Yes that would be the way to get the centre point marked out for drilling. as long as you use the right bore size needle.Not for Baz. He may even share the method.

Was going to use some rod I have but it was not a tight fit in the bore. Delrin also is terrible to cut with a hacksaw or drill as it is fairly soft and blades and the drill wanders. Used 3 drills in increasing sizes up to 4.5mm to keep the hole centralised to where it had to be. Worked great, the rifle groups well. Found that wood files are best for filing Delrin, give a better finish.Yes that would be the way to get the centre point marked out for drilling. as long as you use the right bore size needle.

Thanks for compliment, I found out later when I did it there was also a crazy spring loaded seal arrangement missing from the transfer port. Had to make up a large home made seal (about 10 x 6 mm) before it would shoot.Inspired that - well done!

I remember having one of these in .22 new in around 1963. Although I thought it was a grand little rifle at the time it didn't last long. After a few months the fore-end split, I was heart broken but my old scout master fixed it by inletting a couple of brass plates and screwing and gluing it together.
The loading port was also the rear sight, it was made of something like black nylon, it got progressively harder the push down once the pellet was inserted, so much so that I resorted to using something hard to press it down.
This flattened the top of the sight, the stock split again and the game was up. I've not seen one since but only recently I came across a bit of the underlever mechanism when I was cleaning out my old Dads shed, no idea what happened to the rest of it.
may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration
Sounds like you have improved on the original design. Would be interesting to see what one would be like if you made a similar design up from bits of a BSA Cadet and some mild steel. Heavier, but 5 ft/lbs would be nice.
