Building a airsoft sniper rifle

[wyz2285]

Recently I got a lot of good stuff, hydraulic/pneumatic parts, etc.
So, I decided to build a airsoft sniper rifle, my objective it´s to see how accurate a airsoft bb can be.
I used a 1/4 3-way valve to pilot a 1/4 QEV, the exhaust port of the 3-way is suppressed. But I´m not going to make it semi-auto, instead I will use bolt-action plus magazine for reloading.
The gun isn´t finished yet, I still haven´t decided the barrel/bolt configuration.
Video made at 5 bar, I tested 10 bar after the video, the QEV really rocks off the ground

Your stuff is getting better and better!!

Love the clean look so far!

I'm looking forward to seeing it completed.

[wyz2285]

Thank you sir
By my stuff getting better and better you meant the scope isn´t it actually it wasn´t expensive.
For the valves, I bought like 10 DCVs plus a couple of QEVs and other parts for less than 100 euro also now I have 6mm steel bbs

wyz;

That is a very appealing creation that you have done!
Excellent work and keep it up.

Thanks dewey-1, BTW I also got the circuit boards printed, 20 copies for just 30 euro
Hope I can finish this gun this month, but I have a girlfriend to take care now

That looks really nice, you should make the barrel come out of the grey tube.

Which version of the board?
Post a picture of the PCB.

Women will do that to you! Ask JSR!

[wyz2285]

Goats the barrel isn´t there yet
dewey-1 I got 10 copies of the semi/full auto(24v version)
and 10 copies of the semi one. I will post pictures when I find them I haven´t seem them since I arrived home (I printed them while I was in China, there is no such service here in portugal)
And, why should I ask JSR ?

[Labtecpower]

looks great! do you already have a barrel? I can get some quite good 6 mm hydraulics tube

And, why should I ask JSR ?

Well, the poor guy was once forced to bake a cake...
Not to mention he isn't allowed to buy a robotic baby.

Well currently I´m not "forced" to do anything yet, but there are stuffs that I know I shouldn´t do now
I do have a barrel, one of the best I have right now but I need a new 6mm barrel source, any details?

[Labtecpower]

I can get 6 mm ID, 10 mm OD hydraulics pipe very cheaply, in reasonable lengths. (up to 2 meters)

They are made out of 316L stainless, I need to do a precision measurement on the ID tough.

[wyz2285]

Price? If the ID is less than 6.1 mm it´s ok, but it has to fit a bb of course.
And are they straight? Keep 2m of 6mm tube straight during shipping it´s difficult I guess.

[Gippeto]

Have to agree with everyone else...that IS looking good. :thumbup:

Kind of a Condor/tube gun thing going on that has major appeal.

Very very cheap, someytimes I can even get 60 cm lengths for free.
I believe it's under 6,1 mm, fits a bb very well, I already tried.
I'll test the straightness tomorrow.

Nice work Wyz, looking forward to seeing it finished.

I hate to ask too, but you didn't pick her up fairly cheap in China did you?
