I took the time to work on some pages to finish off the airgun project and show everyone the results. Still need to fine tune the rifles but they are fun to shoot and will be spending the summer doing that.

Concept 4 Page 9 http://airgundevelopment.com/concept4pg9.html

I have lots of pictures and didn’t both with the thumbnail as it is to much editing. I made all pictures 800X600 pixels so most can load fairly quickly.
About another 50 pictures coming along with the finshed pictures of the rifle.

Concept 4 Airgun & Fishing

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone had an enjoyable July 1st in Canada & July 4rth in the USA. I finally went to my parent’s fishing cabin which they have had for 5 years. Went for one day with wife, sister in law and her son. I caught the monster northern pike shown, 38.5″ & 14 lbs!! Not bad for not having gone fishing in two years.

My dad caught a 34″ and 9 year old nephew caught a 29.5″. He caught 6 total and was very happy for his second time fishing.

I am working on editing a hundred plus pictures of the Concept 4 air rifle. I should have some additional pages set up next week and will post an update here when I do. Shoots very well, .22 cal at 730 FPS with 1400 psi regulator!

Thanks for visiting! ~ Pedro

Hello Everyone,

I haven’t updated my pages in awhile and it is difficult to do in summer. Concept 4 air rifles are complete and I need to create 2 last pages high lighting the finishing work. Rifles shoot great and looking forward to target shooting with them. Getting 735 FPS currently with 1400 psi regulator.

Went fishing tonight with my nephew. He didn’t catch anything and I caught a small black crappie. Going to the lake Monday to my parents cabin.

Wishing everyone a great long weekend! Happy Canada Day!!

Hope everyone has enjoyed their long weekend in Canada and USA. Was nice not to have to work!

I added pictures of M. Cerdan’s latest build, an M16 CO2 powered replica air rifle.
As usual looks amazing! Check it out!

Still Working on Concept 4 Rifles…

Recently added a few pictures to Mr. Cerdan’s second page. I am trying to finish off all the wood parts for my own airguns and complete the build.

I will be adding more pages to the Concept 4 build to show the wood finishing along with polishing the parts. It has been a lot of work completing the rifles. Still need to source a second air tank and may even try an Air Force tank on it but will need to machine an adaptor.

Bear with me a few more weeks and I will get some pictures and web pages updated. Below are a few pictures of the wood so far, they are not stained it is a trick to see the grain and dries back to dull wood. It gives an idea how the finished wood will appear. Thanks for visiting.

Concept 4 – Buckley Reservior Build – Update April 12, 2012

Concept 4 - Airgun Build, Updates Comments Off

Apr 122012

Been working trying to complete my two airguns. Spent a few evenings and the Saturday two weeks ago making new valves and polishing up the aluminum and brass parts.

I had wanted to do a lot this last week but was out with the flu for most of it. Missed one day of work and suffered through the rest of it.

I machined the valves long ago and they never did seal properly with the design I used. Went back to a tapered design and now the valves seal really well. Valves hold air for a long time rather than only a day.

The grip was to thick and I ended up machining off a 1/4″ on the aluminum and thinning the grips to suit my hand. Could make the grip even smaller but want to start bigger and work my way down.

Hoping to do more sanding and do the rest of the wood work next week for the remaining rifle. Then try to finish the walnut with linseed oil, never used it before so will see how the wood will turn out. Hoping to have the rifles completed before summer starts.

Performed a chrony on the rifles and the design looks promising for .22 cal pellets. I need to tune them a little as they are very close to 500 FPS, and I think I can get 800 to 850 FPS out of them but will see what the 1400 PSI regulator allows. I may need to purchase the 2800 PSI regulator & tank combo. Having said that, I may or may not have to register the airguns with Fire Arms Canada pending on what happens to the long gun registry.

Heres a few pics… ~Pedro

Started working on my “Concept 4” to hopefully finish them off for summer. I need to finish off a few projects before I jump on to many more.

Did some work on the grips these evening. Last week I made the aluminum handle a little thinner. Still have to do more filing to make it feel better in my hands. Airgun is fairly light and should be fun to shoot when complete.

Here is a quick video firing two shots.

M. Cerdan – Newest Build – AR Style Rifle

Created a new page for M. Cerdan and his latest rifle. One of the nicest air rifles I have seen custom built. I am sure there are many more builders who do this type of quality work, but for a man in a small shop, simply amazing.

Update – March 2012 – December Boliva Trip – Back to Airguns

Updates 1 Response »

Mar 182012

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 –
~ Pedro

Hello Everyone,

Getting ready to travel tomorrow morning. I recently received a few pictures from M. Cerdan of Argentina regarding a new pistol he has developed and built. Looks really good. I will post these pictures when I return in the New Year.

Here is a teaser picture of his pistol, looks great!

Like to wish all airgundevelopment.com’s visitors a great holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Thanks to all of you who have emailed and complimented the website. I hope to do a lot more in 2012! ~Pedro
