I'm a UK based professional rifle stock builder. Nowdays I mainly work on Airguns for the majority of the target disciplines and hope in time to compile a channel that will be a good resource for those of you who have an interest in the related woodwork.
I'm also a keen fisherman, so will cover some of the custom bits I make and maybe if I'm lucky catch some fish,on film on my own gear.

How to build extreme reactive air rifle targets.... Engage safety squints!
The best air rifle plinking target I've ever built!
Here im building a long range air rifle practice target. you wont miss this one when you get a direct hit.
The blanks are the old hilti nailer blanks in .27 rimfire calibre . its fair to say i got a bit more than i bargained for with these. they are great fun and easy to make. When we get a break in the wind i will push this one out to the longer ranges as it will be a very challenging target in the wind.
i also look at how dangerous blank firers really are with a test against the safety glasses, which im pleased to say passed the test with flying colours!
The rifle im using is a prototype of the new air arms xti50 alu chassis and the scope is the new falcon optics s40i endura ffp. a really nice setup actually that im currently using for some local benchrest competitions.

We use to use the 6mm starter pistol blanks a few years ago, they go with a bang as well
I think the problem you had with the blow back/ricochet was you compromised the base of the cartridge and allowed the blast to blow towards you. If you could make a rig with a small plate to shoot at that would have a pin to impact the rim of the cartridge it would detonate safely. and the force of the blast would travel away from you.
I stuck some of these to a little wooden toy boat and shot it in stream very entertaining
This was really fun and a nice change from what we all tend to do, being serious with paper targets 👍
Takes me back about 40 years ,we had great fun with the black ones.
I reckon the hilti is about 40 years old.. 🫣 Got to be pretty old now with the imperial threaded nails🤔
tad risky yes . but oh so much fun . although it really does emphasise safety specs . they took a full on hit there but that would have definitely saved an eye for sure . not just in close range air gunning but in anything one is doing were they is any chance of flying debris
So much fun mate, I'm gutted I got a bit complacent though. I could have edited all that out but it's a good reminder for all of us eh...😉
Fun but a bit sketchy, I’ve had the primer/pellet come back and hit me in hand doing this. Shooting at around 25yds it hit between trigger finger and my thumb, whilst still on the rifle, not got the minerals for anything but paper and knockdowns now 😜, keep the vids coming look forward to the next one.
Yep definitely a bit sketchy.. I could have easily edited that all out, but it's a good reminder to all of us not to be complacent eh...😉
Very impressed with Screwfix's cheapest safety glasses! That was good fun. Thanks for posting.
When i was a child my friend took a shot gun shell and wedge it in a tree so he could shoot the primer with a BB gun. When he did the BB hit the primer and came back at him and shoot his eye out. So I am concerned you target set up may be unsafe especially it hard lead, od pellets it BB heads, polymer tips. So be careful on what you use. What about leaving the blank sheel out a try shooting through the hole.
Love the way you look after your Workmate!
I fished a pair of them out the scrap pile a few years back😆 they're well knackered farm ones now😉
Never like the Festool made fence for this router. They were well aware that it is poorly designed (and cheaply made), and finally came up with a new edge that can be installed either side.
I use this router more than all the rest nowdays, shame the factory fence was so poor but overall it's just perfect for the medium duty work. I wish I'd made the jump sooner. I've got the 1/2 version too since.. 😀
GREAT VID MATE .
