looks good, simple design to. id say clean to but theres what looks like old black paint, so id say clean construction, and partially clean looking. I like how simple the breach loading is.

I like how you built the stock in with the blowgun/trigger right where it should be to use like a rifle trigger. Good job

Thats a little like my gun. See if you notice the extra performance with the modded valve. It makes a big difference.

Looks great! I'm guessing the barrel is 3/4" SCH-80? Find you some half-inch low-pressure, (type M), copper tubing if you wanna shoot marbles a little better. Just use a 5/8" OD compression x 1/2" NPT adapter to connect. This gives the barrel a little squeeze at the back to stop the marbles, (if you tighten it all the way). BTW, you have to use a ram-rod to load marbles this way! That's how good the fit is.

Nice gun you have there apart from the black paintjob

You should try fishing ball thingys thta you tie to your fishing line, they fit great in 3/4" pipe and are bloody destructive.
