Airgun Development Blog

Hello Everyone,

It has been awhile since I have posted an update.
Had some holidays back in December and travelled to Bolivia, South America. We stayed there for 33 days. First 15 days we spent with my wife’s family and the remaining time we were in the city of Santa Cruz.

We have been back for two month and hardly feels like we have been gone. Here are few pictures of the trip.

Some various pictures of the country side and some farms. We took a lot of pictures, 3400 in total. Most are meaningless as you can take so many with digital cameras.

The average temperature was 35 celsius. Humidity average is 75% and after a rain and the sun coming out, the humidity was overwhelming.

My agenda/goals for 2012:

1) Need to finish the “Concept 4” Buckley inspired rifles before I start to many new projects.

2) Make the stock for the first “Modern Pneumatic Airgun” I built.

3) I am hoping to continue on the stainless 50 Cal barrels this year.

4) Build my own compressor or buy pending funds.

5) I want to work more with homemade pellets, see what will work best for my Condor.

Will see what the year has in store. Hoping to work less and do more shooting this summer. Thanks for reading –

Hello,
I created a site map so visitors can more easily find all the pages. I will edit the pages when I get a chance to.

I have been working on the Concept 4 Buckley rifle. Modifying the trigger to work better. WIll post the results when I get a chance as I haven’t had time to complete the testing and appearence.

Haven’t done as much with my projects as I wanted to. A few things were planned for vacation and then were changed. I am heading to South America for the month of December.

I was hoping to find someone from Bolivia who is into airguns but haven’t been able to yet. Hopefully I get a chance to make contact with someone when there. To bad I don’t read or write Spanish otherwise I would post on a spanish website.

I may not get much chance to post more, leaving in 3 weeks. Would like to wish all the visitors to my site a good holiday season!
Thanks, Pedro

After some weird occurance having been locked out of my website, I was able to get back in and update some pages with finished airgun pictures. Some very nice pictures for those of you who are building your own airguns. Enjoy! ~Pedro

I have another airgun build to add from a Canadian builder. I will try to get it posted in the next week.

Awhile ago I created this page. I was waiting to hear from Mr. Caron but he never contact me to proceed, so I am posting it at this time. It is a very well built, good looking rifle.

I personally haven’t done much with airguns in the last few months. Work has been demanding and providing some CAD drawings for clients.

I have done some shooting with my Airforce Condor. Fun rifle to shoot.

Some projects I am thinking about:

1) Have had a lot of ideas lately regarding making pellets for the Condor.

2) Been designing my own “Shoebox” Compressor and I hope to make one in a few months to try out.

3) Still need to finish off the Concept 3 – Buckley design airgun.

4) Posting more pictures from things on Russian Website, triggers, ideas related to airguns.

I have more things that I want to do, but again can only do so much at once.

Thanks for reading ~ Pedro

I updated the pages for Mr. G. He requested that I remove his name and country due to a possibility of trouble with his country. He sent me a few pictures.

Mr. G has a good design, based on Buckley’s design.
