Double trestle table..it's actually mango wood with an "antique cherry" stain of some sort.

With all the leaves in 108" x 44"...just the thing if you need to seat a shwack of kids/grandkids ...and have an overly strong distaste for particle board.

I presume, with the unseen finger slots, it makes the pumping real easy and pinch free.

all nice and shiny $:-\$ still need to go over the adjustments for the piston and trigger aswell as do some chrono work. but its in working condition now

oh and the front grip needs to be waxed to match the grips

Gorgous pistol $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ Those shiny grips look incredible I love them

What wax did you use?

Real nice looking build.

Jauvesst · May 11, 2015, 07:08:43 PM

the grips arrived in that condition from the maker. its a combination of oil, hand rubbed beeswax+turpentine mix and finished with melted beeswax as far as i know

edit: you can see in certain spots where the wax has started to get worn down from use. if i understand correctly i can simply heat it up to fix that

yeah i like it alot

its a good design and i suppose it doesnt hurt that its in walnut^^

did some chrono work last night and it seems to shoot fairly reliably around the 500 fps mark at 10 pumps with 10,34 grain JSB heavies. its not the pellet or the power i plan to shoot it at but im short on wadcutters in .177 right now to properly test with.

general idea was 400-450 fps with wadcutters on the lighter side for paperpunching at shorter ranges with as few pumps as possible

Always trying to make my first ever air pistol a better shooter, last night I decided to re-crown the barrel. I was never quite satisfied with its accuracy, and figured I had nothing to lose. You can imagine my surprise when shooting after the work last night, and again today, it's literally stacking pellets from 10 yds. with its stock barrel. I'm convinced that with a few after market parts and some trigger work, these are among the best values in the airgun market. Should've done this years ago.
