You want your pilot valve to be as efficient as possible... so yeah, why not

well i'm probably not going to buy one as then this one component will cost as much as 2 rifles fully painted

also this being my second rifle, i don’t want to make to too good or its going to be hard out doing myself in the next one
any ways i’m almost done, and tomorrow i shall post some pictures of the finished component.

I can buy 2 QEVs (1/2" as the main valve and 1/8" for assisting piloting) for about 25 - 28$ total here in poland...

I think you aussie guys should chip in and order a whole crate of various QEVs..
don't laugh it really is doable but requires good organisation

sounds like a good idea!!

ok well im finished (happy days ) here is what that component looks like:



i added a bit of texture on some parts, it adds both grip and a unique look



it feels really nice. i don’t know how it would compare to a regular pistol grip, but i am really likening how it ended up. and i recommend doing this if you ever decide to make a wooden stock.

Looking good, but where's the launcher that goes with it?

Pretty is as pretty does
