honnesty the gun will prolly stay as and maybe swich to a qc over a shrader. a fiber optic sight is a definate no and maybe a air rifle scope. but most of my money is going to be saved right now for next gun. this time big bore, such as a .625in barrel
that 400psi and 6ft barrel is gonna make one hell of a gun
and if you wanna make some 1/4inch finned darts go right head, but im not gonna take the time to make something that small that might now last more than 1 shot.
also how would a dart be too much better than the commercial .22 pellets?

In terms of accuracy and muzzle energy, I doubt it would be much of a match. The advantage would be in sheer range and penetration, ue to better retained velocity, but in such a small calibre it's not really worhtwhile.

Well i guess im caught up in my project that i wan others to feel the joy of hitting long range targets. Btw my LRR (Long Range Rifle) will be built once im done with the prototype which im still testing.
Yeah, it's that important.
