I hope that I don't like banned or something for saying this, but I'm 14 and I decided to take a crack at building a pellet rifle, since my mom thinks that I'f I buy a pellet rifle that I will go out and kill absolutely everybody.. I'm working on mach III still. I have pics of Mach I (PVC) and Mach 2 (wood/copper). Both reverse-bolt action, single shot. The barrels are a 1/4 inch brass brakeline tube from the local auto shop (mach I) and a .18 diameter smooth-bore tube from amazon made from stainless steel (mach II, if you're interested: The scope is 4x from walmart. since I took these pics I TIG welded the fittings. I use a solenoid valve and 3 9v batteries in series. The trigger is just a push-button switch. I hook to my shop compressor. It dents 22 gauge steel. It can through-and-through a soup can. It also goes through 2 layers of jeans into ballistics gel about 3 inches. Pics:

that's nice good work.
some extra pic's would be appreciated so far a nice build and is that tape holding the actual gun to stock i would find some other way of attaching it to stock make it nice and clean and could we have a pic of this gun without stock and a close up of the rear portion of the gun.

hawktalk-
Thank you, and sadly the tape isn't holding the pneumatic fitting and gun together, it is trying to conceal the electrical wiring. I should try to make it a bit less messy. Thanks for the support!

Awesome job. Cosmetics are the aesier and fun part, it should look great when you have finished it.

Isn't that how we all got into spudding
necessity is the mother of invention!
What solenoid valve are you using?
I bought one of
