Thank you. I got a bit more done to it today. Made that rear connecting section and cocking knob. Still need to 3d print a barrel band and sights.

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

That is awesome. Are you thinking of trying a rifle build of any sort off this design?

I rarely say this but, I am thoroughly impressed, and cannot wait to see what is next. Very cool!

Very cool π That is a lot of power compared to most of the off the shelf offerings out there.
I've been thinking of picking up a 45 or 50 of some stripe to try for some OOS deer hunting, but that is a lot of salt for me to choke down for something I'd probably only use a few days a year. I really like the look of the Seneca claw series rifles, but they just don't have enough giddyup.

I recommend the Umarex Hammer. It's very powerful and doesn't completely break the bank. It also gives you a 2 shot mag and a total of 4 shots on a charge. I bought one and that's what made me want to see if I could build my own to beat it and built the one posted above.

That's cool, let me know if you want me to cast you up and powder coat some bullets to try in it. I have a few different. 358 molds and sizers from .355 up to .360 in .001" increments. I can't sell them but I can give them away. I have a 148g full wadcutter that's pretty accurate and hits hard. They look like little soup cans with the tumble lube grooves.
