RMConstruction's Knex True Lever Action Rifle!

The very first posted mech for a true lever action. The lever isn't really that hard to pull back, and unfortunatly, you cannot overdo the rubberbands, as you'll end up pulling the equivalent force with the lever, and possibly break it :-(

It  can easily take 2 #64 RB's, bit I haven't tried more...

Pros
Pretty damn cool
Lever works smoothly
Good Weight
Iron sights

Cons
Bit blocky
Sometimes jams...


Vid of it shooting too!

Step 1: Small odds and ends

 Small and vital pieces

check out my concept for a true lever action gun it dosent use any string and can hold quite a bit more power

[ghostpotato]

is the stock nessisary and mabe a part count would be nice but youve prob torn this apart already

[RMConstruction]

The stock isn't necessary for function, though it makes it a lot easier to actuate the lever.

[ryry2011]

you want to build that thing

[RMConstruction]

What 'thing'?

[ryry2011]

the gun dosent even look like the real thing

[the vengeful aug]

Dude what are you talking about, this isn't modeled after anything.

[RMConstruction]

It was simply a proof of concept, not a replica of any Winchester 1892.

[ryry2011]

so

[RMConstruction]

So your argument is invalid and therefore you have no place in this conversation.

[ryry2011]

well nether do you ehter

[RMConstruction]

I think you'll find this is my Instructable, therefore I can comment to whom and whence I like. You need to spell correctly. I cannot believe you spell like that in real life.

[TheFoofinator]

I think he genuinely can't spell, not just typos. He always spell so 'so' as 'sow' and other repeated words.

[Puddock]

Looks great!

[chato56]

can oit work without the wheel thingys

[RMConstruction]

It won't be anywhere near as smooth but it might....

[AUG-5OM3]

I love it. Can I use it in my coming idea? (you'll get credit of course.)

[RMConstruction]

Of course! Just give it a better body and I'll be happy!

[AUG-5OM3]

Thanks, I love the mechanism but I want to make a different body.

[apples!!!!!]

Not to be a late buzzkill, but this isn't 'true' lever action. A lever does not prime; it clears a previous round and chambers a new one.

are you doing video editing? cuz i don't know anyone using a greenscreen for photography...
like it! 5*!

[~KGB~]

ill make this, whats the range?

[RMConstruction]

Depends on:
1) What strength string you have (enables you to pull heftier bands)
2) Amount of bands
3) What type of ammo (Shorten/lengthen the mag to fit blues).

[~KGB~]

ok, thanks!

[sharpbike123]

Pure dung not sturdy

[RMConstruction]

Pure rage cos' your gun is block trigger.

[builder968]

Awesome. I'll build this later this week and turn it into a shotgun. Or at least, I'll try.

[knexriflekid]

Awesome! I cant wait to see it!

[RMConstruction]

Project was disbanded a while back... Although this is now: http://www.instructables.com/community/ANOTHER-Rotary-barrel-gun-project/

[RMConstruction]

I tried this with shells, it didn't work out...

[Knex_Gun_Builder]

5 STARS! Can you say wickedawesomecool?

[RMConstruction]

Lol! glad you found this... Working on a shell ejecting version as we speak...

[Knex_Gun_Builder]

awesome!

[farzadbayan]

Thanks !

[knex gun builder freak]

Sweet Build, could use a bit of modding for betterlooks, mabey a bit sturdier, but overall a nice gun. 4.5*

P.S. didint you mean but instead of bit when you mention how many RB's you'v tested?

[RMConstruction]

 Agreed on the look... Ugly beast :-(


And ill look into that :-p

[Raikou-san]

So it's basically Mepain's string-powered pump-action, but with a lever instead? Meh.

[RMConstruction]

WHAT?
I made this mech from scratch! Coincidental!
