yer poor mans breech 4TW. drill a hole a little bigger than a paintball in your barrel and sleeve some bigger pipe over the hole to seal it, (electrical tape may be required.) hope all goes well.

You could also do a ball valve breech, it works wonderfully on my paintball gun. :D

how complex do you want it? Because I have a really nice plan for you for a decent breech, but its a little more comlex than some breeches, but really "nifty". Must I post it for you?

btw, nice heading: "...painballs", its a better description than paintballs if you ask me :wink:
really good quote/phrase here

i have a 3/4 cpvc barrel sch 40 tho. i simply sawed off a chunk on the top half of the barrel big enough for a paintball. then i took a coupler for that size pipe and sanded out the ridge on the inside of the coupler so that it can slide fully down the pipe. also you gots to sand the hole inside of the coupler so that it slides smoothly. it works great for me, easy to slide back and forth and you are garunteed that it seals it airtight. Plus it only cost me about 62 cents :wink:
