It looks great! I like the line work on the wood and wrapped gauze tape(?) over the PVC. The look is worthy of the one and only, Capt. Jack Sparrow.

it's a very interesting concept, a homemade air pistol. What did you use to hold the air pressure for reserve?

hey Dannon, yeah its a gauze wrap that sticks to itself once applied. i thought it would add a nice touch and also make the grip more comfortable. it could very well be! Thankyou!

Hey guys, first of thanks for letting me know what you think!
ive got a cool surprise for whoever sees this, i decided to make another one :twisted: , this time a little bit bigger and with a stock and sights. and boy does she perform well. from 20m out can hit anything i sight into (sights are adjustable and can go up to 50m range) at 30m the grouping is about a CD case big. :lol:
ive built this one in the same style, just without the linework on the wood( it was done by using a magnifying glass in the sun... :roll: ) so yeah here it is! enjoy! leave me a comment, cheers guys

Really think you have done a super job with disguising the pvc pipe, has a great a antique look to it.
