Advice wanted regarding crudely home made Air Pistol

[Vic Thompson]

As far as I am aware it's all there and as of today's date I have cocked and fired it once (but not something that I will do further for both Health and Safety and preservation of condition reasons).

Basically you pull the cocking lever down, fiddle with the Trigger (there's no Trigger Spring ?) in order to engage the Sear, fiddle with the cocking linkage in order to allow the cocking lever to return to the "closed position", and fire it at will (and in answer to the question posed in the above posting, the first stage (and only stage) let off is around three tons).

From the safety point of view I'd say that it does work, but that if anyone wanted to use it on a regular basis it shold be fitted with a weaker spring.
