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

That's what I'm talking about!

Moonbogg....come on...

mmmmm, just what i needed.

Me too!

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?

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

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

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

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