Layout for my next spring powered air soft with a 4" stroke piston and 2 expansion springs, this time with rearward charging.

Layout something like this

Got the locking and trigger release mechanism working.

Getting the loading mechanism linked into the charging mechanism has been a headache but it is getting close.



Charge/load position, block on the charge rod moves about 80mm then hits the rounded piece on the L arm as it only needs about 20mm movement to move the plunger to the load position.

Mostly complete and had some test firing, loading works ok, just need the scope set up. Need to make butt plate and cover for the top spring.

Super cool.
See the labor in build.
I like it.
Another note or idea.
Always thought is it possible to have a two stage pressure piston off the one stroke.

Very very very good construction job, I like it! The weapon is a little gem, in my opinion. Sometime in about 200 years I will be able to approach its high level of construction. The best I have seen in this forum. Keep building your things, much need. Greeting

Nice work!

very well made, but isnt it too much for what it is ? i mean you made it more complicated then a Ak firearm machinegun... witch make it hard to operate in the backyard ....

but it is indeed a piece of mechanics ...., show us some target shooting/soda cans

I tried to keep it simples (KISS)

That's beautiful man. That's the kind of project where if you just have to enjoy the fabrication process itself. The shooting is the icing on the cake Nice work!
