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