will then I will.

Was hoping to see some pictures of completed rifles over the weekend. How's it going?

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #852 on:** December 01, 2015, 09:38:07 PM »

I will have pics up by this weekend.

Mike

c670809 · « **Reply #856 on:** December 14, 2015, 06:43:02 PM »

Has anyone heard from Mike? It's been a couple of weeks with no pictures and no updates.

Monkeydad1969 · « **Reply #857 on:** December 14, 2015, 10:53:38 PM »

I have to get these rifles range tested...just been waiting for the rain to stop.
