Barnes Quality throughout ...

 

Pistol grip - adjustable for angle.

 

Sculpted forestock ... adjustable fore and aft ... Wide palm rest ...

 

Abbreviated buttstock ... adjustable fore, aft, and laterally ...

 

Billet machined construction ... All Barnes ...

 

Butt reservoir - quick fill integral machined intake valve ...

 

Widely Adjustable Power - push forward cocking

 

Good size scope rail ... 11mm.

Bolt action - single feed ... Pellets, Ball, or Barnes Slugs ...

 

Details ...

Graceful compound curves - hand ground from color laminated hardwood Birch.

The first shots in the shop. Power turned way down. The Match Grade Barnes open barrel is quiet enough to shoot in a basement or garage, etc. As you see here ... turned down still gives 26-29 fpe with a low 2,000 psi fill.

More testing will be posted. These were shot with a simple and inexpensive fixed 4X scope on simple mounts. Trigger is single or two stage - your choice.

This is not a bare bones rifle. Yet .. it's attention was focused differently from things you may have considered to be carved in stone. All that billet shouts quality. The barrel is open - more efficient with the longer barrel. If you want it quiet, you can turn it down. Light weight and great balance. The trigger is single stage. It works wonderfully. Very nice for hunting and standing shots. It's stocks are abbreviated, adjustable, and a festival of color.


 

Morning Gary,

You've out done yourself with the Nebula 2.

Bet it shoots as good as it looks.

Hi Gary,

WOW! Did the producers of the new Star Wars series see that thing? They need to.

THAT IS NICE GARY! Has that bare bones assault rifle look. The polished billet parts and the wood really just jumps off the screen. Another great product.

Hi Gary,

Man, that looks so tasty...

Excellent work.

I hate to say it but I think that is one of the best looking guns you have made to date.

Jay


Hi Gary, thanks for posting pics of this new rifle; very nice!

Glad you liked it .. noticed it. What I've made here is a format that answers what most of you say you want ... light weight (abbreviated stocks and smaller air tube), Versatile (25 caliber with power adjust), Air efficient (longer open barrel 25 cal.), Adjustable ergonomics (Forestock, buttstock, pistol grip angle adjust). Lots of scope mt. options (longer rails). Optional ammo (Commercial Buckshot and Pellets) and still Barnes slug compatible. Stand out style (everybody won't have one like it ;?). Ability to use your tanks down far lower (adjustable power and med. range design psi. requirements).

Sure - there are about a thousand optional formats. ;?) Shorter barrel - 32 caliber - shrouded barrels - yes - different stocks - even different breech treatments...

 

How about some specs. on the Nebula 2?

On higher power - it's balanced for a 3,000 psi fill.

You can shoot 10 23.7 grain ... #3 buckshot @ an average of 954.2 fps for 47.92 fpe. You'll have about 1,900 psi left after this.

You can use this setting to shoot 10 Beeman Kodiak pellets 30.3 grains @ an average of 866.3 fps for and average of 50.5 fpe. You'll have about 1,900 psi left after this.

After a 30 second swap out of the "power adjust rod" ... you have completely reconfigured the rifle for medium power.

Fill pressure is now just 2,125 psi on medium power (SCUBA tank fills last much longer).

You shoot 10 buckshot at an average of 862.7 fps for 39.17 fpe. You'll have about 1,500 psi left after this. Very efficient with air you see.

Accuracy is excellent. Handling and balance is excellent. It's clean and crisp - great trigger. I did alittle varmint control with it today. 30 yard offhand standing shots were no trouble - clean and effective.

As shown: (less bi-pod, scope, mounts)

$5,250 US

$500 down ... balance over 36 monthly pymts. No interest.
