I always thought it was a hassle to have to load my BBB manually, so one day I started combing through ideas.

This is what I came up with:

A BBB that loads itself when cocked. It simply opens a breech with a magazine over it when pushed forward, and closes off the breech when the gun is cocked.



The breech is open.



And then it is closed.

This may have been done before, and I know someone wanted to try something similar with a NF, but I haven't seen this actually done on any other gun.

Questions? Comments? Snide remarks that accomplish nothing?

I don't really understand how the breach works.
The only difference I see between the two pictures is that the gun is primed and the clip is moved further back in one.

The whole concept of a BBB using the pull back motion to operate a clip was first done by Angel with his Angel Bow, but yours looks like it operates a lot differently, and I don't really understand it.

Very nice, and it works by the pull-push of the BBB is attached to a bolt that moves the magazine.

There is a wooden dowel rod through the two sights, and it is attatched to the breech cover. when forward, the breech is open, as in the slot in the barrel and in the breech cover are aligned, and closed when pulled back.

Actually I think the Bacon BBB was first.

In any case, it looks like they all operate on a similar principle. A pretty handy thing to have on a BBB. Nicely done.

This is really the same thing as the ABBB. Still, it shows something to reinvent it, because the ABBB is top-notch.

Okay, so it has been done before. Well, I guess great minds think alike? Thanks for the feedback anyway.

Nice! Why is there tape around the back handel?

[Senor Wolfwood]

It's cloth tape, because I sweat a good bit, and plastic handles get very slippery. I do that to all of my guns.

So this is essentially a glorified zero breech? Still very functional, and it looks quite sturdy. I'll have to try this myself.

[Senor Wolfwood]

No, it is not a zero breech, it is a breech consisting of a slot in the barrel, and a slot in the breech cover, with a deo. mag on top.
