Carbon fibre lightweight pneumatic air rifle
With thanks to Robert, the extraordinary airgun-making wizard.
He says:
I am inspired by the vintage models of Crosman and Sharp, the shape is a bit of all of them but now I use high tech materials to drop down weight. I changed about 80% of the metal for carbon fibre. Because the rifle is recoilless the best [thing] is to get rid of weight. This model weighs just 1400 grams...
The rifle is not just made of carbon fiber, it is a composite. Brass cylinder, steel barrel both covered by a carbon sleeve. All pivot points are equipped with bronze bearings. Cedar stock to keep the weight low.
