Well I have it done now, I just glued the new chamber but I accidentally double threaded my 2"x1" bushing so I need to get a new one+coupler

Notice the modified flush bushings!

Very nice gun, well built.
I honestly thought you were black until I saw a pic of you, no offence or anything but your a wigger.

hey could the gravity fee issue be fixed by having the exhaust air shot into the top of the magazine?

How many shots do you get from one charge? It seems pointless to have a magazine if you have to refill the pressure reservoir after every shot.

Well I get only one shot per air load, but I have my gun setup so I have it constantly hooked up to the compressor.
