Simple+cheap way to make a perfect match sabot for sub-caliber ammo with custom size barrels

Don't you hate trying to match steel ball bearings and
inner diameter's of various tubing/pipe materials!
Very good idea wyz, are they accurate though?

Awesome thanks so much jonesy42 :D With the pump in the second pic would be the chamber per say but i highly doubt its big enough, so i was thinking an elbow would allow enough space? Is that a bike "shock pump" you want to fit in your forestock? I am not familar with how they work, but im sure som...

I doubt most people have a backyard big enough to fit the actual launcher in

Good job Saddam hussein didn't get his hands on that bad boy!
Talk about weopons of mass destruction,... CRIKEY!

All comes down to how much coin is in your pocket really. If you are making your own stock, it would cost around $250 to buy these other parts/fittings including scope, paintball tank etc. Well worth it when the finished product performs as good or better than a commercial factory air rifle in my op...

Props for keeping at it... and did you know that this happened while you were away :D http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/vera-my-very-favorite-gun-t23989.html http://www.thehalls-in-bfe.com/Temp/VeraForScale.jpg http://www.thehalls-in-bfe.com/Temp/Vera04.JPG http://www.thehalls-in-bfe.com/Temp/VeraThu...

@harridawwg.... Nice, looks a bit like a Air Force Talon , in the drawing with air tank in the stock).......
Im not sure what you mean with the pump etc though?
Here are some photos of the main parts i use for my semi-auto qev rifles.
I use a 6mm barrell and 9.5mm.

jackssmirkingrevenge thanks for the link, are those qevs easily available? With the slide valve, could i swap it out for like a safety release but so it doesn't release itself? so i can use a triger and isnt like an auto, like a schrader valve with and end cap to release pressure and act as the pil...

What about springers? any you know of floating around cheaper?

$350 would be a fair price, but if you want a PCP you'd be looking at a lot more, heck, it'd cost me about $400 just to get it in. Yeah i know,..i was kinda joking when asking for a marauder or some other pcp. You would be looking at $1200-1300 in australia for a maurader or evanix etc.... I go on ...

If i was going to sell it?,... probly around $350-$400...... Not sure i want to
sell it yet though. I would swap it for a benjamin marauder in .25 cal if ya got one handy

Zeus wrote:Don't go stripping the Barnett yet mate, I'll see about fixing that up. Be a shame to gut one, and it'll fetch a good price in some markets.

LOL.... i already have, but i have everything to put it back together if need be.

Nice work mate, look forward to seeing some high pressure tests. Still got the guts and prod from the crossbow? Cheers zeus, yeah i still have the trigger assemblies and prods etc from my crossbows. I bought a Barnett predator and the chinese one you see in the photo before they banned them in WA a...

Hey fellow rednecks,.... :lol: Here are the latest pics of my (updated) 9.5mm qev rifle. I have changed a number of parts/fittings, to make it a bit lighter and ergonomic etc.... I'm hanging out to test it with 300-500psi!....Im waiting on a fill hose for my paintball cylinders,... so the dude at th...

Just had a look at some scuba compressor's $2000-$4000,... OUCH!
Do you reckon you could modify a 4 stroke high pressure washer?, some of those
are 2500-3000psi rated and cost about $600

P.s..... I reckon jsr or wyz will have a crack at making one lol. First, I do enjoy refill my 0.5L paintball tank with my hill mk3 just as exercise :) Second, while I was in China I ordered a scuba compressor that´s used to refill diving bottles, refills a 10L bottle to 200 bar in 20 min :D no need...
