After a very frustrating morning, I was finally able to get to the shop to work on the air rifles. I managed to get one of the rifles to fire by 8pm. On valve is leaking so have to work on that. Valves either work or leak and finding the perfect combination is tricky it seems. I realize now I should have made the valve a 2 piece design.
I worked on the triggers and sear. I had some springs but they are to weak and will have to get some heavier springs to make the trigger and sear engage more consistently.
Below is a video showing a few shots and first pellet shot. I will add to the web page when I can as I have many pictures to add from last 2 weeks of working on this project. The rubber bands are holding 1/8 drill bits in place to locate the trigger and sear and kept falling out otherwise.
Next few weeks will be focusing on the final machining and assembly as I can. Thus far a very mild fall here in Manitoba, but the snow and extreme cold are going to pounce on us very soon!
