Gaderelguitarist, I agree with your thoughts about a handle (pistol grip) and barrel support. This gun was my first pneumatic effort. Rather that geek with this gun much anymore, I am planning such for the next build up. It will have a four-sided picatinny rail mount around the barrel, and the botto...

Yes Cannoneer, Kanonier is Swiss (and also German) for Cannoneer. Yes, I have tried the Cold Steel broadhead darts and they scratched the inside anodizing of the barrel. If I was to use them again, I would first dull the back edge of the broadhead with a grinder to prevent such. I didn't do any accu...

I noticed that MSC sells seamless stainless tubing with an ID of .777", and that 10 gauge shotgun bore size is .775".
