What do you mean?
The only thing it will have in common is the use of hardwood and the T-bolt.
Old Shat is a modified QEV based hammervalve actuated PCP
16mm caliber.This one is 10mm with a made-from-scratch never before seen counter balanced hammervalve as the only valve( apart form the checkvalve for the pump.
The ammo will be held by a mag , welded to the case, with the internals removable, spring fed.
The hammer on this one will be in the center, on Shat it is outside on the right like a flintlock with the mechanism housed in the wood stock. Single action only.The rod that transfers the force of the hammer to the valvestem is held in wood..
In this one all moving parts are metal, contained within the metal structure of the gun.
I'm going for both single action and double action.
( meaning it will fire when the trigger is pulled, cocking the hammer as it is depressed but also able to be hand-cocked and then trigger released.)
On top of that it will be cocked as the lever is operated.
Seems like a bit of overkill but I love the mechanics of it and
...I CAN!
It will also have a safety.
Old Shat is bolt action, this one will be lever action like a Winchester rifle.
Old Shat was built with a hacksaw and a pipethreading set.
This one with a lathe and a welder so far.
So yeah..they're not
exactly the same...
The trip to biker-land just revived me...I'm back with a vengeance!
My spudfever is at a high and this time I'm going for broke!
Hahahahaha
