Ya enter it thats a nice rifle gun

what if another portion of the contest could be to see who could make most to scale rifle (i.e. looks like an off of the shell air rifle, or even a high power rifle) I am in the process of trying to work out some kinks in an idea I had of this nature on my big empty drawing board (my mind).
We'll see if anything ever comes of it.

thats a good idea, so the competition would be judged on looks, design, functionality, build quality and overall coolness... well thats what i think it should be judged on.

hmm, we could judge it on who can get the pelet to go the fastest

With a reasonably sized pneumatic gun that uses air, CO2, or nitrogen?
I'm going to need a shock pump.
We will all need shock pumps.

EDIT: I know that SOMEONE will take my post literally, so I will say now that we can use high pressure sources, too.

so if this comp is happening then we should make some rules to make it more interesting/challenging/fun

also what about using sabots to shoot pellets?

kool it becasue i am finding it hard to find a 5.5mm barrel that is a descent length.

Well here it is starting to look more and more like a gun now. I decided to make it a pistol. I want to give it to my little Nephews. I want to add a scope and such. Anyone figure out what the air tank is made off LOL.

looks like a float ball out of a toilet. i might be wrong i have flapper

No your right I saw a air tank made from a brass or copper one one time. Couldn't find one of them so I used this one. Don't tell Moma thats why the toilet don't work LOL

isn't the sprinkler valve a bit big for a pellet gun, i would use a qev and blowgun trigger, this would also give the gun better lines.

If I knew what a Qev was and how to build one I wouldn't use a sprinkler valve. I had nothing but trouble with them.They want seal and they let air out the barrel.

Chuck, you don't build a QEV, you buy one.

Check the wiki for their operation and Fastenal has them on their website, under the name 'exhaust valves'.
