Hello again, im full of final completion of guns today (im also fixing my coaxial). Well this is my BB sniper rifle. it shoots airsoft bbs for now but i am going to get a 1/4 brakeline for interchangeable barrels.. tell me what you think!!

Specs-
1. valve-1/4 detrol QEV
2. barrel-9/32 brakeline
3. chamber-11/4"x6" nipple

this thing is a blast to shoot!. it is so powerful. i was shooting in my basement and i shot through a cardboard box, through a thin peice of woods and then it hit my hot water heater and left a huge dent.. damage pics are coming soon!!

very nice. i would have used a piston for higher pressures though. I would also sujest barrel supports so it doesnt sg while you aim. you have inspired me to finaly get my bb gun running.
EDIT: what is that that chetah pattern your sitting on? a weird couch?

Wow man... thats gorgeous. I'ts so damn good to see someone made a bb rifle. Everyone makes those damn bb machines guns and I HATE em! I'm in the process of making a bb rifle aswell. I really can't wait untill I really get building. Where did you get your barrel though?? I'm having a lot of problem finding pipe that has an ID of 6mm for bb's...

Regards,

Mitch.

the trend continues... :cry:

Really nice bb rifle though! I like the all metal look youre going for off lately too. Im with Michza, I much prefer the rifles to BBMGs for some reason. More power and just classier I guess...

btw, love the couch :D

Ooo, my bad! Sorry for messing with The Chair :lol:

Yeah, I think I will build one once Im finished my current project (semi auto pbg: 85% complete) because they so awesome and their ammo is cheap. I must just find the size barrel to use in mm though.

Wow, thats freaking powerful. You may have seen the thread I posted, but I found a pen cartridge that fits 6mm brakeline so Im starting planning to build a rifle now I think. I just dont know where to buy brakeline though (I live in South Africa). What else fits 6mm BBs?
