Finally in production.
I've been extremely slammed with customer jobs for the past few months, even more than usual and one job was stressing me the hell out because it got alot of things, including making some intricate titanium parts for it and a new hammer out of 4140. I wasn't able to do much with my airgun stuff because I decided to focus on all of the big jobs I have and just work on them (in order recieved) until done. I finally got the big stuff done so now I'm making the big bore air pistols. They have some notable improvements now.
The pressure tube is a larger diameter which will allow me to make larger ports for larger calibers.
I figured out a way to make and incorporate a regulator which will give 3 to 4 consistent shots.
The new pressure tube will also allow a fill pressure of 4250psi.
I'm making them in 22, 25, 30, 357, 45, 50, 58 caliber.
Barrels will be interchangeable with a transfer port change.
They will have threaded muzzles and a pic rail for optics.
I started on another today, because I'm keeping my prototype and surprisingly got more than half of it done with alot of interruptions. For some reason I had a bunch of people in and out today. I can realistically make 1 air pistol a day now that I have dimensions for everything.
I also have alot of people awaiting the sale of them after I posted about them on a few facebook pages for airguns so I'm excited to finally be starting!

Congrats! I hope they are a commercial success for you.
Re: Finally in production.
What compressor are you using? A pcp of some flavor may be acquired next year.

Re: Finally in production.
This is the compressor I got. Looks like they're $269 at the moment. This thing has been fantastic and one could say that it's survived light abuse along the way, especially when I was building and testing my .50 rifle.

Never thought I would actually be interested in buying an airgun, but here we are... I'm enjoying your updates.

Re: Finally in production.
Probably the most time consuming parts to make, the valve and the pressure tank cap and fill.

Looks like the big dog in the air gun pack has arrived!

Re: Finally in production.
Yes. Keep the updates coming in 
Btw, what kind of issues are you having with posting a video?

Re: Finally in production.
It could be a software issue
the video file might be too big. You might have to go the link route. There's several sights that let you post videos for free.
Veed.IO for example.
https://www.veed.io/pricing. (Option 1 is free, up to 1 GB)
ImageBam is another free sight.
https://www.imagebam.com/ (click on the 3 horizontal bars in the upper right corner)
If you decide to go all-out commercial then YouTube or Vimeo would be good choices but, of course, they charge $$$$.
Try the free sites first, see if they work for you.
If you get your vids uploaded, post a link on here. If you're videos are too big just use a lower resolution until they're not so huge. Good luck and I want to see some of those airguns in action.
