Phew! Marathon pistol project finished at last.

Wow!
You can be proud of that, superb piece of work, especially difficult as you've had a self taught apprenticeship covering many disciplines.
Very nice indeed.

Amazing job, John! Congratulations.

Seeing the innards of one of those bellows guns I can't help but think of a empty crisp packet, before it goes 'pop' when you clap your hands. Or one of those kids' rockets activated by stamping hard on the foot pump!

What an awesome culmination to a most ambitious project, John.
You must be very proud of that masterpiece, and deservedly so.
Congratulations!

Wow indeed, that is very good - any chance of a shot of the innards sometime?

Thanks for all the positive comments. These make a refreshing change from my better half’s views, who thinks I am slightly mad.

These pix might help explain the innards a bit better:

No,I didn’t make the antique air rifle (making the pistol was more than enough for me), and it was actually something I picked up recently and was then subject of a previous thread. http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....as-this-before
