Rubber Band Gun: Lever-action Winchester Rifle

Instructions

Please go to the RB Guns site to download the instructions and part list. RBGuns has also put together a detailed video on how to build this rubber band gun along with a fun video of the RB gun in action. https://www.rbguns.com/english/lever-action-rifle/ To build the gun cut out the parts and follow the instructions in the guide. Until you start assembly, it largely constitutes glueing parts together. I labeled each of the SVGs to match the part number in the instructions. A couple of caveats on the design. The designs are in metric. If you live in the US this has a few practical implications. The design calls for 4mm plywood which is 0.157 inches. I ended up using 1/4 ply which worked find but resulted in a thicker gun. If I was to build the gun again I may try and use 1/8 inch ply. For the 6mm dowels I used a 1/4" dowels. Since 1/4 inch is slightly bigger you will need to cut the 6mm holes with a slight negative offset until the 1/4 dowel fits. I forgot what this is so you'll need experiment to figure that out. The design is a marvel of engineering and if you follow the instructions closely you'll end up with a rubber band gun that works great and holds up surprisingly well. Please note in the image I shared, I actually didn't finish the gun (I didn't add the lower barrel). This is largely due to the impatience of my son wanting to play with this. Again all credit for this project is due to RB Guns along. They also retain full ownership of these designs. I'd encourage you to checkout their site has they've developed a number of incredible designs.
