Internal bling.
very nice. Are both piston and cylinder Titanium? It'll be good to hear how it shoots?

Stunning looking rifle Jono!!! Excellent job!
Is that Paul Short stage 4 titanium kit an alien artifact?!!!  That looks "out of this world"! You'll be shooting beyond the speed of light with that kit fitted! It'll probably sort out Vampires too!! I guess that was a wee bit expensive? But Top Shelf eh?! Great project.... |

The jeweled part is the visible section, the rest is less bling.. But i got a cool sticker too! I imagine the piston is titanium, the comp tube doesnt need to be.. It was chronoed at 11.6fpe before leaving UK so will be interesting to see where its at in the old 77 |

Thanks, it looks great installed with the jeweled finish in the breech area. Yes, it was expensive compared to some kits, about the price opf buying a cometa fusion... But when you consider that the piston is titanium, and its the complete internals including the compression tube with breech seal, piston, piston seal, piston liner, spring, spring guides and spare washers, the finishing etc, and the labour to make it all, prelubricate it so its a 'drop in' kit, and test its power before getting out the door, im ok with the price.. oh, and a sticker too.. Its installed now ands shooting 11.2ft lb, and its nice and smooth. Not super fast - 740fps-ish, but nice to shoot. |

Thanks, but im just putting together other folks bits so cant claim any of their kudos, but its coming together nicely. The CS stock is nice, the thumb up groove is really comfortable. They've been making stocks for a lot of the UK brands in the 80s and 90s (Theoben, Venom, Air Arms, etc), and their current offerings are still in that style which i like.

Well, she’s all together. Looking good, shooting smooth at 11.2fpe / 740fps.
Went to go get it sighted in roughly before taking to the range and the scopes out of elevation!! Bugger. Now just to get some adjustable mounts to try and get it nicely on paper!

Any updates?
What a very beautiful rifle you have made. Just lovely. Does it group up well? One question i need to ask you who know - for best accuracy, is it a good idea to keep power down to the Brits under 12 requirement or can springer shoot as straight with more power? |
