Steve Pope said to me once, you need deep pockets to fund your own production rifle. Such a shame he never got to finish his wonder lever. VM3 / VM3R Mach 1.5
Still watching this with interest Dan, can't wait to see it all up and running.

Huge shame, Paul.
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 2025.........BOING!!
Not sure if I've shared this video before, probably not.
Quick and unscientific comparison against a Walther LGV. Both at roughly 11 ft-lb, LGV a bit heavier because it had a scope on. Both held as loosely as possible.
Again, piston masses not tuned properly so some recoil is seen. Next videos will hopefully be version 2 with design tweaks and new pistons.

That looks impressive, mate. I'm not a Springer fan but That vid has tickled my interest....
My interest tickled too, my dream rifle would have been a recoilless Theoben Taunus.
VAYA CON DIOS
Looks awesome Dan.....
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Will look at that video later.....

Very little movement, looks impressive!
Thanks for the kind comments.
I'm desperate to get the new and improved V2 finished so people can try it. Maybe a 2023 boinger bash if all goes well!
Cracking stuff Dan
Time for an update!
Recoilless break barrel V2 has been put together. Currently shooting under 6 ft-lb and in a temporary 3D printed stock. Next step is to strip it all down and inspect all the parts. Then rebuild it, sort out the weird vibration, and start power development.
Will look in at the video later (don't want to wake anyone up!).
Did you make the stock, Dan?
