Folding air rifle

[Little Butch 16]

My mate's got a 60 year old BSA Meteor with cut down barrel for erm...Easy transporting.

It shoots a f*cking dream and Is proper accurate.

so long as the rifle is over (i think) twenty six inches with the stock folded its still counted as a rifle!, there was an artical in agw not long ago about folding guns, chap got a bsa ultra and fitted it into a folding stock for a .22 rim fire!

cheers

venom did one based on a webley exel

not a bad idea that. it would probably work with the ratty crossman

[paddy.t 5]

use a nice pistol

could you just cut the but off an old gun i mean it would ruin the gun

mabey a few inches off teh barrel too but that would affect the range accuracy alot

 

 

Was gonna sort B2 out and use that, maybe cut barrel down. What is the shortest i can cut the barrel realisticaly??

[Guest hyperion]

not alot! the shorter the barrel the more recoil, cut it to short and you could split the cylinder and/or the stock!

plus you need to recrown the barrel with a counter sink!

also the muzzel velocity will drop too!

lol sorry to disappoint old chap

 

there u go.......

 

Crowning a rifle barrel, in simplest terms, is shaping the muzzle so

the rifling's edge is protected from impact. Most factory barrels have

a round, convex-shaped crown from bore's edge to the barrel's outside

diameter. That's easy to make and finish, plus looking rather pleasing.

 

The accuracy part of the crown means the land and groove part of the

barrel must let the bullet's base exit evenly all the way around. When

this happens, gas escapes uniformly and evenly around the bullet's base.

If gas escapes unevenly (poor crown, even unsquare bullet bases), the

point of greatest gas release will push the bullet in the opposite

direction and tilt it. Tilted bullets leaving the barrel just don't

shoot straight; how far they move sideways depends on their velocity,

spin rate, and degree of tilt (or yaw, as it's sometimes called).

 

 

Spent 18 months in the REME armourers shop trying to transfer out of the infantry into a trade.... learned all kinds of interesting stuff

[Guest hyperion]

top stuff chap!

I used to have a T.D.R. It was a special from Venom, I sold it last year though. It had a folding stock and a removable barrel.

 

It was ok but i didn't use it enough.

You would be better off with a something like an HW45 than a cut down B2. Cutting any rifle barrel effects it's accuracy and as it's a B2 to begin with it sounds like you're trying to polish a turd.

 

Experiment by all means but the minute you get the hacksaw out there is no going back. You'd be much better off buying proper hunting gear than f*****g around with cut up pieces of Chinese steel.

That was what i was thinking, dads friend owns one! hell of a weapon whisper quiet, deadly accurate and a good poaching tool...some say
