Sureshot BL-415 -- Camo
Posting for customer Travis. Travis built this from a Sureshot Inc. premium offset kit and added his own custom camo paint job. This BL-415 has a 60" barrel, and he built his own custom take down assembly.

thats what i was thinking Thunderlord nice design,but the shiny aluminium
sorta deffeats the purpose of camo, other than that good work,
only other ponder i have is the price,there pretty expensive weapons,how much would u estimate this thing cost to build in relashion to the sale price
u probly wont answer this but what sorta profit would u make on such an item?

The price is pretty exorbitant but you get what you pay for. You get a custom made easy propane meter that is one of the most aesthetically pleasing and easy to use meters I've seen, a custom made military looking handle, a clean looking combustion cannon, true breech load barrel, muzzle brake (I think), machined parts for pump, machined parts for attaching handle, machined parts for holding the mapp/propane tank, a fan, all the wiring is done for you if you buy it already made and I think thats it.. correct me if im wrong.. when you add it up it does seem like it could cost some money for the people making it... so I find it to be within a reasonable price range...
Someone with experience in spudguns could easily make something that looks and performes the same or maybe even better than a gun like this one... for maybe 400 dollars or so... I'm talking like a 6 inch sch 80 chamber, fan, camlocks, spark stirp, hidden ignition, stun gun ignition, meter mapp or propane , etc... so I guess it can be done if you have enough money and knowledge to make it.
In my opinion I wouldn't buy pre-made or finished cannons off of the internet maybe a few spare parts or a thing here and there, and of course materials that I can't find in the stores near me, but I think that buying cannons defeats the whole purpose of this hobby which is doing stuff yourself and learning from what you do... I dunn just my opinion

I went to a gun store for the first time in... ever? Anyway I found some of that aluminum bluing stuff at the gun store and almost bought it, but I mis-read the label as "Touch up scratched and marred areas only" It's quickly not only duh.THUNDERLORD wrote:Looks great.
Could be more camo with This stuff maybe.
Or powder coat or black annodized.
I might use it when I upgrade the *censored for contest*.

I was wondering about that. Why such a large chamber jager? I could see this being a very nice tactical mortar if mounted on a stand.starman wrote:Wow, that a whole bunch of chamber there....and really nice camo paint job.
Yeah, it's that important.
The kits are $600 and fully assembled version is $950. Usually you'll have to spend $50 in materials to get the project complete.FORE!!!! wrote: only other ponder i have is the price,there pretty expensive weapons,how much would u estimate this thing cost to build in relashion to the sale price
Profit? This seems to get brought up quite a bit... Honestly, I have never thought of this as a "get rich scheme". theBoom has it right... and, there are a sector of people that have the money for something with good performance, fully machined aesthetics and great reliability.FORE!!!! wrote: u probly wont answer this but what sorta profit would u make on such an item?
Not sure about that either. He may have some long and or larger diameter barrels he cam-locks on...Mr.Sandman wrote:I was wondering about that. Why such a large chamber jager?

TL, Mike sent out quite a few for black anodizing. They were done up with bright dip so they are rather shiny. On the next batch, I would opt for a mat black, sand blasted black or powder coated satin black. We DO have the capability to powder coat, I don't know if they are offered on the USG website.THUNDERLORD wrote:Looks great.

OOH maybe even ruberrized matte black on that note. Only problem is that rubberized pait doesnt last too longUSGF wrote:TL, Mike sent out quite a few for black anodizing.

Travis did a nice job with the paint and assembly but, I have to salute the designer and machinist. Clean simple lines yet, extremely elegant! A combination that's very hard to achieve.jagerbond wrote:Posting for customer Travis. Travis built this from a Sureshot Inc. premium offset kit
