Pkjeetesh,

Fantastic works Bro,

brihacharan, i might be wrong, but your barrel seems to have some deviation in upward direction, it is some effect in pic. As i ran into the same situation during my upgrade

Excellent engraving on stock, but i think you need to do us another favor, please take pics from decent camera and then please post the pics again, these pics are not doing justice to it.

pkjeetesh Bro
What a chome and what to say about stock.


Fantastic, It has again ignited my fire to continue what i had started

the rifle was degreased, surface ground and polished first.....then chromed to 10microns.....the whole thing should cost you about 350Rs....a couple of hours for the whole process...

Briha, do i envy you

PKJ, just passed in front of your house a few days back on the way to a friends place. I guess i missed something.
Will drop in one of these days. Oh boy !!!! need to get my hands on your IHP . Just a small clarification. Is she fitted with the two stage trigger LL and I saw?

Wonderful work both of you. I wish that one of you becomes a tuner and sells such a product. I would but it in a snatch. There is nothing better than a well tuned springer for most plinking, pesting. The hassle free nature of a springer is unbeatable. Now I have to go out and shoot my QB, you guys have reminded me that I haven't shot it in a while.

Keep up the good stuff.

Whoa now chaps - if you have it perfected - Congratulations

[pkjeetesh]

Thanks Dev.....and Yup mates....it is fitted with a two stage multi lever trigger with an adjustable sear engagement screw ....pity is, that the design does not belong to me and i really cannot divulge too many details right now....

and indeed Big Daddy you are missing some serious fun, you cannot just whizz past my house and not notice....

Excellent work Brihacharan garu - We finally get to see your much discussed IHP.

Lots of Patience, Hardwork & Skill. I'm sure the end product is sure worth all the effort.

I'm sure that your's is the only IHP in India which has a Laser engraving done on the stock. Do send us a close up - I'm sure all of us would appreciate it !

As an aside - ADIDAS could also be - All Day I Dream About Shooting !

Hey Jeetesh - Awesome Job & Great looking guns. May I add that the guns look & feel much better up front. So Pk - see what you can achieve when you skip a session of shooting. I'm sure just oiling the stock took the whole day !

Here is what the B35 did last Sunday -

@ 50 mtrs - kept knocking off a Del Monte can ( Coke cans are too damn easy ! ) There was just no missing the cans.

@ 75 mtrs - same story . Gun was rested.

Also it was very Modest ( for a valid reason ) of Jeetesh to NOT mention the Trigger till Big Daddy brought up the topic. Once the trigger settles in it sure is going to be fantastic ! ( btw BD - THESE are NOT the only guns that you are missing ! You have a whole lotta catching up to do )


PK - regarding turning into a pro-tuner , I'll second Dev's wish. All that is missing is a name for the prospective firm - the all important Skills, Insight & Equipment are all ready present in abundance. Only thing is that you need to make me the front man cos you'd be way too " accomodating " to make the enterprise financially viable !

at the End of the Day we ought to consider two issues - what are the original IHP parts remaining on Bricharan's gun and yours. How much money would anyone be willing spend on an IHP before it stops making sense ?

[pkjeetesh]

thanks and glad you liked the gun Luke......only receiver, stock, piston and barrel is IHP ......MORE TIME THAN MONEY FRIEND SPENT in making it look like that and shoot like that...

here is a picture of the gun i took at your farm....



not too bad results at 15m...7.87gr master shot flat heads (export Q)....740 fps with the JM XLR2 spring

Hi Guys,
> I must admit that once the 'tuning bug' bites you there is no end to 'make-overs'...
> The changes made are only limited by your imagination!
> As I had mentioned the trigger is the only part I couldn't convert to a 2 stage one .... am pursuing it - may be it'll see the light of the day soon.
> As PKJ rightly put it the only parts of the IHP that still remain are the barrel, receiver & the stock. Personally I fancy the contours of the Evanix PCP's stock, it looks gorgeous - but the cost to make one is around 5000K - almost the price of a new IHP!!! One never knows, I may become a sucker and go in for it.
> Am presently working on a front sight that can be fixed on to the muzzle break, to give the gun an aerodynamic look - have got a sample made myself out of wood - have to visit my machinist to get it made - fighting for time!
> Have acquired a laser sight, the size of a Fevistick tube! Haven't tried it yet...soon will.
> PKJ - the pic posted by you of your all chrome weapon is simply 'Awesome' - by the way I don't see any air vents in the muzzle break - how does it manage the air turbulence? just keen to know.
> Just keep posting the innovations guys - its a treat to read & see.

great work done. ihave an evanixar6 a monster for hunting but only if your marksmanship is in shape what use is isan evanix if iam not shooting well; you must go ahead with good work and give the indians agun like your modifiction also can apply for a manufacturing lic. even if it costs more than twenty th. you will be booked. forieghn guns are only good for competition grade.we indians just like to flaunt them. of late we tested in pistol shooting the.32 iof the results came out of the shooters skill and not the gun.here icannot mention details becase frinds will take to object making it public.

Briha....as long as the muzzle brake has more room in front of it allowing the exiting gas to expand, there should be no problem...mine is an HDPE composite muzzle brake almost flush with the face of the muzzle with an increased diameter hole....HW97, HW100, RWS54, 460, P31 etc., all have composite brakes without any airvents...no harm having vents, anyway.....

Hi Jeetesh,
> Tks for the prompt clarification - I stand educated.
> In my considered opinion, the 45* angled vents provide a better check on air turbulation, thus allowing the pellet to exit smoothly into the ambient atmosphere.
> As otherwise the rush of air behind the pellet would cause a tail lift, which could affect the flight path of the pellet (pitching & yawing) - this gyan came from a physicist friend of mine who used to work for BARC.
> By the way does your muzzle breaks contribute to the dampening of sound? In fact the side vents increase it!
> Keep the thread going pal - we are learning & that's good.
