When I first searched I didn't find much info so I had to go on my own way so I'll give you 2 basic ideas.

This is fairly common purple is O-rings, There is a collar of larger pipe that slips over the barrel, and the o-rings seal it.

Second there is a outer and iner barrel the outer barrel is fixed so it can't move and the barrel slides back and forth insiode to accomodate the projectile ypu will have to figure out your own way to attach a bolt and locking mechanism though but its not too hard.

Search for PVC ballistics on google - they have a good bolt action design.

And I agree with Gort here, this is a forum, not a text message.

Been thanked: 3 times

because in this compilcated world of spudguns it can be hard to understand or read what you type when you miss every third letter and takes longer to read then if you typed normally.

Im just thinking of a first pneumatic gun with bolt action. My ideas are in my head but they just don't want to come out. I know it doesn't sound like I have got any ideas but I have :?
