Really interesting to watch that dance of work. Thanks.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
It's been a while I posted, but I have yet came and read topics every now and then... So I'm one of those lurkers who posts seldom 1) Either my Steyr LG 110 high power, or my 909 I cannot decide. Steyr taugh me to shoot the best and 909 taugh me how airguns work and behave when modified. Of course I have dismantled my steyr too, and investigated how its regulator and whole mechanism worksby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Well, I just wanted to show you what one European guy makes here. I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with Theo's work. He quotes Gary in "Jeder hait sein Hobby" page: This is the collection of his guns: I like them almost as much as Barnes guns (but I have to say that Barnes guns probably win 10-9, if compared).by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Artistic targets you have there, Kent! When you have guns which are functional art, you could not shoot whatever targets with those guns; you'll need targets which match with your gun, and those targets definitely do.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Great lookin' gun! Simply amazing that "twilight camo" finish, and .87 cal muzzle!by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
OOoh, that's something again.... I've had busy time but, well, but very glad to see tat all. Thanks Gary for showing us things like this.by sepeteus - Gary's Galleries
Hey all, I'll put the news to this thread because the idea topic is just the same. My friend made mold to new slug which we have planned and designed together... and he did cast few slugs for test. Today's test weren't as promising as those slugs look, but I'll get back to these and we'll see how will it be tomorrow or in near future...by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I'm planning to shoot darts (or dart-like slugs) with my airgun soon. They are not arrows, in fact, those would be much shorter than arrows and we have planned to make them out of lead like usual slugs. But what would be little similar, is that we planned to make finned slugs (fins would be in the end of slug and the front side would be like of any usual pointed slug). The idea came from bigby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
That's a gun I like VERY, VERY much. Excuse me, but how in earth could I buy it? And although it's not ready, I like its aesthetics (bit same as race car's rough beaty of approrpiateness).by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
That was exceptional Well, of course most of things shown here are exceptional, but that was sort of extraordinary... Sorry, I'm running out of words Great day you hadby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Well, all I can say is that I have had similar problem (there was NO slug at all to my gun's barrel). There are places which make and sell customs slugs to shotguns (mostly to firearm shotguns though), and there are places that make casting molds (and then you could cast your own slugs). For example, I have relatively accurate slug to my smoothie sam yang... and I could give you detailedby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
That Logun seem very accurate gun, it sure does fine job (and of course you are doing your part very well too).by sepeteus - Video Library
I love that long barreled Justice; it sure looks as powerful as it surely is. would that extra 5 inches cause some additional power too (or is it mainly cosmetic thing)? Impatiently waiting to see and read about field testing.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary wrote: "Right ... you can easily "finger nail" soft lead. Drag the thumb nail sideways (knife edge fashion) and see it you can cut it. If it's hard lead ... you will not engrave it with the finger nail." Well, I was using exactly that same method to identify appropriate lead, when I bought some more lead for my casting (I first got good soft lead from a good friend who have cby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Congrats Neil! Awesome shooting!by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Thanks for that very entertaining thread! Those videos and pics are awesome. Just came to my mind to ask about the video of the first 100 yards shot to a jug. I mean, do everybody see the same as I do??? There is something (is it perhaps the slug?) which goes straight up when the jug blows up, and then there's something (perhaps the same slug) coming down right in the very end of that video..by sepeteus - Video Library
Cute gun! That carving of primitive hunter looks three-dimensional. That photo makes me want to shoot the gun...by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Very good looking gun, dlalder... expecting it shoots well too.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Great! It's a pleasure to see such successful things... especially when that's done with big bore airguns!by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I finally post a picture of my strange sam yang 909... with some 60 yards groups or shootings (to prove some sort of accuracy of home made slugs through home made smoothbore barrel)... 405 fpe according american airguns calculator (300 grain slug and 780 fps); in Finland we usually speak about Joules (and it is well over 500 Joules)...With some heavier slug there would be even more fpe's, bby sepeteus - The Picture Gallery
It's good looking... I really like that hammer system and that barrel/resevoir binding, those clamps. And that new stock is better than the first one. Good numbers too.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
And because of the heading I want to make clear some points... These Korean airguns and Barnes Airguns are something which shouldn't even ever be compared (because they are so different), and from different worlds... In my opinion, Korean ones (with possibly some exeptions) are not even made ready before they are hastily shipped. Korean guns like samyang 909 are in best something which cby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
You certainly have Airguns to shoot and great place too!by sepeteus - Gary's Galleries
Hey all! Many thanks for those advices, Gary! I got small amount of tin and it seems to make great difference, although the percentage of tin is very low (probably less than 1%). Hehe, I'm relatively green/newbie in that bullet-making thing... or better: not relatively but completely (newbie) I don't know much about grading or other gratifying things... trying to group/put all simby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Was testing slugs today. The problem is lack of exactness in production phase. There are differences between slugs, and that is the current problem. Now from this moment I'd put all effort to improve the exactness of molds and the process of casting slugs... The basic shape of slugs is enough good now, or satisfying regarding purposes. I was testing those smaller slugs today very brieflyby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I have refined the mold (of the slug in picture) a bit and have one other mold (for heavier slug). That smaller slug weights quite exactly 300 grains and heavier one is 400 grains. I'm thinking new modifications and new possibilities all the time. I just don't have too sophisticated tools, but I'm trying to compensate the lack of fine machinery with interest and desire. My goal is, in theby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Thanks Gary! Smoothbore is interesting just because its great versatily! One could shoot shots, slugs, darts, and what ever through a smoothbore. Rifled bore is just for spinning one size bullets (though these are many of course ). But with smoothbore I could shoot a big bore airgun at almost everywhere, just because I could limit its shooting range to very short distances with tiny tiny shotby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, what sort of tool it is with which you carve metal? similar rotary pneumatic one as with wood...? I'm not familiar with that kind of work at all, though I'm interested in.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hey Dory, it is nearly 55" long, maybe 53 " exactly. I'd try to rememeber to check it... Planned to go hiking today, and will take the gun with me.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
