Yusef? Your Ipad's autocorrect likes a bit of <s> Simon and Garfunkel?</s> Cat Stevens, what the fuck was I smoking last night?

It's a sound synth, and I'm certain I could find quantities of one of the reagents far easier than the product of the reaction...

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Dawn, I've got autocorrect set on "fundamentalist"

[jakethebeast]

Got some parts today

14.5" .22 crosman barrel, 4x 22xx barrel bands, epicly nice breech that Gippeto machined for me with SS bolt and 2250B gas tube.

Now just waiting for the packet from USA to get this thing in action

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Is this where gipetto shows us the knife he received in return

[jakethebeast]

This time it was pure benjamins

[Gippeto]

Kind words from abroad. (don't Jack...just...don't )

The parts seem to have beaten the main feature to the door. Hope your 2240 shows up soon so you can finish things off....should be a sharp looking piece. 8)

Enjoy the parts Jake.

You must have left her a hefty tip

Voice of experience there Jack?

[Zeus]

Have a looky at what I found

No excuses now hybridless noobs, $12 manometric metering.

Voice of experience there Jack?

Well I've er... been told that even if one is aware that it is all part of the act, a little flattery and the stroking of um... egos does go some distance towards loosening the purse strings

A syringe is still cheaper

[Zeus]

Indeed, but a certain person has done in excess of 70 attempted shots with a 45cc hybrid using syringe metering with no success, and that's with favourable chamber geometry...

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Has the gentleman tried using a manual pressure device as opposed to something lifted from an ailing refrigerator?

[Zeus]

I've done a good dozen with a hand pump, and I'll do a lot more this evening. I know the spark gap works, without charging the chamber I get a 12mm arc to the centre terminal, when I take it up to 40 Bar, I get perhaps a 3mm spark. If I had an accurate gauge at those pressures I'd purge the chamber and try it at 33 Bar

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I would test at 10x. Are you absolutely sure that you don't have any leaks? Even a tiny one will throw your mix off in the time it takes you to disconnect the pump.

[Zeus]

I lose about 1cc a minute at 40 bar, but the compressor has a slight leak at the connector. Most of my tests have been at 12x, but I've been down to 4 and up to 16, the limit of my good gauge.
