First semi-good gun

[Cosmic Muffin]

ok this is the first time i have tried to post one of my guns so dont get grumpy if it doesnt work. anyway this is it. the barrel is copper pipe sleved in 20mm pvc. the bolt is the 20mm pipe in a 25mm piece with a shaven reducer at one end and another something at the other conecting it to the valve.

the stocked is blocked off with a small disc of pvc which i flattened in the oven. yep the valve is a solenoid one and it took me ages to figure out how to mod it

in the future im gonna put in a barrel support ( it really needs one ) and something to cover the end of the barrel where the copper is sticking out

I Guess it didnt work, there is no pics?

Using the Spudfiles uplaoder

When making a new topic in the showcase section, scroll down the page and click browse, and browse your computer for the picture you want to upload, then type it description in the description box and click 'upload' or something similar (don't click submit).

Then do that for all your photos, and then once you're done click submit.

He was having some problems uploading the pictures, however he IM'ed me and we got it all straightened out

Nice job, looks familiar to singularity's 25mm sniper rifle. Did you see it on instructables?

[Cosmic Muffin]

i got the idea of the bolt from there but i simplified it so yer but the barrel is actually that copper pipe

[Cosmic Muffin]

its leaking out the valve into the barrel which is really annoying and i had heaps of trouble modding it so i may have screwed something up can you suggest some reasons why it could be leaking anyway?

[MrCrowley]

What pressures is it leaking at?

it may require around 10psi to seal well.

Are you using a bike pump? They can sometimes be tricky to seal with a bike pupm if you have a big chamber or don't pump fast enough.

The diaphragm may of got some dust or pieces of plastic on it when you modded it, make sure it's clean.

You have taken the solenoid out and haven't expoxied the hole up.

That's all I can think of for now.

[Cosmic Muffin]

yer the gun actually works and i run it at 60psi but when i did mod it it copped a fair hiding cos it didnt work the first time and then i played round with it a bit and eventually got it working after drilling then filling multiple holes but i think i found the problem now.

Now that the pics are upladed, WICKED! Reminds me of Mr. Russ's pneumatic (the stock, the whole layout etc) Wicked, love the bolt action, damage pics? and are you aussie by any chance?

Cool, maybe you could host a party and advertise it on myspace
