Hey fellow rednecks,....

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 the scuba shop can fill them for me....
more to come soon.

Ex crossbow stock
1/4 alloy qev valve and various brass/stainless fittings
1/8 parker 3 way trigger valve
ninja paintball tank and reg, CP 3000psi remote line

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 while back. I shot the predator approx
10 times before the saftey jammed on, and now i cannot cock it, as the safety is supposed to
lock in as you cock it, if you get what i mean.

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.

What would you take for the Barnett? I'll find a buyer.

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

$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 pyramid airguns website quite often and drool over their great range of
airguns. Funnily enough, you can buy a marauder off them for around $450 US.

PS.. check out airgun reporter with paul capello on youtube.
He does great proffesional reviews on anything airguns if your
interested.