Cheers mate 😉
Nice target 👍 I made one using 12 gauge blanks (20+ years ago) unfortunately unless your in the middle of nowhere you’d get complaints at best Or the swat team coming around for a coffee and biscuits at 3 am the next morning, looking for your firearms 😂😂 😊 Nice target all the same 😊👍
Luckily I'm in the middle of nowhere ISH.. 😆
Have you been binge watching Airgun Sniper Elite's video's????🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
To be fair I had planned this one months ago,but the farm had all the grass up and it was like a tinder box so waited until the winter set in and everything is wet 😉
Brilliant target IV did something similar, I used a wheel bolt. Cut the top bit off and turned it so i had a firing pin then drilled the rest off the bolt for the blank for the hinge link of motor bike chain and a couple spots of weld. It definitely doesn't throw anything back at you target's that react are so fun
I definitely need to look at some safety upgrades for this, maybe some parts from the hilti can be used so there's no chance of ricochet🤔
Excellent Sunday morning hilarity !! 🤣
Could you tell I was peed off being complacent with myself 😬
A😘💕👍👍
If you have no use for the nail gun, could you have removed the cartridge chamber from it to fit into the target and then installed the blanks into that. Might even be possible to retain the firing mechanism so there is no danger of anything coming back at you. The power in these nailer cartridges, probably exceeds the impact energy of the pellet, so could well get debris flying backwards. We use .44 caliber in our cable spiking guns and they will easily force the spike completely through the cables.
Yeah I think I'll strip the hilti and see what parts I can use, I love the crack of the cartridges but need to improve it's safety a fair bit. Maybe a barrel and striker affair would mitigate any ricochets...🤔
Mate had a bought target but digging out the spent blanks was a pain
Did you get any ricochets off it? I reckon it was the pellet being spat back at a rate of knots...
@ not that we were aware of as we shoot on an open back range, good fun but as I said a pain to remove, I think a thicker plate that stops them splaying would work. Another fun video.
How about a Christmas special, you test the safety squints to destruction and put them on a mannequin and shoot them with a 12 bore
😆 that's a really good shout mate...
Chicken looked mint! And the Xti does look sexy in the Ally stock
I'm working on a few new parts for the chassis ATM. I need to change the geometry a little to suit the shooting I do, get myself a bit more upright behind it. Im super impressed with it though. I definitely need a second one for the older action now. Maybe a red anodised one next time...
@tillysgunstocks ooooooh!! Will AA be selling the Ally stock as a stand alone option?
@@chrissmith2027 I believe so mate. Hopefully in a couple of different configurations for different disciplines would be great
A thicker back plate would make them easier to drift out, but definitely a good one.
I'm going to strip the hilti and see what I can re use. Maybe the barrel/chamber portion will be salvageable.. I need to improve the safety of it too really..
I've always wondered if graphite powder would work as a pellet lube , after all being dry it won't pick up bits of debris.
How do you rate the accuracy of the Nate chrony?
They're well calibrated mate, I've also not missed a single shot (of the tons of strings I've done) even on the stuff with a harsh muzzle blast. I did bend it all up in the side pocket of my bag a while back, just tweaked it all back straight and it's still spot on 😆
@ good to know I just bought one. Reads 10 fps higher than my LMBR which I used to think was my “accurate” chronograph. Just does my nut in just want to be legal so probably best to stick with the Nate I guess?
I love the look of the STI. One for my wishlist.
I am a HUGE fan of Air Arms....I was from when they were Sussex Armoury with their Jackal! ....still want one! I have an FTP 900, TDR..510XS I believe.....Pro Sport and TX200.....BUT that alu stock version is not my cup of tea at all. I have a Steyr Challenge LG110 FT and the grip looks exactly the same....but the front of the chassis is rather bulky and strange in form as is the blocky stock. Doesn't seem to do any more than many other fully adjustable alu stocks in my humble opinion. Sorry Air Arms, not trying to rain on anyones parade. 😞
If you could shoot inside or enclose your shooting range, that would remove an important variable and make it clearer how much the other variables, pellet, rifle etc, effect the shot consistency. I like the idea of getting 25 yds of 4 ft diameter pipe laid outside, but that's just a pipe dream.
Quality control is not jsb's problem. Problem is transport seeing as jsb uses quite a soft lead "alloy". They deform very easily if kicked around in transit. It is what makes them as good as they are. H&n is worse exactely because they use a harder alloy.
