I built the hybrid's wooden stock, I think it looked nice.

I agree with that assessment, looks very classy

Time to admit that I've harvested enough Crosman donors for all the projects I have in mind and I ought to get started on one of them

What is this project about? I am curious... 8-) I like the Crosman style grip, very convenient and I have used it before on the "Caselboy" . There are several pneumatic projects I have on my list for which this collection is intended to provide parts, along with an assortment of rifled barrels and ...

Brilliant! I think I'm going to make a list like yours, because I don't have ... Sometimes just the act of writing it down is enough to get started. I only have an "existentialist" look at Jean P. Sartre, of my projects, a question that lacks "poetry", and this is bad because it resembles to the my...

Damn, that was lucky. I had a similar experience many years ago with an 8mm ball bearing that bounced back on a steel plate - though I was not struck, it did make a nice clean hole in what was then my bedroom window: https://www.spudfiles.com/download/file.php?id=4643&mode=view A foot or so to the s...

Don't beat yourself up over it. Bad things happen. That's why we try to be careful, but bad things still happen sometimes. We all have our stories and experiences. You shouldn't feel shame for what happened. It was an accident. They happen. Maybe try lead pellets instead? Steel tends to be pretty bo...

I'm pretty sure Larda holds the record for highest mix, at least the "public" record. 190X was totally insane.

This is the trigger frequency I am looking for. Holy... eres un fenomeno Hector! I really like the electro-mechanical control :D Very promising! Too bad not being able to use a tank with the mixture formed, because in this way it would be firing automatically in two days, but it is not an option du...

Hi, all. I am a grad student of nuclear engineering in Japan. And I am an administrator of UZUMA HEAVY INDUSTRIES. http://www.uzmlab.com/_/rsrc/1445192544054/config/customLogo.gif?revision=4 http://www.uzmlab.com/ I'm very glad to see this mentions for my inventions at this web site. ITWOST, I stum...

Something I've been pondering, a .30 cal pump pistol based on the Crosman 1322, so I put a couple of potential variations to pixels approximately to scale (10 pixels = 1mm) In both cases the hammer valve is replaced by a piston that is slightly biased forward. The second one has a bit less volume bu...

I really like that weapon and I had planned to buy it but they don't exist around here, at least for a long time, when I had the intention of doing so. Yes, the 13XX and 2240 series are probably the most popular and modified air pistols in history. A question that is interesting, to improve these w...

to dominate my mother-in-law

I think the word you meant to use was "tame", unless you have some very odd fetishes

I picked up one of these yesterday, still available for sale so I don't know if it qualifies as an antique but it certainly looks like one, being based on the Crosman 160 rifle design from the 60s but fitted with a 32 gauge barrel with a removable bolt allowing darts to be loaded. In my enthusiasm t...

Second here for using a burst disk and syringe metering. In terms of complexity, the next step up from that would probably be manometric (using chamber pressure to measure fuel and air) fueling. The type of fueling SB15 uses on his cannons is volumetric ("air through meter" design which is pretty ac...

I am planning on using the power of hybrid cannons as a project for my thermodynamics class and pretend to be doing a lot of tests on it. Always the best excuse :) I think you can go a lot simpler by just using a burst disk and fuel by volume (with a syringe) instead of by pressure. Example of a bu...
