Concept 4 – Buckley Design – First Shot !

 Concept 4 - Airgun Build, Updates  1 Response »

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!

Comments, please feel to tell me what you think. Thanks for visiting the website. ~ Pedro

I have been able to do some work on the Buckley inspired reservoir airguns I am building. I have finished machining the valves, hammer and now need to make the triggers and sear. Hoping to have this completed on Saturday Nov 6th and should be able to test fire shortly there after. I will update the pages next week when I get a chance.

Added a new page showing the assembly of the 2200 Magnum pumper. I gathered most of my parts to put this rifle back together and thought I should take some pictures as I did. Here you go….

Concept 4 – Buckley Reservoir Design Build

I was able to do more work on the rifles I am building this past Monday. I hope to do more later this week and will post the pictures I have taken at that time. I have mounted the valve body on the action block and now need to start on the inner workings of the action. The hammer, trigger, sear, bolt and valve parts need to built. Barrel is ready to be mounted and waiting till all parts are completed for firing before this is done. The tight fit between the barrel and action will help ensure accuracy and do not want to take out the barrel to often and ruin the fit.

I have created a page dedicated to the Crosman 2240. I invite anyone who wants to show off their 2240 and the mods they have done to contact me. Visit the page below for more information. Please encourage others to send pictures and their mods. I will create a page for each person that sends content. I will add pages on different subjects around the mods that can be done on this airgun as I get suggestions and content. Feel free to post a link in any forums.

Schaefer – Side Lever Airgun – More Pictures

Mr. Schaefer sent three more pictures of some changes he implemented to his side lever Buckler inspired rifle. An offset adaptor in the front allowed fora  600cc reservoir.  Schafer says he gets a lot of shots per fill.

Will try to get larger format pictures on Schaefer’s page 4 as soon as possible.

I am hoping to get going on more machining on the Concept 4 design. Possibly in the next two weeks might get some time, once the wedding anniversary is past.

Please feel free to contact or comment on any posts. Thanks ~ Pedro
