Yes, but you'd have to machine a trigger for that slide valve, I was suggesting a 3-way valve with a trigger BUILT INjackssmirkingrevenge wrote:Most fittings have bigger internal diameters than the nominal one, all the 1/4" fittings I have are at least 8mm ID.MisterDoctor wrote:It's only 1/4". Is that even going to work? I would think it's going to bottleneck.
On the other hand, going to a 1/2" valve will give better performance, the barrel will choke the flow but air will be fed at a faster rate than the 1/4" valve.
A slide valve is a 3 way valve...if you want it to have a better, and faster rate of power, then use a 3-way valve for the pilot
Evan, all you have to do is buy a hose clamp, and put it around the slide valve. May not be very comfortable at first, but after some jb weld or bondo, it will feel pretty good.evanmcorleytv wrote: Yes, but you'd have to machine a trigger for that slide valve, I was suggesting a 3-way valve with a trigger BUILT IN
It's still NOT a trigger. And no, you would get an L bracket, and then hose clamp THAT to the slide valve.warhead052 wrote:Evan, all you have to do is buy a hose clamp, and put it around the slide valve.

Its really not that hard...evanmcorleytv wrote:Yes, but you'd have to machine a trigger for that slide valve, I was suggesting a 3-way valve with a trigger BUILT IN
An "L" bracket hose clamped to a slide valve? "L" brackets are for book shelves.evanmcorleytv wrote:It's still NOT a trigger. And no, you would get an L bracket, and then hose clamp THAT to the slide valve.
I think warhead has the better idea. The JB Weld could be shaped.A QEV, preferably. Thank you for asking.Doctor, just to clear things up a bit, since the thread is kind of hard for me to understand, do you want a quick exhaust valve rifle, or a hammer valve rifle?
Evan, please just stop arguing. You aren't always right. Some times yes, but not always.evanmcorleytv wrote:It's still NOT a trigger. And no, you would get an L bracket, and then hose clamp THAT to the slide valve.
I want a bolt action rifle, capable of shooting more than one shot preferably. Just to make things a bit easier considering this is only my second build.Are you going to build a blow-forward bolt for semi-automatic operation, or do something like poland_spud's Mk. III with a single acting pneumatic cylinder?

Warhead, I' wasn't arguing, I was telling you another way to make a trigger, and I was telling you my personal opinion on the "trigger issue."warhead052 wrote:Evan, please just stop arguing.

of course, i never said that you wouldn't need it!! hahaGun Freak wrote:You'll find that in practice that L bracket will slip out quite easily. Some adhesive would be necessary.
