Hi Jim, Actually - this is a different action. This is a "Fire THRU bolt" design. The Tundra is a bolt action. The placement of the parts are different, as well as the internals. This trigger block also prevents the normal pistol grip position of a modern bench rifle. It will be a beast of a long range gun though - no doubt.

Thanks, Got much of the hammer made today. Worked on the spring tube and guides. Also did more invisible stuff related to recoil resistance of the components. It's coming around. Did a bunch of office stuff today too. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Touched it yet? HA! Whenever Jerry comes over, he leaves about 30 thousandths of fingerprints on the parts - nothing fits until I clean them again! hahah. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
More parts coming together. The receiver is mounted, and the barrel threaded in. The trigger block is just temp in place. More finishing needed, and installation of the levers inside. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hello Wabbit, I've done that a number of times. One of the earliest guns ... in fact .... my first FT gun in 20 caliber, was internally regulated and adjustable from the outside without take down. I don't do it on a regular basis because of the maintenance issue. Regulators have moving O rings rather than just static rings. And, thus they don't like long periods of inactivity. They "stiby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
That being said, there's no way that this project is designed to be something that can be submerged in saltwater, and carried openly on a snowmobile expedition without effect. No airtight trigger block - no sealed internal hammer subset. I certainly hope that that is not the expectation. There are dozens of small springs, screws, trigger block levers, and firing components ... that will notby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Working on a couple of bolt handles this morning. Last night, I got to the point where I could install the firing valve, install the main tower, and install the intake valve/cap. I then pressurized the reservoir for the first time. Coming along. Slow stuff - details count. The back of the tube/frame is textured. Provides the eye some relief.

Hi Keith, Thanks very much. Regarding the private tutoring position .... ..... Ah .... I'd really love that Keith. Teach him 40+ years of skills ... Let me check ..... DARN!!! ....

OK. I understand. Which is why we have a stainless steel barrel, stainless steel reservoir/frame, and everything else is billet aluminum. Which is why I remain baffled by the underlaying current that I'm not playing along. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hi Lon, Yeah - it's really nice to see them enjoy something I've made for them. Regarding the stainless ... yes ... the first night I lathe turned stainless, I turned off the machine ... reached for a coil of swarf, barely tugged it at all, and sliced my finger ... extremely deep. The stuff is honest to goodness razor wire. Actually went to the emergency room that time (before my full blowby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hello Sean, See, there's the confusion. Whenever you mention the "weather" your rifle will be subject to, you use as an illustration ... the rusted out rocker panel of a car on Alaskan roads. I sort of figured you'd take a bit more care than that. Since it's been ordered that the smooth bore 62 barrel will be stainless. The reservoir/frame will be stainless, and everything else willby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

300 watt loading dock spot light. It will move into an amazing number of places from that location. Never have enough light on work. I took it down a year or two ago, to insulate and sheath that interior wall. Got it put back up only a few weeks ago after stumbling over it and squinting during it's absence. Good spot.

Nah ... what I fear is that ten thousand years from now ... archaeologists will find a crate, under a bed, with the screws still in the top of it. Note proudly proclaiming that the airgun inside is in "unfired condition". "Use 'em up first ... then hang 'em on the wall". You don't need the cryptonite crystal trigger bearings ....

Thank you Doug, I appreciate it. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Thank you Kent, I'll pass along your best wishes. Much appreciated. I've felt very privledged to make several rings for my family. Though it's a time issue ... it's what life is for. I try not to miss the important things. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hi Kent, I always wear my Gillie suit at the range. I sewed some old appliance parts into it too. Sometimes Jerry just turns around ... and I blend right in with the coffee maker ... the generator ... ya never know where I might be next. haha. But - I don't think that pig was lookin' at me. he was checking out the targets. "Now WHO left THIS here!!! Yeah - I'll have to toss this mby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I was honored, recently, to be asked to make the wedding rings for my Son and his wife. Kelly provided company and support late last evening as we finished a carved sterling silver ring for my Daughter-in-law, and then this morning, I finished a stainless steel band for my Son. Just a snap of the shop. Every square inch - three dimensionally - is used. Kelly snapped some picsby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I thought this was mildly humorous. This is the comment that Kent made when I showed the pics of this finished gun in Feb. 09. You'll note we've now seen far more shooting from it in this first video under Kent's watch, than in the previous 16 months.

Wow ... what a rush! hahaha. I had my sound all the way up too. First sip of coffee of the morning. One achy eyelid open. hahaha. Glad things are coming along with that gun. As I recall, the desire was to simulate the ballistics of 22LR that had been used for varmint removal. I'll look up the specs. I recall Jerry and I got five dead level shots at the range at above the target spby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Sure - you can mention all that stuff. So long as you aren't serious. Heck ... I'd love to have one too. The balsa wood I'd have to special order though. That's definitely OUT.by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

Everybody's gauges will be a bit different. I have no way of calibrating the various gauges. They're little $15 common production units - as are everyone else's gauges. No point in having some atomic clock version as nobody using my guns will. They're supposed to be made to industry standards. Should just be replaced more than they are. However; I did fix the pressure regulator today. Iby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Thanks Joe, That's right. Belvilles can be stacked cup to cup - or opposing, and in any number to get the resistance you need against the moving piston. The piston has a seal on it that contacts a seat, and cuts off the flow at a given psi. The air on the HP side bleeds thru a port in the piston to the firing chamber side. At a point where the the firing chamber side has enough psi to compby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
What do you guys know about bench regulators? I have one that's about 12 years old. It's been a good one. But - it's become undependable. I'm going to tear it down and see what's in there. Perhaps it will be intuitive and I can rebuild it. Have you heard of anyone that rebuilds the typical bench regs. that many of have been using over the last decade?