Whilst transit damage is always a problem I'm not sure it's the postman that has been putting mixed batches and even the odd wad cutter /flat head in tins of exacts 😉
You talk too much
I found that majority of 4.50's measured 4.53 (95%, ish)
Only hand-lapping a barrel bore with a special paste will make it suitable for airgun use and supreme accuracy. The secret is in the elbow grease.
The middle of saw blades is usually NOT hardened, maybe a little bit tempered to cope with tension on cutting but usually it's just tips that are designed to be rock hard ( carbide/ tungsten steel) 👍😉
I gotta give TJ of TJ barrels a most honorable mention. ZHis barrel are awesome.
I bought some of the .22 caliber Benjamin pellets I'm anxious to see what they do in my .22 caliber break barrel, I have four .22 caliber break barrels so I will see if they work in one of them.😎😎
JSB all the way for me!
Same mate, I still can't better a decent batch of jsb. I just wish it was easier to find the good batches...
Great review - Thanks.👍I agree about the ball trigger, be nice if AA offered an option on the type of trigger for the first owner.
The chassis layout definitely opens up the chance to offer it tailored to more disciplines and users requirements, maybe one day we can fully configure a rifle online..now that would be amazing 🤯
Typical AA..... same gun, different stock
Which is why my AA S400 Classic 12ft/lbs is in an MPR Precision Stock for 25 yards Benchrest.
Is the shoulder pad working on a ball joint system? It would seem to me that with the level of adjustment available that it is possible to get the shoulder pad not sitting square on to the shoulder
Love Air Arms😊
What glove are you using? TIA
It's an anschutz one😉 Intershoot are the boys for these..
@@tillysgunstocks Thanks
@@grahambristol2988 no worries, there's a size guide for them..the suggested sizes ,for me atleast were odd. I went with the recommendation and at first it was a little tight but after the first use was absolutely perfect. So definitely follow the size guide 😉
Jsb Polymags .22 now over $40 in New Zealand. H&N Hornets listed on Trade me at $59.99..as good as they are simply cannot afford them any more.
I had a go with a 9015 at the range recently and the trigger was sublime. Is the Ali XTi in the same ball park?
Yeah I've got both the red xti and my 9015 feeling the same. Both can go much lighter than is safe for outdoor target rigs 😬 The trigger sears are massive in the xti compared the 9015 which makes them pretty robust😉.
@ thanks for the rapid response. The new XTi is most certainly on my wish list for benchrest.
Very tidy!
Verry nice !
Shoots as well as my S400 and HW98 😉 I dunno how they can sell enough of those to make a profit especially with all the R&D needed?
Flagship stuff seldom makes a profit, it's usually funded by the bread and butter models😉 fun to see it all coming together though and more choice for us 😀
S400 are crap these days still got one here great 10 years ago now days to many great riffles out there I won at Lincoln two weeks ago with a modded gammo coyote

It’s an assassin’s rifle, 😂🤣😂, just watched, the day of the Jackal, even he would be jealous, 😂
I should have matte blacked the whole thing 😆 I might go lairy ceracoat yet🤔
Yup, a little unbelievable the film clip I saw, zero recoil at the rifle for a start, even with rigorous ballistics calculations beforehand, you can only base air pressure/moisture content/temperature, and any windage on a forecast. World Class Benchrest Shooters need 7 minutes of sighting and zero before the first 7 minutes timed card, and even the timed card has a sighter plus five scoring rounds, and conditions may mean that a tight group is all that is possible, rather than hitting the centre of the target. Based on the film clip I wouldn't pay to see the film.
I’ll stick with the good old fashioned wooden one , if you can shoot and competent why go Ali my old fashioned wooden one does exactly the same but a shed loads cheaper?? lol 😂 , don’t believe the comments about ultimate adjustment on the Ali version, the good old fashioned one as the same, 😊
