    Another great piece of gunsmithing, I think I have some pistols that are that heavy!

    Nice work.

    Great piece of gunsmithing, it will be interesting to see how carbon lasts as compaired to steel over time and with the pressure, at least no worry's about rusting.

    I wondered the same but apparently the cylinder is lined with brass tubing.

    Cheers,

    I think that is the most elegant pump-up I’ve seen.

    Question is, can it shoot through a metal dustbin?

    Yes it can like a Sheridan. The rifle is not just made of carbon fiber, it is a composite. Brass cylinder, steel barrel both covered by a carbon sleeve. All pivot points are equipped with bronze bearings. Cedar stock to keep the weight low.

    Recevoir and valves:



    Trigger mechanism 2 stage:

    Gorgeous. It’s Steampunk & Space-X & 1960s pneumatic hybrid genius. How much?

    That's lovely & lighter than an innova , i'd love a play with it but my elbows wouldn't anymore (probably wore them out with ten+ years of innova shooting)
