Anyone got a source for plans for making your own air rifle? Id
like to machine one. Just about any type. Think it would be a fun
project.

Something run or charged from CO2 welding tank might be fun.


I'm contemplating a *low energy* golfball cannon suitable for
decimating squirrel nests in a residential neighborhood. No plans
yet. There's a clear field of fire for a good 300 feet to the
south, with a 20' freeway sound wall behind it. I'm thinking max
altitude of maybe 200 feet, which is about 10 joules of muzzle
energy with a golfball.

Best not try this in Wisconsin in the presence of a game warden,
molesting squirrel nests, urban or rural, is verboten.

The Wisconsin squirrels (and feral cats) are safe from me.
