just had an odd idea a folding stock and barrel springer would this be possible if so has any one done it? i have a sort of idea how to but wonder if any one has done it?

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
i was more thinking with out removing the barrel but along the lines of that
It's a Vulcan series type action -, as it says, the Excel
my idea was a folding stock like on the venom but then using a wing nut on where the cocking arm meets the breech block so you could unscrew it in seconds and fold the barrel round
ha!,i can mind seeing that
i did something similar with a victor as a sprog,poorly drilled pegs so i could refit the rear stock to the pistol grip
i can also recall it falling off during cocking and smacking me in the chin...happy days
I think Norica did a collapsible stocked springer IIRC.
I remember reading an article where someone fitted a Sterling SMG stock to an old Webley.
Look up johnjayrambo on YouTube. Survival airgun or air rifle.

Folding barrel would be interesting.
I had considered something on those line back when i had access to a machine shop but decided it was beyond my skill to pull off.
I was considering a compound hinge for the barrel and setting up the cocking link run like a T-slot over a stud so you could disengage the piston with a push button on the side of the stock thereby allowing you to fold the barrel right back to the trigger guard. when the link was engaged the travel would be self limited by the piston travel and work like a regular break barrel.
Norica Comando (correct spelling). Had a sliding stock (very vaguely like an MP5A3 one) and a camo-painted wood stock with a black plastic pistol grip.
Then there was the Chinese B3 sidelever variant that used a side-folder and looked a bit like an AK.
I have a vague idea that there is a rare variant of the Gamo68 “Paratrooper” with a side-folder. But I may be hallucinating.
Didn't Tim Finley of Airgun World magazine have a folding springer??.
