- My latest and probably LAST custom AirForce Airguns custom build.
Caliber: .224
Name: .224 NOBLE
Why? Because its dedicated to my good buddy, fellow airgunner and machinist. Its named after him.
MORE INFO?! Watch the video!
Stay tuned for field testing!

Beautiful rifle Cedric and you’re right Doug is one of the best out there. I have two 257 from him and they’re awesome. And thanks to you, I met Doug. Much appreciated.
That's a true custom. Another incredible piece you have there. Can not wait to see the shooting vid!!
Thank you. More "custom" stuff coming too! I appreciate the comment
Very nice! I love the AirForce Condor platform. Looking forward to the next video.
Great to hear again from Doug.
Very nice. I can't wait to see it on action. 👍
Amazing craftsmanship! I look forward to seeing some video footage as only Tofazfou can present.
I appreciate it and I know Doug does too. More video content is in the works. You know i'll start postin stuff up!
I’ve been waiting for this one!!! Bad ass build buddy
Me too. Like almost 2 years🤣worth of waiting. It was really painful seeing all the airguns coming out shooting 40 gr slugs at 1040 fps knowing I had something in the works that shot the same weight bullet at the same speeds ON LOW POWER.....lol
@@Tofazfou I bet!! However One of the issues I have, with my Vulcan 3s for example. I can get big power out of them. 49-60grain over 1000fps aka altaros. But they don’t shoot good over 930fps. Maybe you’ll be able to get better accuracy having the ability to send them even faster yet. Will definitely be fun to keep updated on!
Man bruh that is phenomenal! Poor critters. Flat out don’t stand a chance😂
Really nice custom hardware you have, I have a .224 Valkrye,never took off it seems but I believe it’s underrated,nice little round👍
Oh man, I wanted the Valkyre but just like you said, I was ready to click the "buy" button but, NOTHING! Seems like its trying to make a comeback though. Of course, ammo, powder and primer shortages don't help with the advancement of any caliber
Awesome looking gun my boy.
Thank you! Much appreciated
Wow what a great airrifle ! thanks for the video
Hell yeah!! I can't wait to see the next vid!!
Just amazing !! Thansks for sharing
Hi sir nice to see u again
With awesome result
Good to see you again also. Thank you and..................STAY TUNED for more!
193 HOT DAMN!!
Yeah, I just verified again last night and it was 1138, 1125, 1114 and 1113 fps with the Altaros 67 gr untethered. That tells me my spring preload was a little too high and that I could have gotten the numbers closer together. But hey, Im still leaning this rig and I have a ways still to go.
Amazing custom again ❤
Curious about the hammer weight and spring weight? Delrin Breech? Hammer cocker or breech cocker? How much of barrel carbon fiber wrapped?
What mold for .224?
Is 1:12 of twist alot of twist for an airgun? The added friction is working ok and able to avoid valve lock with bigger Dyotat .257 valve?
I remember that the issue of valvelock was once a concern long ago when I once suggested .17 cal and when considering faster twist rates in .257 for longer heavier bullets. It seems Doug does alot of custom tuning on each valve and that he overcomes the issues with each valve/ hammer and spring being very application specific.
So much care goes into the overall complete package. He does so much more as a true custom masterpiece.
So much more goes into each specific application as a whole as opposed to just slapping on a bunch of mass produced aftermarket products. That's the type of engineering and fabrication going on when pushing the limits beyond where anyone has gone before.
What A/F airguns have lacked in refinement and luxury, they have made it up in power and simplicity.
Glad for all the research and work you and Doug have done and then openly shared with the community!
I wonder how many A/F sales could be contributed to the work that you and Doug have done and published?
It would be interesting statistic if it could ever be quantified.
Nice gun!
Very cool. Doug has mad skills. Go long with yer bad self.
Brother don't cliffhanger us like that.
Very very nice , you must of had the place custom build that part on your stock ( the k&l but pad mono stock) cause I could not find it on there sight , anyway good work on the gun and thx for pushing the sport to new limits
Awesome build 🔥🔥 .. there are non high bc mold aviable.. a group buy for a down size version in the 60 to 64gr of the Arsenal 280-107 bt would be great..
Dude that thing looks amazing. I just know it's gonna be another blisteringly accurate rifle. Are you going to make some solid flat point ammo as well ? Can't wait to hear and see it slam some targets (ground squirrels)
DB! DB! COME ON MAAAAAAN! YOU KNOW ME! I have been having FP and HP molds for damn near 2 years since i concepted this build. I have the, Arsenal 225-47 Grain FN "Bowman", NOE 225-39-FN, Lee C225-55-RF, RCBS 55 gr FN and a couple of M&P molds on loan too. With Mr HP, VarmintKnockers and my own cast, i have over 19 slugs to test. That includes, HPs, RN and FN
It’s been awhile in the making but I know it’s going to be good .
And with your slugs too....😉😉. I also appreciate talking to you and bouncing ideas off one another
That’s sweet. I’m just getting into the af and pcp in general. Any advice where to get better valves. Or how Doug does it. I know a machinist that would help me out
Awesome!
Real nice
i want one
193!! That's amazing. What's the FPS?
FPS vary with weight. 1138 FPS with 67 gr Altaros Slugs. 1300 FPS+ fps with 40-45 gr slugs. Thats top speed. But, AirForce airguns have a power wheel so the tuning (fps/fpe) is infinite. This rifle can literally shoot down to a couple hundred fps all the way up to supersonic
@@Tofazfou that's crazy fast. 🤪
How is the barrel connected to the action(threaded, set screws and friction,...?) Thanks
Same thought occurred to me, but I think with something this powerful it's gotta be threaded.
Great question. NOT THREADED. No need. So, this is a custom fitted barrel. The barrel is simply held by set screws in the frame that go down to dimples in the barrel. My barrels are over 1" in diameter and are custom machined down.
All airforce airguns barrels are held by set screws and collards that surround the barrel and have been since their inception many moons ago. And yes, once you remove the set screws, my barrel is till held by friction. So you would still have to twist it out
@@ToreDL87 No sir. Answer just above this comment
@@Tofazfou Thanks for the reply... Awesome channel...:)
Again, you make us wait!? 😲🙄😬 Anticipation is making me wait!... dag nabit. 😊
HAHA, JAMES, i tell you what, NOTHING hurts me more than Me Myself having to wait to shoot and film again.....lol! Man, this work crap is getting really old, really fast. The older i get, the faster it gets old.....lol! Wish i could shoot everyday like many airgun RUclipsrs i see. I NEED A SUGAR DADDY!
@@Tofazfou Momma, you mean!? 🤔
@@jamesdenny4734 yeah. Yeah. That's what I meant. Sure🤣🤣
In case you forgot, I'm a construction guy LOL
Stop teasing, get with it man🤡
LOL, well, you know us working men don't have time to just shoot all day er day.....lol
