Wow, that is intense. Hope it all works well for you. But be careful. Make sure you have good strong eyeglasses/protective eyeware, less you get a rupture/explosion and flying metal/plastic pieces.

Well, so much for putting it back in the original package lol I replaced the 7" barrel with the 24" and put the shoulder stock on,
and put the short barrel front sight back on the long barrel & still shoots dead on with open sights.
Next month or so I should at least have the new hammer & power adjuster. btw, that rifle in last post comes in 50cal as well.

Nice job. That looks like fun. Well, so much for putting it back in the original package lolI replaced the 7" barrel with the 24" and put the shoulder stock on,

Ok, next upgrade on the Stormrider Got a scope cam up and running.   1 1/4 to 1 1/4 slip pipe thingy, cell phone mount, and short piece of 1 1/4 pvc inside the coupler for the mount with a little tape on the end so it doesn't scratch the scope eyepiece. I think it will be as I've seen actual NV scopes with 810nm, we'll see I guess, but I have a backup scope clamp to fit an irLaser if I need to   I brought home 7 baby bunnies to raise a couple seasons ago and by luck one ran into the yard tonight to help me test the pics and video lol 2nd image here I just got the scope clamp for my 850nm irFlashlight today...now I can test the nightvision tonight! I can't believe how close up this gets.   The scope also has red and green L.E.D. lighting for lowlight and I was futzing with it a little in the video. Only cheap cell phones don't have the ir filters to see irLight, going to test that tonight if I get the chance. |

RedRockI think you said you had a Sheridan, but Bill just released some dissasembly instruction videos for the Benjamin PCP I think Discovery rifle if it helps with any repairs, cleaning or what not for you. Good do's and don't in these videos and I had a question and he told me he had actually just posted these on the site. Mr Bill has been very nice & helpful through my quest for custom happiness  www.magnumairpower.com/videos.htmlMy next set of parts is coming Thursday...Had all the rest and got everything apart and got stopped by 3 flippin' screws lol So ordered those and wife was nice and gave me funds to get a custom breech with scope mount in it instead of plastic original in same order. MUHAHAHAHA, getting close to awesome time

EESH, what a mess lol ok, here's what a 66$ CO2 pistol looks like......after turning it into a high end performance pellet gun. Fill Port & PSi Gauge connected to airtube  Aluminum Power adjuster on rear, Nickel Plated cocking lever with Stainless bolt, Custom steel breech.
Old scope I threw on, looks cool in Chrome touches Still want to do more to it, Nothing sighted in yet, but LOUD as all get out at full power, like air canon loud, scared the hell outta me & the wife in the other room lol
But turn it down low and very backyard friendly.
What would look better, a polished silver color trigger, or red powder coated trigger?

Stay with the silver, especially a wide trigger with grooves.

Well it's winter and getting around doing some upgrades to the crosman 2240 custom. Just found the aluminum tube I need for barrel shroud, but also, working on nightvision now lol Have a few, but waiting on the rest muwahahahahaha....    IDK if you can fit together in your head what I'm concocting together here but, A quick note on the Infrared light, that is a 67mm lens btw, and it's pretty dang big! If this turns out the way I want, I should be able to remove from one air rifle to another without any issues other than aligning the scope cam. That dashcam has 3 camera input on it so I could probly do more to it with a little rewiring in other cameras if I need to.... like a back of the head cam so big foot doesn't come up from behind Probly look into a stock pouch instead of the velcro though .... A nice vid for your viewing pleasure lol |

Nice shooting. Looks very effective. What is the actual range for most of those?
The green laser illuminator in combo with a regular rifle scope has been heralded as the poor man's night scope. I've seen it advocated and sold for AR-15 and other hunting rifles for use for pigs at night at 1-200 yards.

Ya know, he doesn't say what gun he's using in the video, but it is a pcp high power air rifle.
My brown rifle, above with the phone on the scope for testing as a scope cam is a Diana Stormrider.
The stats for it from website says 900 FPS, but I can't help but think it might be a little higher
as when I took it to my cousins house last winter let him pop off a few rounds at night, I heard it
make a super sonic crack I thought, which would put it in the 1100 FPS range, but it could have just
been the air from the gun and the way it echo'd.
Here's a shot at 100 yards and still seems to have some power!
In that rat video, I'd say he's probly 25-30 ft away. But could be 50 I guess...see my test pic of
the rabbit above. That's at 53 feet, but I guess it could be higher.
This will give you an idea of what I'm building plus give some range examples.

Ah, was reading the comments of rat video. He's using a Daystate Airwolf in .22 Apparently it's a very high TECH, quality air rifle from the U.K. 95 shots on a tank roughly, and at roughly 790 FPS and 10 rnd mag and apparently a set of keys to turn it on and off lol Airguns of Arizona sells them, but are out of stock. It's waaaay out of my price range for what it can do. however it seems to be VERY quiet stock out of the box. scroll down to see a list of what the electronic do. www.airgunsofarizona.com/Daystate/AirWolfMCT.htmThe more I look at it, and what it can do, it's neat and all, but still out of my price range and reminds me of all these new cars with all the electronic crap in them that breaks and then the whole car wont run right |

Just got here today...the wait is over, YAY!
Seems hard to find in North America, but after a great deal of searching, found one in Canada
Version - Artermis PP700S-A Single shot .177 PCP match pistol
Coming from Canada it's turned down to around 500fps but is capable of the 700fps range
Turning it up to full power you should consider these nifty attachments and the adapter The stock option is separate. Comes with extra o-rings, fill probe and another doodad....I think it's a wrench for the gauge, not sure but I sent him a msg about it
If you can look past the bits of packing styro still stuck to it, I snapped some pics of my latest prize acquisition. Ignor the purple pvc glue on the freezer too haha
With the setting it's on out of the box, it's pretty darn quiet and you know how dead silent it is with a blanket of snow on the ground.
    On the stock, just move the lock down, and it folds   video shows with and without attachments lol
shooting starts at :44
