There is much more to the build on one of these PCP rifles then can easily be considered. With 45 years of experience, you’d still be amazed that ten hours just evaporates when confronting a list of steps.
For instance .... when I got finished a very precisely made component today ... I got to mark off “Front Barrel Clamp”. Owhhhhoooohhh!!! Think anybody said that? Doubt it. But consider ... with this “Barrel Clamp”, the Clamp NEVER TOUCHES the Barrel! The barrel is suspended in Viton O rings. Because a Barrel Clamp can easily warp a barrel out of round. It can produce a tremendous force. To rubber mount though, requires precise machining of interior O rings in an odd shape body. It all fit perfectly.
The barrel Breech slide fits perfectly. It will seal completely. And ... that Stuffer Chicken and baked tomato .... fit perfectly. And it gives an old guy moving thru a painful day, a target to look forward to.
Enjoy the pics. Thanks very much.
