Anti materiel rifles usually aren't that difficult to model given their function driven shape.

Have a look at the Leader 50: http://olegvolk.net/blog/2012/01/07/jus ... the-range/

The body is basically an aluminum extrusion.

Thanks for the link it is a pretty simple design for a rifle. And not a overly big rifle.

I like bullpup style rifles just waiting on my pneumatic parts to be delivered so I can get a ruff idea of dimensions

Just designing a bolt for it now shouldn't be to hard only has to travel just over 6 mm

Also this is the qev I brought,
But the listing tells me its 1/4 but the measurements in the pic make no sense!

Ideally I want to reduce the exhaust port but don't know the size 18mm is 45/64 or is it meant to be 5/8?

Yeah, the thread sizes are pretty weird. I'm guessing the 18mm dimension is actually 1/2" BSP.

Because of it being a bull pup design if I have the qev at the front of the rifle and lead 6mm pipe from qev to the back of the rifle would there be a problem as it would reduce pressure behind the bb?

The guy is pretty well known in airsoft, bit hard to replicate his results without proper machine tools though. I think what you should be aspiring to is this guy: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012 ... -scissors/
