After 3 years of intermittent fettling and the shedding of much blood, sweat and tears I have today finished my No 4. Made from the abomination that was a Well MB03 VSR10 mutant - ("clone" would not be appropriate), and mostly hand filed / carved from mild steel and epoxy metal filler.

Thanks chaps.

Unfortunately it is shooting at 415 fps wih the hop off! Last time I chronoed it (same chrono), prior to doing the last of the cosmetic stuff, it was at 340ish fps. Time for a tweak.

Anyway, that's sorted now, but I am getting the occasional BB going the wrong way in the hop unit, getting drawn in to the receiver and then stopping the piston from properly going forward.

That, my man, is a thing of beauty. It might have taken 3 years to build, but it was certainly worth it. Superb work.

That looks very nice. Good job. And nice banjo :) I've just been fixing one up this weekend.

Thank you. Now the gun is finished I will be getting back to the banjo practice. :rocker: (Chommers, can we have a smiley picking a banjo?)

I think the problem with the BBs going back in to the receiver was to do with the mag feed, particularly a dodgy old mag I had. I stopped using it and it only happened once all day in the field on Saturday at "Eagles". Nothing broke and I even shot some people. :D
