Masterclass challenge

[Brian the brain]

Hi guys...

I've started building my 6 year celebrational project to commemorate the first sawed-off shotgun that got me noticed on this site..
Finished date should be somewhere in December.

So far I think I can pull it off to make it look like it came from a shop.
No more fittings and pipe and duct tape to top it off...

This got me thinking...we have some members here who have shown professional work in the past..

Who's up for a challenge?
Building a cannon/airgun that looks like it was factory made?
Anything goes....

Im in the process of building my air rifle/pcp that's completely machined

mmmmm, just what i needed.
I was interested in making a coaxial out of machined aluminium, and mounting it onto a stock.
now i actually have an excuse to machine one at school.
this will take some time...... without my teacher noticing

I am heavily obsessed with the design of my new project and nothing will likely pry me off of it until its finished and has been fired. So, I don't know if it will look like it was factory made or not but I guess i'm up for the challenge since I am making a new cannon anyway. It will more than likely look like it was made by an obsessive spud freak who works at a machine shop.

Well even through I DON´T have access to any machines for now , but I belive that I can build a nice pcp rifle, I´m all ready working on it

not very fair for people that doesn´t have access to machines
and in this case the gun won´t demonstrate the building quality of the builder, as machines did all the work

As a recent entrant in the lathe/mill world, I can tell you that there is still a lot of work to be done!

Something like this??? Only factory pieces are the barrel and grip assembly.



Or ENTIRELY made?? Been wanting to start a new project soon anyways...think I can make a December deadline too.

Does a beautiful building not demonstrate the abilities of an architect simply because he didn't grab a hammer and make the building himself?

[mattyzip77]

Awwwww shizzznittt!!! If moonbogg is in, then Im out,lol!! His cannons are pretty darn sexy!!!

[Fnord]

I might be in, though it will be a challenge indeed.

[Lockednloaded]

This is a great idea, who cares if it's exclusive, so would a competition that only allows standard fittings though. It would be near impossible to make a fair competition that appeals to spudders all over the world with huge ranges of expertise, material, and tooling

[wyz2285]

hmmm, may be there should be another challenge for hand made pcps in that case I would be very interested indeed
