Don’t know about you guys…. But with my ADHD brain, I always have to have a project, or three🤦‍♂️ to keep my brain focused😂

Currently I have Daystate Mk3 in pieces that I’m rebuilding
(Fecking thing🤦‍♂️) and am on with an AirForce One Trophy HPA conversion…….project🤔

….And I’ve got plans for a further x2 Custom Crosmans😍

So…. What project guns have you got on, would like to do, dreaming of or planning…..?
 
I recently got a couple of Auzzie piston seals for my Eclipse that needs doing.

Might need to get a new one for my 57 that I'm still struggling with getting any accuracy out of. Latest effort was to alter the cocking arm by taking a few mm off, then I added a PTFE strip. Will probably try adding a steel piston liner again too.

My TX has developed a ping that resonates in the trigger spring when the safety is clicked off, so that was greased up yesterday, jury is out to whither that'll last as it wasn't totally killed when I put it back in the stock. I'm hoping to shoot my club BR card on Sunday, so see how it goes then.

And I need to reseal the valve on an old Crossman 357 Six, and make a new gripset for it but that won't be soon.
 
I’d like to get my Xocet shooting nicely, the newness hasn’t worn off yet but it could do with a bit of a fettle and some better guides.

My 95 is currently a project, playing with spring and guides etc, trying to improve my consistency with it, sometimes I can put 3/4 pellets touching, next few shots I’m way off.

Got a .25 barrel I've been meaning to turn down to fit the stealth but I'm waiting to see if anything comes of the rumour that was floated about everything over .22 being made S1 :unsure:

Not herd anything about that?-------Did fancy having a go of putting a p15 cylinder onto a pp750 pistol mega shot count? --or converting a rat catcher to HPA
 
Got an Umarex Uzi with a bent barrel - caused by the trigger housing breaking (after 400shots) and flipping it up.
Solution might be a slap with a rubber mallet…
Contacted Umarex about 3 months ago, still no joy on a replacement trigger housing, god knows how much it would cost anyways. Ideal scenario would be a homemade steel replacement - but that ain’t with my skill set & available tools 🫢

Just waiting for another to pop-up for sale, mega cheap.

Other than that - thinking of a custom stock for my HW30k - minimal Tac styly 😆
 
All 3 of my rifles were running 11.3-11.4 fpe

Stripped the Cometa 1st, now 10.7
HW98 2nd, now 10.6

Next is the TX200US, presently at about 11.4, want about 10.6

Pondering a TBT short stroker kit
or WW or Vortek, still deciding?
 
I do have an old HW80 here that's definitely seen better days... In fact, I think it was originally left outside after being used to knock fence posts in with! 😉

Internally though, it's such a sweet and gentle rifle to shoot... It feels good, it sounds good and it shoots really well.

It's like someone took a Lada Riva body but stuck a Porsche engine under the bonnet. 😁

I'm thinking that the metalwork could be cerakoted and the stock either refinished or replaced with something a bit more snazzy.

It's been on my project list for over a year but I just never seem to get around to sorting it 🙂
 
On with a 97 at the minute
A whole new one on me, so looking forward to the challenge

First impressions are very good. Already making good progress with the tune
 
I've got the internals of my AP 900 to do, having done shroud with integrated mod and printed up my own design forend and butt hook.
Then there's getting the Empire XS tuned better know I know more than I did six months ago.
The Pretensis hadn't been touched yet, but that'll change.
And the 25mm bore and spring conversion for my BSA Lightning XL GRT that gets dug out every so often but was on hold while I completely rebuilt and modified my little Warco lathe.
And I so nearly bought a basket case AA S200 from auction the other day but then worked out the postage, fees etc. Still looking though...
Plus designing and building 3D printers, a motorbike project, the house, RC gliders...
 
Shot a m8,s hw95 .22 that was a delight to shoot. So like anybody else would do copy his recipe for a soft and gentle shooting 95, keeping my eyes open for a sensibly priced 95 missed out on 1 at swillington shooting store
 
Gathering parts for a Buck Rail PP750 👍

I have a HW100 in got in January off the forum which has seemed to develop huge pellet drop. Bought a chrono and its doing about 3.6ft lbs.

Il be checking the pellet loading area for leaks with a tissue and then looking at anything else I can check myself before I sell or take to a shop!

Nothing exciting and a pain in the ar3e!
