hello everyone ive never made an air rifle and looking to try my hand at it. so i saw a way to make a qev valve so i think ill use that as the triggering mechanic if there is a better way for a trigger plz let me know. now im looking to fire a 3/8 steel ball baring and found tubing for the barrel now is a longer barrel better if so is 4 feet good? as for a tank im lost i would like it not to have to use co2 i would like it to use a bike pump or something like pcp rifles use to fill there tanks but like i said im lost on how to do that so adive on this would be very helpful. if this works out i plan on making a wooden stock for it and any help i can get would be awesome and i can make blueprints once i figure everything out. the look and insperation i got this idea from was the ww2 partisans air rifle and for some reason a musket i want it to be like a muli shot air musket.

You already have the basic idea and know what you need to make it happen. You have to choose what you want to make it from. Your idea on a blue print is a very good place to start the build. Be sure to add a material list of the parts you have and have access to. Know what you have to work with, not what you want to work with that's important for a good build.

well i was thinking of using a old paintball tank but convert it like how ham machine did with the fire extinguisher but dont know what kind of tip to use to hook up a bike pump. and BTB that was awesome i doubt mine will look that cool but that was a good video makes me want to really try and finish this project instead of putting in my half done pile of projects
