That is a brilliant design!

Being I'm about ready to built a new shooting table I'll send you my e-mail address.

I have already thought up a few things to make it even better!

And as a side note. I had the chance to go out side yesterday and shoot the .357 and .30 Evanix Rifles after a LONG Winter.
There is nothing like a nice shooting session to really calm your nerves!

Had a HW100 and a QB78 which a friend of mine made custom barrels and internals.

QB78 uses the 12.5g CO2 cartridges before the mod I was getting 6.5ftlb and around 110 shots before having to change the CO2 caplets
After the mod I was down to 45/50 decent shots by pumping out 10.5/11ftlbs

The HW100 I used to charge that with a scuba diving bottle much easier than the stirrup pump.

A TIP.

DO NOT RUN ALL THE AIR OUT OF YOUR GUN!

Not sure how the BSA would handle it but......

All the Guns I have need to be high pressure 'Shocked' if they are run too low on air pressure.

I have a SCUBA tank at 3000 PSI I use to seat the valve with a quick blast of air.

Just noticed the spelling error in the thread title so have edited it from 'Riffles' to 'Rifles'

An off topic comment to Jims post ^

Made a search 'cause it would be interesting to know difference between rifle and riffle

Here is what I found

Quote:
Since a rifle is a gun and someone might use a gun in a robbery, your Quick and Dirty Tip is to remember that to rifle is to ransack a place while looking for something to steal, and “riffle” is the nicer word that means to flip through or shuffle things
End of an off topic...

My Shooting table is finished due to price of wood going through the roof in limeyville went for a minimalist approach with locking spring loaded hinges just got to apply grey undercoat to the legs then apply grey satin then apply stain and varnish to plywood

I've just heard on the news that a school in the Durham area was broken into and all that was stolen was a classroom desk
