Oh man oh man, am I as thick as two bricks... I got some 3/4'' copper pipe (type M) from my local hardware for my pump yesturday. I always knew this stuff could fit marbles pretty well. I was stoked and horrified that It wouldn't fit marbles at all.......not even close! When I went out to get some o-rings, I couldn't find one that would fit so that made me more cranky. My mate told me that the copper was imported so I thought the imported sh!t, was a different size to the Aussie made pipe so I went out and got some aussie pipe (more money spent...). He then told me to make sure I file off the bur thats on the inside of the lip because when the pipe is cut, it deforms it inwards by a few mill (hence why the marble wouldn't fit)

As a result, my own stupidity and ignorance has cost me so much more money, not to mention alot of dicking around...

BUT! Now that I have 2 pieces of pipe that are exactly the same, I can make a copper marble hooner!

That's enough useless rambling for one night...

all i have to say is ... you get that mate

what about a double barrel shotty?

Now thats an idea! but what about a single shot marble gun charged to 400+ psi?

or both

nah sounds good mate, piston valve i assume?

Yeah thats the plan mate. I posted the design on here a while back (a month ago) It's all out of copper, has nice curves and is based off Casey's S400 and SSS.

Hey, at least you realised the mistake good luck with the pump and launcher then, should be a good 'un

God only know's I'll come across another problem that just needs common sense to figure out that will stall me for another few months

Double barrel, double chamber, double piston valve. Independent firing or locking set up for double firing. Seems to be a theme here??? Anybody esle reading this sense it???

i only said double barrel as he said he had a spare bit of copper pipe...

My smiley seems to sense it. Double it up man!

Now that would be sweet. A double barrel copper boom stick, Grandpa' style
