Ok guys its been a quite a while Ie been researching, designing and polishing n Now its finished. Think Im callin it the : PR1 Regal... i dunno yet still thinkng about it

Well its a
75 caliber
Single shot, sprinkler valve (3/4 ")
14 inch pull length,
bolt action ( not 100% finished yet...needs the bolt)
1.25x12" copper chamber pneumatic rifle
shooting at (according to software) 450fps with marbles as ammo

The body is made of wood( not sure what kind) & hot glue( lol yeh ... needed something to fil in the gaps with).The barrel is made of pvc and chrome rod ( to give it some shine :D ) Right now it shoots wax ... it can shoot marbles but the barrel isnt a perfect fit. None the less pretty good performace so far....Anyway enough chat here are the pics tell me what you think

great job, if I were you I'd top it off with a cheap red dot scope and and maybe add a folding bipod like the one chaoes made for his S400 ;)

nice work for your first pneumatic, is that breech loading i see?

again very nice work and good job on doing the research, thanks for not asking stupid questions like some other people do (the lazy ones) and waisting topic space.
