Got enough parts assembled to test fire, the small cylinder will do the reload, magazine tube tube attaches to the threaded fitting on the side.

Shaping up nicely! It's odd though to see that lovely metalwork juxtaposed with PVC pressure chambers.

This work is very cute, and from what I can see in the video, it works perfectly. I like very much !
Just a tip: Decorate your weapon with other colors. The pink and the flowers seem a bit extravagant! (joke) :)

Did some actual firing at 140psi, no sights yet. Extension takes barrel from 500 to 800mm, still has some kick with it on.

This job looks great! I really like the look. Waiting for video test shot, with telescopic sight. :)

The high scope reminds me of the AUG :o

They are similar. What you can consider trying is to fill the mechanisms, maybe everything would be something futuristic. It's just my opinion. Likewise, as it is, it is very beautiful aesthetics. Aesthetics of the functional.

Yes I did consider covering it in more, but just more weight and time spent for no real gain.
Dropped the scope about 10mm and moved forward 20mm.
One problem I discovered was double feeding, especially when the ammo tube was full, I guess the extra weight was the cause. When fired, some air leaks into the ammo tube and shoots the BBs up, (you can hear them rattle) and because the reload cylinder opened the instant the main valve closed the BBs were managing to feed 2 instead of 1. I put an exhaust restrictor on the reload cylinder to slow it's opening and make sure the BBs have settled before it opens the port. It slows the reload cycle time slightly but does seem to stop the double feed.
This is how it works inside

You should put in a mpu and a solenoid :p but the dubble feed is a classic issue, i made a ball dent. A 4.5 mm stell ball and a spring :p it works great. But i have a spring loaded magazine.
