this looks very nice. Is it possible, however, to add a pic of the piston itself ? I'm very interested in how it looks. You used a O-ring on the back sealing, I mean the part that is scewed in ?

Very nice and clean gun. You got my vote !

Okay, how did you do the o ring with no lathe? I'm confused. And if you did an o-ring for the back, why not on the piston?

Oh yeah, very nice job dude. These keep gettin nicer and nicer. I look forward to seeing this one in person soon.

Argh, now everyone is using orings! I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE ORINGS!!!

...anyways, great cannon you got there. I would love to just have a plug for the back of my piston valves that has one oring in it, so that I could make a piston valve with a shorter overall length that is also servicable

Its so much easier to know what you're looking at in the valve once you know what the piston part actually looks like :P

Looks well made :)

so the back end isn't threaded? Why not?

The bolts seem like a PITA.

It's because screws make the valve a lot smaller and allow for less pilot volume and other stuff like that. They are a pain to remove, but they should rarely need to be taken out.
