Close to the final layout, trying to keep this as light as possible.

I haven't seen previous updates, so I'm curious what caliber is it?

Awesome job

Hell yes! Looking good so far, I can't wait to see the progress on this, something that I've always had on the back burners myself.

Looking good! All I would change is a smaller chamber running at higher pressure for maximum performance in a compact package.

The only barrel I had left was 6.5mmID so I'm going to use 1/4" steel BBs, airsoft will be a bit sloppy but I might try that as well. :idea:

If it wasn't -18c outside (no heat in the workshop) I could plug in the trigger and try it without the grip :reindeer:
