your burst disk design gives me some ideas.. is it possible for you to get on msn and help me a little there? seems like you have your top floor in right gear

I like the intergrated burst disc holder, instead of having a sperate union, i was thinking of using cam-locks on mine but maybe this is a better route to go down

Thanks...I think that this is much easier because you just have to weld a big nut to your chamber and then just get a big bolt and weld your barrel to it

Ei paha. Pitänee siirtyä hybrideihin jossain välissä.
Clean and compact build. And impressive performance. I like it!
