Finally had time to do a vid:

Due to a shortage of beads I had to reload in the middle, edited that out.
Magazine holds 9 though.

I'll have to tune the hammer...it releases way too much air right now..and I had bent the top of the magazine...caused a jam..

Anyway..I fixed that after the video when I found the problem.


But.....here you can see I got it to work semi auto:

Impressive! I've been watching this project with keen interest, and have got to say it's getting better and better as it goes! I for one can't wait until you put some nice shiny dark wood furniture on for a handle and such, but still, it looks pretty kick a$$ at the moment.

Great job BTB, keep it going!

:D Thanks!

Although you guys need to make up your mind...Wich is it?
Shiny wood finish..or post-apocalyptic- Boba fett lookin'...
:roll:


I've fitted a longer barrel, have had some issues with the seal between that and the bolt, but I'm making progress..

Now I have a seal but it won't recock because of the added friction.
Seems like I need to polish out the breech...but it's all boxed in...

So...I made a tool out of a long speed-drill bit and a dremel-sanding bit...

Should work...
Maybe I can get to autoload those 10mm leadballs anyway!

takes two-three tries now to load one and fire it...but they still pancake! :mrgreen:
