Projects you have planned?

[ABshooter]

I'm just wondering what kind of projects you guys have planned (airgun or otherwise). Mine:
A 1377. With wood (grips and forearm), a really light valve spring, a heavy hammer spring, a hammer polish, a normal trigger and sear polish and lube, and a trigger shoe.
Finish my 2240. Needs a Tasco 3-9x40, and a bulking.
A CZ631. With the mods RM422 did to his.

My next project is to replenish my airgun account with funds for more airguns. The HW50S wiped it out.

I have a Crosman 600 project in the works...waiting on parts.

Plans are in the works for my Mk.1.

Is that your gun in your avatar? It looks really nice.

[airgunfun]

That's just an image of a Mk.1 taken from an owner's manual. I would love to have walnut grips like those with the checkering.

[ABshooter]

Oh. Well, it still looks really nice.

I have more planned projects that I can do a 1322 & a 2289 waiting for full mods.

And now to let the big secret out of the bag Two friends and I have went into partnership on a project that will be of interest to some of you.

We have purchased plans and are now gathering materials to build a copying machine that makes exact duplicates of things like gun stocks and grips, canoe paddles, axe handles ect, ect.

Constuction should start in a couple of weeks.

A copying machine huh... I'll take an Angelina Jolie, better make that 2.

HAHA.

I'm assuming you're referring to a CNC router?

I bought one last year.......sold it in a hurry. For the stuff I do, it had two problems:

1st: My business was cut in half as soon as word hit the street that my stuff wasn't "hand" made. Clients told me that if they wanted a machine produced piece of wood, they'd buy it from Ikea.

2nd: Wood is not a constant. Unlike metal, which is pretty much universal, wood has grain, figure, tone......personality if you will. A machine cant see a gentle swirl or a hint of flame and say "hey, i should turn this this way, and cut this here". It just mindlessly grinds out whatever the 1's and 0's tell it to.

Good for production work though......find a source for grey laminates and I'll give you some gunstock business.

Hi everyone,

One of my crazy ideas is to convert my Baikal IZH-61 to a .22 air rifle. At the moment, all I am doing is getting measurements of barrel length and diameter. Just picked up a micrometer for measuring the barrel diameter. The 5 shot magazine will accept flat head .22 pellets only. There is not enough width to accept pointed pellets. I have tried drilling one magazine a mil wider to see if a .22 pellet sits ok in the hole and there will not be any problems with it.

So anyway, still in the search for a .22 rifled barrel to replace existing one.

Let you all know how it goes with the project.

Take care,

NIGHTHAWK

i got a few things on the go . a 9mm qb 78 conversion kit ,got one done for my cr160 . i'm also working on a hw45 style gun ,but it's all steel and much better made, with a heavier spring and longer barrel and piston . hoping for 500f/s+ in .22 cal .
i just finished making up some 9mm barrel for some new hpa and working on a 40cal and 50 ,i ran out of steel so i'm on hold for a bit .
i may have to quit my job and go with my hobby . i don't know of any one building bigbore in canada, to bad .

a 9mm or 50 cal. (havent made up my mind) multi pump rifle. should, by my calculations, get good power from around 20-30 pumps. i'll try and moderate the pumps to keep it legal... maybe with a check valve in the piston or something. an adjustable one

thing is i need to save up and buy a small lathe. any suggestions?
