Looking forward to seeing your gun completed.  ;D Sure like to see a video of it in action when you get it finished.

this one is off the part I had machined...it's hooked to the quick disconnect on my pump...that end plug in the T fitting that you see will be drilled and threaded for my on the gun pressure gauge...

this one is just my gun...

Hopefully I can get at least a cell phone video for you all to drool over hahaha but GGDT wasn't kidding it's powerful...
 
this is also of my gun but it shows the cocking handle I put on the ball valve...that spring is rly heavy and it is impossible to cock it without that handle...

Looking really nice, what pressure are you using it at? How many strokes of the pump does it take to get to your operating pressure? Congrats on the girlfriend, hope everything works out for you all. Getting married to the best girl in the world is one of the greatest things you will ever do, I did so four years ago, and never regret it.  ;D

ok well im gonna try to answer every question I can but if I miss one feel free to ask again...ok first off, not sure how many pumps it takes to fill it haha... lets just say im pricing scuba tanks... filling it to 2,000psi not sure how accurate it is but when I had it hooked to co2 it would one hole at 30 yards so I would imagine it will not loose accuracy just gain range...as for power I don't have access to a chroni but I would say GGDT was right when it said about 1,000 fps with a 180gr bullet

counted how many strokes it takes to get my tank up to pressure...my tank is about 26cu.in. and it takes around 300 strokes to fill it to 2,000 psi...scope will be put on next week prolly monday so I will let you all know about accuracy and maybe post some target pics as well

Hey guys got my scope on and some what sighted in...gun does have some kick to it now on the first shot the scope hit me on my eye brow...lucky me no black eye...here's some pics

here's the scope just a 4x Tasco for now...

http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab102/pellethuntr/airgun/SAM_0236.jpg?t=1279321372

sorry about pic quality on this one it just wouldn't turn out but you get the idea those are .50 cal RB's not so round anymore...

http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab102/pellethuntr/airgun/SAM_0235.jpg?t=1279321372

and lastly here's is a chicken salad can I shot at about 10 yrds notice the bullet hit square on the side and went straight through the side if can...no ricocheting...after it went through that it buried itself about 2-2/12 in into a log the was right behind it...

http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab102/pellethuntr/airgun/SAM_0232.jpg?t=1279321372

So not bad so far more tests to come...I was thinking that we should all use the same exact target sometime and shoot it with our most powerful airgun to compare...IDK what we could all have access to shoot any ideas???
