Incredible recoilless rifle

[averageplinker]

Sure looks it!

I like that!

In years gone by this rifle could have gone into production.


A Weihrauch vertical Rekord type trigger unit, what would Herman have made of this

Any effort to make recoilless spring powered airgus must be applauded. I like it.

Reads fantastically well.. Unfortunately I can't view the images at the moment (ageing device) but will try to have a squint at them on my phone later.

Thank you for posting.

I quite fancy getting a recoilless break barrel.
I'm hoping the new Norica Omnia ZRS will be available soon.

That looks very interesting, and the machining details shows the makers skill and ingenuity!

that does look good

yah, heard about that a year ago.. not heard much since...

a simple sledge gun (like a tx200 SR) is not really that hard to produce... with the price inflation (see other thread in general), one good aspect is that it opens up a economical niche for these guns, that were previously too expensive compared to the competition...

Is there any plan to produce these commercially, perhaps to begin with as a 'cottage industry', on an occasional basis? Where does the barrel come from?

One of the most interesting developments in air rifles - which almost needs a separate thread - was the Greener and I only thought of this yesterday when I saw one at Kempton. The lever to the side of the barrel closed the barrel onto the loading port, which protruded into the barrel when the lever was closed. This ensured efficiency of transfer between air and pellet but, presumably, the new modern seals have made this concept redundant.
