Not being able to throw anything useful away I have a plan already for another 6mm BB launcher.
Born from the ashes of the old sniper, (barrel, scope & bipod went to the Far2017)
The Phoenix 2018, 250mm barrel with 300mm extension, probably removable stock as well.

Now you can see how it all fits together, the white 1" PVC is the start of the chamber.

Not going to have great power as it uses a pressure washer trigger, so relatively low flow, and lots of dead space. But will hopefully look good and will take a 20+ round magazine, pop cans look out

Yes, single shot, 6mm barrel for airsoft or BB's. Self loading bolt action I guess you would call it. The same idea as the FAR2017, but manual operation.
This is a shooting test I did, it can fire pretty quickly
