Something like "Nautilus", but bit different still...? Exciting!by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Thanks! Jerry, I made quite alot to that 909 and almost everything, every changed thing -- other than longer smoothbore barrel -- is internal modification. I opened up transfer port all the way (to as large in diameter as it is possible to make). I drilled even the valvebody, or the hole in there, larger. I ground smoother the whole way where air goes, started from that valve body and from thby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Like some of you know, I have sam yang big bore 909S. I bought it last winter… and waited a good deal of time to get it in FIN. Well in the time when I waited I studied about airguns, their working mechanism, principles, what they could do or are capable to do. I learned that airguns are much more powerful than people usually believe they are, I learned that they (PCP´s) are very intereby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Carnivore is one of the best looking airguns in the first pictures, but unique and unbelievably good looking PCP with that anodized finish ... "Burl". That anodizing makes it The carnivore with which I'm familiar through pictures which I have seen.by sepeteus - Gary's Galleries
Well, it is truly beautiful, truly. It has been very pleasing to see that stock project along the way.by sepeteus - Gary's Galleries
I have new 4500 psi scuba tank and BSA Hill pump. Pumping is bit too much with a big bore, in general, but if I go to the woods (hiking with a gun) I often take the pump in a packbag.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
It's great spring time weather here, it feels like summer. Trees have acquired their leaves, those are still tiny and light green. Birds are singing day and night... and soon they sing 24/7 because we have nigthless nights in summer... I was shooting, testing new slugs (alone, no pics sorry)... Got new batch of slugs from friend, and have made several prototypes myself. I went to one old mby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hey All PCP shooter, There is one thing which which has bothered me, though not really bothered to the point of asking it, until now. Namely, do you guys keep your PCP's fully pressurized when not shooting it? When you are just keeping your guns in home waiting for the next shooting session, do you keep it under hard pressure, or just under some pressure? I'm thinking that often... and woby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
OK, THanks. That's enough to know... I was actually thinking that single tube 909 might be more powerful than twin tube because S has probably larger tube diameter of the reservoir and thus more room for firing valve, hammer etc... I'm not sure, but I suppose that the reservoir tube is slightly larger... Well, it could be something else too, of course. Does 909S, in fact, have larger tuby sepeteus - The Target Trophy Lodge
It's nice to see the flight of the slug, its traveling, indeed t is... I rarely see my slugs. I guess I have to shoot much heavier slugs to get the velocity enough low, or is it the size of the slug which makes it visible in shots like this?... Well, could one see the flight of the 45 caliber slug ever, I mean when shooting? I guess it is quite rarely seen, the flight of .45 caliber slug, orby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hey Neil, do you remember were those sam yangs equally powerful in the beginning? I mean, are/were twin tube and single tube both as powerful, or is/was one of those more powerful in original set up?by sepeteus - The Target Trophy Lodge
One enjoyable topic again. It is fun to see those shots... I check them over and over again. There is something INTRIGUING in watching that cloud of condensation and big slug taking its journey to the target... especially when knowing what happens when PCP gun is fired.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Great! Awesome shot, yes, with awesome smoothbore! I grew to like and understand smoothbores after reading about Woodsman, Justice and like air guns. Then I started to mode my sam yang... then we made smoothbore barrel to it, and now we are making special mold or molds to cast slugs for that barrel and gun. Interesting time...by sepeteus - Video Library

Wow! you have great collections of air guns. My collection: Tuned Sam Yang 909 big bore; it is cal .469 smooth bore; it has 30'' long bore to utilize air. I shoot shots and slugs with it... don't know exact fpe numbers but it eats air about twice in comparison to original set up.

Great Easter! Spent with friends and with our kids; we (me and my son) were out of the town, countryside... at my sister's place. We ate lamb and traditional Easter foods... Some big bore shooting too and kids had trampoline. We introduced big bore PCP airgun to a friend who is not familiar with powerful airguns. Our friend was very impressed! I showed how easily .45'' slug (300 grains) peneby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

Yes, helium (never oxygen)... it's a light gas. You know those light gas guns....? Speed of sound is much higher in helium, and thus it should be possible to reach enormous speeds with helium. There was some people who planned to use or apply helium to their PCP's. I haven't heard did they try anything after all. I wouldn't put helium in my airgun though (and especially don't want that anby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I've been searching facts concerning dynamite guns. What could have been their operating pressure like? I found out that vesuvius could shoot one and half nautical mile, but zalinski dynamite gun, a pneumatic coastal defence weapon could have fired a 15†shell weighing 966lbs over 4,500 yards. That's something! Picture is submarine holland firing its pneumatic gun. Look cloby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Very interesting topic... Well, I have really started listening my airguns recently; and only recently I have started hearing some difference between shots. Namely, there is some definite degree of difference between each shot of the one fill of the resevoir. I mean, first shot sounds bit different than second, and second sounds bit different than third... That sound of the number is clearestby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Like posters before me said technical questions and things... I like (very) large airguns which have special touch; just like Justice, Woodsman... Well, most of Barnes big bores are just like that. One gun which I really like too see here in forum topic is Nautilus.. fascinating PCP. This forum is great addition to usual airgun forums, because of great topics and friendly atmosphere.by sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
My seven years old son likes my airguns too! Actually I bought 25 caliber carbine (shin sung career) mostly to him; it's slightly easier to carry and point than heavier guns. That carbine is alwasy called his gun when we talk about our airguns... and dad could borrow the gun sometimes .

Well, this thread is especially good, because of Chief Justice (because of many reasons of course), but I got to say that I pretty much love the idea of Chief justice. Very large smooth bore airgun capable to shoot slugs accurately... and shots, darts and all such things. I hope that there will come more threads where the Chief Justice has special role inby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Good questions. I'm very interested in smoothbores and smoothbore projectiles... and right now I'm testing smoothbore in my recently modified samyang 909. I have put smooth caliber .469'' barrel it (mostly because of it's lenght, and am trying to find out what type of slug or what sort of single projectile could fly well from that barrel... must be stabilized somehow by the form of the projectileby sepeteus - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

I'm having 33'' long .47 smootbore in my tuned samyang 909... Today we shot shots containing 308 grains of .1376 round balls today (strange numbers 'cause we divided shots by grams and balls were in millimetters)...

I was shooting my 909S... I have tuned it quite some time, and finally it seems just about ready. Samy Ang (as I call her) makes nice hole to the 2 X 4 '' plank now with 215 grain slugs (which one friend casted to me).by sepeteus - I'm just sayin'
It's pretty neat see all that slow-motioned energy: collapsing and breaking of the slug when hitting the target, and of course that spinning of the target i the first movie.by sepeteus - Video Library
