PCP Another member to the family...... :D

[Woogie_man]

Well my new rifle has shown up, and sadly the stock was broken in shipment. So working with the seller to get something from UPS to see what happens. But in the mean time here is a picture of the new rifle with the others in the family.

The RAW HM1000x in 22 that I make the Corbin slugs for..... and she is a darn laser!
Then is the Rapid MKii that I just picked up a .177, .22, and a .25 barrel. Going to set it up for a quasi FT rifle for plinking and positional shooting mostly
Then comes the Dawson Rapid in a .25. This rifle is a great handmade rifle and it hits like a dump truck
Then is the new guy to the family..... the Theoben MFR in 22 caliber. This one was modified and tuned by AZ and then sent to Martin for a new barrel. This is the rifle with the broken stock sadly. Though the break is nice and clean so I should be able to repair it and you won't be able to see the split.

Overall I think I have an issue, though I do enjoy these rifles. The ease to work on, tune and everything else. These guns just work!

Heck I wouldn't mind getting rid of all my other rifles and just get more Theoben rifles



Didn't realize my camera was dirty when I took the picture....... and the sun is nuts. Sorry about that

Working on changing over the 22 MKii into a 177 target plinker.

Was able to get a barrel from Motorhead, and am getting things back together. Still waiting to hear if usps is going to pay for the stock damage, or if I am just on my own.

Rifle has been taken apart and swapped over to a .177 rifle.

I am working right now on a single shot loader for the rifle. Being as I don't have a magazine and I am only planning on plinking with the gun. Need to tune and see what the velocities are, and get some groupings as well.

Tomorrow I should be getting some rail sections that I am going to take to the mill and cut out the slot on the Theoben. So I can add some picatinny rail to the rifles and have more scope options. Would like to put the Zulus on the MFR and use that as a bunny buster

A single shot loader for the rifle has been made. A few tries to get things dialed in, but really quick and painless!

And MUCH cheaper than buying one....lol




The three versions. 1st one was a test for fitment. Things fit just fine, except the probe didn't close, and the 177 pellet didn't fit through the opening.

Second try worked great except it was really fiddly to get a pellet loaded.

Third was the final and works great. Still nice and tight in the reciever, and easier to put a pellet into the rifle.


Overall this 3d printer is a great addition to the armory!

Staying after work today to mill up some pic rails for the rifles. Wish these were more common and not so stupid expensive!

 

[Woogie_man]

Here are the finals for the 177 rifle. Could have cut the rails apart, but wanted to do them the same.

Starting work on the 22 MFR now.

Just got done working on a picatinny rail in Fusion 360. Printing out a test part. If it works will end up printing again with 90-100% infill to make it solid. Hopefully this will work and will be MUCH easier to modify and make as compared to machining premade rail sections.

Sir you are a very skilled and talented man. Do you make parts for other people? Just curious

Depends on the part. Message me what you are thinking and I will let you know.

The rail section is done. The m5 screws are tight, so will make adjustments to that. Other than that things look good.

Between this project and my plastic baits it has been busy

 

[Woogie_man]

Final product!




Had me thinking of making a custom mount for the DNT Zulus as well....hmmm

 

[Woogie_man]

First prototype was made for the DNT and it looked great! Everything lined up and fit was good. So added a little bit more, and upped the infill to make the rail as solid as possible. Now on the printer and will be done in the middle of the night. So should be able to get installed here tomorrow when I get home from work.

This will allow the Zulus to be lower to the bore and not in the way of the magazine. The downside is that with the Eaglevision mount I was able to zero the mount to the optic, now I will have to zero the optic and hopefully not have the crosshairs way down at the bottom of the field of view. Guess I will find out here tomorrow evening sometime.

 

[Woogie_man]

And done.

Fits up nice, not to much if any flex. Though I may try and work on one that matches the rear of the reciever.
