The schrader doesn't have to be threaded. But I heard that there are easy and cheap ones in bike tubes. So I'll buy one and let him pull one out of those.

Ok so here's the plan. I have G&P m16 that I wanted to make my own. So i got the idea of making an M203 pneumatic one to mount under the barrel. I have the parts, the 1'' PVC, cement, end caps, and a schrader tire valve. But the ball valve would be very difficult and therefore very impractical to ...
