I like the looks of the gauge/CO2/Foster manifold, looks like you might have to nibble off the front upper corner for your breech band?.... I like how everything fits together, though....

We're going to cut a 1" radius where the band will interfere with the gauge manifold

The lower (minus piston head & follower, piston rod, valve, hammer & RVA) weighs 2 lbs 5 oz.

I think around 8 lbs unscoped will be awfully close for the weight of an assemble rifle.

Also, the production guns will have a hardened 3/16" pivot pin with e clips for ease of maintenance... I hate drive pins!!!
It depends on if we have to drill out the insert for the pivot pin Tim installs...

Bob, the measurement from the bottom of the tube to the face of the pressure gauge is ~1.480" so the gauge will be slightly recessed into the stock for protection.
Also the schedule 80 nipple that's been silver soldered into the manifold has a .200" opening - I will probably have Jim open it up to .266" to match the valve throat if uts safe to do so.

Yeah I noticed the roll-pin but figured you wouldn't leave that.... *grin*....

You will have to look at the wall thickness on the nipple to the bottom of the threads and do the math to determine the maximum ID.... Not sure how big a hole you can get in the neck of the CO2 safely either....

I might must have missed it, but what size is the tank on there?

rsterne · « **Reply #264 on:** December 15, 2014, 07:34:26 PM »

There is about 25cc of volume inside the pump tube and another 20 in the CO2 cartridge used as a reservoir.... for a total of about 45 cc....

Just an open co2 bottle or a special valve on it?

Looking real good CRS. I really like what i see here.

rsterne · « **Reply #267 on:** December 15, 2014, 11:00:14 PM »

It's a 16 gr. CO2 threaded cartridge with a hole drilled into the neck, no valve.... It just increases the air volume of the reservoir to give more shots....

Thanks Cedric!

I've been working roughly 18 hours a day since August between my full time job, producing slugs full time and spending a couple hours at a time at Jim's drawing parts plans.
He's all tooled up now and has caught up to me *Very* fast!
I will finish plans on Thursday then work on slugs for a week.

Then when I'm all caught up (LOL!) I'll be at Jim's machining parts with him for the second run of Millenniums.

Good thing I'm not married...My wife would despise all things air guns!

I'm really hoping to be tuning customers completed rifles in a few weeks - I will log and post all range data.

Can't wait to be out shooting my new rifle! These are looking great!

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #270 on:** December 17, 2014, 02:26:43 PM »

One setback guys...it was brought to my attention by one of the airgun TV shows (I e mailed them to see if they'd like to review a rifle) that there's already a firearm called the *Millennium*...I Google searched it and its the Millennium line of pistols from Taurus.

I am trying to contact them to make sure its not an issue naming this air rifle the Millennium, as I don't want to buy myself a lawsuit

Hopefully they agree and put it in writing...otherwise we will have to come up with a new name for the rifle before I send the breeches out for laser engraving.

I'm open to suggestions while I wait to hear back from Taurus International...

Here's a couple just to get some thoughts rolling out there:
"Freedom", "Exemption", "Liberator"

Have you checked the trademark?

moorepower · « **Reply #273 on:** December 17, 2014, 04:21:02 PM »

B.F.A.R.

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #274 on:** December 17, 2014, 04:57:58 PM »

LOL @ B.F.A.R.! I get it

I will check the trademark - maybe it's a non issue.

I checked for a TM and the only thing I can find is http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4810:x3xmq7.7.2 and its for 'TAURUS MILLENNIUM' so as long as you call it a Millennium Pumper or something I would think youd be ok

rsterne · « **Reply #276 on:** December 17, 2014, 06:23:47 PM »

It would APPEAR that the Trademark is the two words used together.... We have the Trademark for our Motel for "Mozey-On-Inn", obviously the word "Inn" is not trademarked.... US Law may, however, be quite different.... If you search the single word "Millennium" you get lots of hits on that website....

... call it the GTA special?...

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #278 on:** December 17, 2014, 09:34:16 PM »

The default is obviously the 'STERNE' air rifle

If the Taurus name is married as 2 names in sequence we should be fine.

However, I *do* like 'Big Fine Air Rifle' LOL

Mike

dman1114 · « **Reply #279 on:** December 17, 2014, 09:54:24 PM »

why don't you just call it the Rat Pumper...

Then u can have a Rat PCP

a Rat Pistol

maybe even a RAT Sniper...

and if you go really big u can make a rat cannon...

and then best of all they can all shoot Rat slugs
