I finally was able to get a start on my 50 Caliber airgun barrels. Please visit the page link below to get more information. I still have to size the actual inside bore and rifle it, but the material I bought had firstly need to be down sized and I found a way to do it!

It will take me awhile to finish this project, so visit back! ~ Pedro
I ordered a new 13 cu inch airtank with 1400 PSI regulator this evening. After spending time looking for the first one and waiting a little extra incase it would show up, ordered new. I misplaced the first one moving my office to my home.
I am looking at continuing with the Concept 4 airgun this month so that by end of the year it is complete. Sounding like I may have two weeks off over Christmas so would like to have all the parts ready to assemble and test the concept.
Be updating the Concept 4 pages once I get started.

I did a little searching and there is a another gun show December 12-13, 2009, at the Keystone Centre, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. It is a 2 hour drive for me so I will be checking it out!
There isn’t much information posted on the site but perhaps Keystone Centre could provide more if required.

The webmaster of the airgunsmith.com emailed asking if they could add my site to their pages. I am honoured to be linked to their site. There is a lot of useful airgun information on their site for builders, and enthusiasts. Please check out their pages!
Please feel free to comment on this site or to email me regarding airgun related topics.

I went to my first ever Gun & Hobby Show Saturday. The show was held in Carman, Manitoba. Was a small gathering of 20 vendors. Most rifles were high-power and saw three airguns. A 1924 Crossman (should have bought it) but do not know what these airguns are worth. I saw a Vostok break barrel exactly like the one I bought (and still have) when I was 16. I may get into a high power rifle next year. I am told that the Remington 700 model series is a good all around rifle and that it can easily be changed to different calibers. But have to learn more before investing $650 to $1495 like the asking price for the ones at the show.
Concept 4 Project
I haven’t done to much with airguns in the last two months as my posts reflect the inactivity. I was really hoping to do more, but I still have not found my airtanks and some parts for the CONCEPT 4 air rifle on my pages. I will have to order a new tank and regulator soon so I can work on the air rifle over winter. I have been approached by two different companies, individuals about building either molds or a machine to manufacture pellets. Still looking into this and will post more when they allow me to do so.
Progress at Work
The company that I am currently employed with fulltime has had a few set backs. Their new manufacturing facility and office is taking much longer, already 2 months behind. Expecting early January and then a rush to get into production. The new main shop will be 100′ x 120′ with a crane the span of the 120′. I have attached two pictures for interests sake.
Slowly making head way. Will be 12,000 sq.ft. when complete. Looking forward to being able to hopefully use the shop on my spare time for personal projects such as airguns. Currently looking at starting a second division for tool & die work at their other location.
I hope to get back into airguns but life seems to be pulling in many directions currently. I will post as I can. Feel free to comment or email myself – airgundevelopment@hotmail.com – Thanks, Pedro
