Project Phoenix

[farcticox1]

Not being able to throw anything useful away I have a plan already for another 6mm BB launcher.

Born from the ashes of the old sniper, (barrel, scope & bipod went to the Far2017)

The Phoenix 2018, 250mm barrel with 300mm extension, probably removable stock as well.

Huge fan F1 love it..looking forward to the build progression.

BASR's are my all time favorite.

Oh wait it's born from the ashes of your old basr!

You are already with a new project, that's fine. I will have to think about my new projects for 2018

[farcticox1]

Had to do a bit of Tig welding to get the shape I wanted

[Air2theBrain]

Ooh nice to see a TIGGY. 8)

I haven't tig welded in a ages.i did a TIG welding course years ago...now i wish i never sold my TIG..

Now you can see how it all fits together, the white 1" PVC is the start of the chamber.

[Air2theBrain]

Awesome F1..what does the white cylinder do?

EDIT-Oops sorry start of the chamber.

[farcticox1]

Not going to have great power as it uses a pressure washer trigger, so relatively low flow, and lots of dead space. But will hopefully look good and will take a 20+ round magazine, pop cans look out

[Air2theBrain]

Will be a fun plinker looking forward to many more progress pics.

[farcticox1]

Managed to do some painting and gluing in the workshop today, so it's going to look something like this.

[Air2theBrain]

Looks fantastic! 8) 8) 8)

[farcticox1]

It can now transform from this

To this

[Air2theBrain]

Single shot..?

Looking good as always.

[farcticox1]

Yes, single shot, 6mm barrel for airsoft or BB's. Self loading bolt action I guess you would call it. The same idea as the FAR2017, but manual operation.

This is a shooting test I did, it can fire pretty quickly
