an interesting hand made air rifle

[T 20]

I cannot see what the detent latch is supposed to do. it does not locate against any thing I can see. Then again I did not see a grassy knoll for the 2nd shooter.

I can't see what the piston is meant to do as the cocking lever slot extends from the breach to the trigger with no compression chamber.

I thought the second shooter was in the car park behind the grassy knoll ?

Why not just buy a standard SuperSport and save all that bamboo?

[Segata]

I sort of did, a Mate gave me one and it's bloody lovely.

I'm not convinced.

I'm not convinced.

Takes more than a pretty video to 'bamboozle the BBS'!

I'll get my coat.

Has Nick brought a kit out for it yet?

[TonyL]

I haven't viewed the video. Having read the above comments, maybe I'll not be bothering to........

The best bit is the noise when he pushes a pellet into the barrel.

What a load of old bollocks !

I doubt if a pellet would leave the barrel.



All the best Mick

I agree I don’t see how the piston makes compression and the wood screw for a breech bolt finished me off.

I'd bet Craig could hit the bucket with it!!!!!!!!!

[Shed tuner]

that is shite...

Only if he chuck it that far, Gary.

[isobar]

balsa wood piston rod???that;s going to hold the piston back

[Segata]

I thought it was more Bamboo but then that would be useless from the flex though I guess.

So alright this ones a fake but feasibly could a Rifle be bushcrafted and if so how effective cold it be made? Could be a fun experiment for someone who knows whats required to make it work.

Still rather have this than a Lightning
