had a lil extra time , so i did a couple new builds this spring .
after building my last pumper (straight pump .30cal) and having awesome success , i was thinking i should build a new lever action and a pumper with a lever
the lever action , 7 shot , 30cal has been fully tested and works better then i could have imagined . i started converting some of my older guns to have a ssg , so this has a ssg built into it , very consistant , 14 shots and it only drops 200psi over the 14 , steady at about 860-880f/s . the gun was built to start at 2400psi , after 21shots it stays above 2000psi . the shot count is helped by the extra long barrel

the pumper is built from extra heavy tube for the pump and a stainless steel valve assembly . 11'' stroke at .63 '' builds pressure very quick . i went with a .8 to .9ci valve ...which a about the size my other pumper uses and got around 80fp . ive not tested this full ...yet . but so far it is working well . stock is a bit ruff . the bolt has a detent in it and locks it in place and allows it to be pulled straight out and back to load then push forward and back in . this keeps it from hitting on the hammer cocking bolt .
im sure i will keep it a pumper but the pump can also be removed by simply unskrewing it and a air tube can be skrewed on in its place .(only 8 ci of air tho unless i make new rings for the barrel )

I am a sucker for lever guns and that is a nice piece of work.

Well done on both of them.

Next time you fond some extra time can you send me some?

thanks . i put the pumper thru some tests this morning for power . no problem to get over 80 fp . 80 gr going near 700f/s ,and this is with my hammer spring not heavy enough . i was suprized . i figured i had a spring and hammer strong enough to open 2500 psi easy ..... but i need a better one so i think i can get 90fp easy maybe 100 . at 10 pumps it is getting 45fp .
getting some sights finished up today for some target shooting .

maybe i'll lend a few lever actions out Plinker .

video i shot this morn with the lever . not the best shoot ive done , but video turned out ok . good to get out and do some shooting . i know every one elses guns group under a dime , but this was a quick just to test
first vid ive got to post .

Maybe not the best groups you ever shot, but at least you got out shooting....which is more than I've been able do this year

Very nice builds as usual, Collin...great work!

finished up the .30 pumper a few days back , have not had the time latly to work on it , but did get it all done , sighted in yesterday some what . been so windy here it is un real . so no true result to post . at 120 feet it hits well , i assume with no wind it will do 1 ragged hole , next wind free day i will have a go at 300+.
wish the wood could have been a lil darker but it looks ok , went with industrial brand back sight , and finally got the front made and fitted nice .

Holy Cow.
I missed this post in the summer.
I had to comment. Lol.
Great built on both gun Collin.

I like the forend on the lever.
And i think i might need to ask you to build me 2 guns now that i see the pumper.

Really nice rifles. Any pics from the beginning to the end of the builds? Always interested in how they are made.
