Making pcp air rifle: Guidance needed

Post by milind » Mon Sep 17, 2012 12:35 am

Dear all,

Being Mech. Engineer and gun lover I felt like making a pcp gun for fun. After experimenting with Soda bottle container and BB pallets now I think I can make a pcp gun with Co2 as charging gas. Its low pressure model is functioning good with manual hammer stroke. Planning to assemble everything in a gun shape.

I have a big doubt in my mind, if making such gun is illegal?
Can I make such guns to fire air rifle pellets and what caliber size is allowed as per law to fire with Air rifles?

All the senior and expert members are requested to share their valuable guidance.
(I will post photos and details about my gun after getting some replies just as precaution)

I can't help with the legality, so get that figured out but here is an interesting thread:

You need to get hold of this book:
"THE MODERN PNEUMATIC AIRGUN: A PRACTICAL STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO BUILDING YOUR OWN" by H. M. Buckley

Also look at this site:
http://airgundevelopment.com

Has detailed info on building a PCP.

Good luck!
