Very nice!
The one thing to improve is to increase that pressure.

Wow some great craftsman ship there. Did you make all of the wood bits by hand. Try to pick out some nice stain for them(they do look good anyway though). Again great coaxial :D

edit: sorry for double post


The updates I made took out the t joint at the handle and put in a soldered t-joint, sanded and polished the gun and sprayed it with clear lacquer to keep the shine.

And some practice shots.

Looks really great Black!! Love the finish work there. You've got a unit there that should last you a lifetime if you take care of it.

It takes patience to complete a gun to this level...says something positive about the builder... :wink:
