Cool Hrawk, thanks for the info.  However, I think I'll leave this build alone and watch you other chaps have at it.

I did it. Works great, but a little awkward to hold and aim. May have to work on a bracket to old this more like  a pistol with a really, really long barrel.

@ superman365

i have a very similar air rifle "in process" but I have been distracted by the human breath powered kind but glad to hear of the performance of your air rifle.  Thanks for sharing it.

I'll post pics later maybe....it not real pretty and its my first so dont have high expectations...the point is that it works well

Why would you want to go to that much trouble? Why not just use an air rifle? My Beeman shoots over 1000 fps, and shoots either .17 cal, or .22 cal pellets (interchangeable barrels). It also shoots airgun darts.

i made something similar. it had a PVC pressure chamber that can be filled with a bike pump, and hooks up to a 40 cal or 50 cal depending on the *cough* duct tape *cough* adapter. shoots ome heavy darts pretty fast, but not that accurate. the trigger system is a blowgun valve.

I would not be surprised if some .625 tubes would fit inside a .68 paintball barrel. Cheap and more ergonomic.

In olden times there were even .625 paintball guns.
