I cut off my cap end and put a 4" cleanout on it. I am currently working on wiring in a chamber fan salvaged from one of my computers laying around.

Anyways. I cant get mine to fire to save my life. If anything shouldnt i have flame out with an open barrel if i fire right away? I am using ether ...

the later in the evening i get, the more alcohol is consumed. it is the weekend . Also, i knew when i was putting all of it together something didnt seem right about that psi gauge placement. i see now how it is wrong. Now it is all assembled i will just have to test and adjust the measurements.

so after you fire you just open the end for a few minutes to let the gun breath? i really dont know if i wanna put a fan in mine or not.. maybe its time to put my old computer crap to use.

-Is there a projectile obstructing the barrel? for testing i have a very tightly rolled ragthat sits very well in the barrel.

-Do you have a method to "vent" the shots? No what would be the best way to do that since i have ...
