This is going to be a long thread - bitza build - can you guess what it is yet ?

Excellent work, JB, and we know you'll get there with the barrel and stock. Will you be going wood or ally?

Ta. I have a Dragon stock spare that'll be inlet to suit.

I prefer steel for the barrel Tone. I've tried wood in the past, like bamboo, and whilst it's fine for 1/2" blowdarts at hallway ranges, it just doesn't group at longer range

Fingers crossed the KT muzzle brake will fit when you find the right barrel!

Just a few things done today...

Took the gamo trigger out and did the RC bearing mod, as it was terrible. Now it's lovely and light, but still no discernable second stage. I need to introduce one somehow, but with a bit of moly and the bearing, at least it's very smooth and light.

Found a stock


Trimmed down the trigger cage to make the inletting easier. Will break out the router at the weekend.. too crowded in the workshop to do it in there.




And I've decided on the donor barrel, from a FWB300S, as it's already blued and accuracy is assured.

I've also realised I need to make a trigger guard.. that can wait... This might be a working gun by Sunday; it'd be nice to take it to the range...
