PSR .50cal [final]

[Darkside 6ix]

Well this baby has been keeping me busy for a while. It's not entirely finished yet because I still need to install the fill valve and the pressure gauge. I also need to glue all of the parts together. It should be finished by this weekend but I cant promise anything. If I can pull together 5$ in change...then Ill probably invest in some spray paint. Hope you guys like her.

PSR .50cal (Pneumatic Sniper Rifle)
Barrel - .5" sleeved in 1"
Bipod - .75" with medium sized hose clamp.
2x 90 elbows
1x 45 elbow
Valve - 1" mod sprinkler valve
Pilot - Blowgun (for ergonomics)
Chamber - 1.5"
3x 90 elbows
1x T

EDIT: I spray painted it black, added some pvc caps to the bipod, replaced the dwv wye with a tee and I have some damage pics also.

This thing has beastly power. I can really feel any recoil because the majority of the time I lay down when I shoot it. But wowee, this thing flings a marble pretty far for just being at 50psi.

I hope you guys like it. This is probably the longest ive spent on a single cannon, I put alot of work into this one.

[hi]

it looks great, no primmer marks that i can see.

but there is a tincy wincy problem.. is spy with my little eye a DWV tee. not a good idea, especially since its right next to your face.

[Darkside 6ix]

Thats DWV??!?!?!?!?!?! Hold on, I swear it was pressure rated.

[MrCrowley]

Looks nice but is that a DWV wye I see? I know you can get pressure rated ones but those sockets do look quite short.


edit: Beaten.

Check the writing on it, if you still don't know post what it says, we can help you out.

[knappengineering]

The reason there are no primmer marks is because he didn't glue it yet.

I also need to glue all of the parts together.

[Darkside 6ix]

The T along with all of the other parts are marked PVC-I. My Elbows have SCH-40 on them which I found as a relief. But I dont see SCH-40 on the T. But why would it be in the pressure rated section of PVC. My local ace hardware has Pressure and Non-Pressure rated fittings divided by a big red line. So does that mean its pressure rated?

[MrCrowley]

Surely it must have more then 'PVC-I' on it.

And by the way, Sch 40 is not a pressure rating it is a thickness rating: http://www.spudfiles.com/spud_wiki/inde ... _Rated_PVC

[Darkside 6ix]

Holy crap...There is super tiny fine print that says DWV on it...Thank God I havent glues anything yet. Maybe next time I get a chance to go to ace hardware...ill look it up. Damn...Now I have to remeasure all of the pipe. Well I guess safety first, right?

[psycix]

You can also see thats DWV because of the socket depth.
Your lucky you didnt glue it yet

BTW,
I like that bolt breech!

[Carlman]

Well I guess safety first, right?

definitely!

[jook13]

for something that looks to be setup for accuracy, you gonna put a scope on her? I know my walmart has some cheap ones near the bb guns for around 7 bucks....

looking good though, good thing its not glued together yet aye? what with that dwv wye and whatknot...

[Darkside 6ix]

Idk...because at my local walmart the scopes are like 20$ Well I just looked up that wiki that MrCrowley sent me and now I know how to identify DWV. I still cant believe Ace Hardware had DWV in the pressure rated section. The whole thing will probably up and running by Sunday depending on whether or not I can go to the hardware store.

EDIT: call me dumb, but what does wye mean. Is that another word for a Tee?

[SpudFarm]

wye is your fitting. the part of it facing down has a little turn on it.

a TEE is straight

[Darkside 6ix]

Oh, Thanks for the info. I liked the curved look to it though...

[koolaidman]

This gun looks oddly familiar..
