I love the brass. That gun looks almost steampunk.

I like that SteamPunk description because it really seems to fit.

Yea, just fasten some cogs and gears to the exterior and maybe some small pipes and that'd be a nice little sidearm for a steam punk get up. It even uses compressed gas, which is the same thing that powers all the gadgets in the Steam Punk universe.

I thought it was just cool until I saw that it was self feeding, that is amazing  :-*

Post by: MichaelM on March 11, 2013, 10:00:47 PM
wow!! when I first looked at it I was thinking it used a similar simple self feeding setup like the IZH-61 the mags even look alot alike.... but instead of being a spring loaded setup its got some type of fancy mechanical indexing setup..... thats sweet!!... gonna go read that build thread lol!!!

We all would like an accessory like that without having to change out the breech.  Even something in plastic would be okay, for awhile.

That's what I like about the 760 and M4-177. Don't have to screw around as much with loading .177 pellets with a few clips. The slight downfall is that the seal isn't as good, probably since they're also made to shoot bb's. I wish they'd add an O-ring to the probe and do away with the BB's.

I started a breech that uses the same strip clips as the M417 and PM66 (and others), but as many of you know, finishing it has been a chore. I shot the idea over to Greg at Bluefork and he said he would look into it when he found a little time. I "think" he liked the idea. Looking at his standard square profile breech, I believe the mod could be done to them fairly quick with only a few extra machining operations and parts. So, maybe if he was serious about doing one, we may see that option in the future.

Well in just a few more months when you bite the big bullet and get out of the workforce and retire and set up your own shop you will have plenty of time between items on your wife's honey do list.  :D Honest...
