Safety first! ...Shooting indoors... Not a good idea with powerful guns

Hmmm, found these on Ebay

39+14$ for 202 1/2" steel balls. Thats not bad. But Im not so sure if I want those steel balls laying around my lawn. (I dont know why I accept lead more ).

Maybe I should mold own bullets?

Go here and click on "muzzleloading bullets" - no 0.50" lead balls but you can get 0.44" inner/0.50" outer plastic sabots for £0.09 each and 0.44" lead balls for £0.15 each, the plastic sabots will probably be reusable and will allow you to shoot practically anything that fits in them.

Absolutely . Still, the price is overkill. 0.45 Euro/bullet, that`s insane.
(If I got the price right? 10 sinkers for 4.5 euro?)

Hmm good idea, but the price is a little bit overkill for me .

Swosh, the gun is quite powerful :o .

Testshot @ 4.5cm (1.77") wood.

Btw, any tip on a good (and maybe cheap?) .50 ammo? Tested .47" wooden balls, but that was a catastrophe... .50" airgun lead
pellets would be nice, but I can only find them in america = too high shipping costs to europa.

Is that new stock finished??
Also, what are you using as a chamber??

Almost finished. Did this stock in a hurry so the finish is not nearly
as good as the other one. Im painting it now, pics will come soon :) .

The chamber is made of 1-1/4" "metal-pipe-fittings" (dont know the correct terms in ...

Working on a new stock

Yeah, the proportions looks a little of, probably because of the total length, it is kind of a long gun. Thx anyway

God dammit now Im sleeving it ... Had some pvc-pipe laying around, but Im out of paint so it will look shitty until I get some new paint.

The problem is that I am a coward, the QEV`s max pressure is 12 bar, and I have no idea how much punishment it can take... So I am on the safe side ;). i personally have taken them to 30 bar, some people on this forum have taken them as far as 60 bar, multiple times without failure :wink:

Oh ...

Hehe yeah, maybe I do, someday. But Im satisfied with the looks, or, I dont care so much for the looks. as long as it works, Im fine hehe.

It is actually very stable

Very nicely put together, in a quaint sort of way :) must take a bit of effort to get it up to pressure though as the chamber seems relatively large, you would have been better off with a smaller chamber and higher pressure.

The stock is particularly well finished, what wood is it?


Aaa forget ...
