Wow there has been a lot of these posted lately
anyways very nice job
Pretty much my one but out of metal
and what are you using to pressurize it to 300psi?

Pilot volume is almost nothing. There is some 1/2 sch80 pvc sleeved inside for the piston, and in the tee there is some 1/4 inch cpvc with some rubber to act as a bumper.
Bigbob I am using propane to pressurize it then I top it off with a shock pump
ill be painting it black later, will any of the parts rust? If it does thats the reson im painting.

Nice..You could switch the ballvalve and schrader,
Makes for a more comfortable trigger.
How does it perform??
Could you test it on a steel can?

Propane
that is a good idea and i will try it
and no, the parts wont rust for a very long time. They might start to rust a little in a year or so and the only parts that would rust at all are the black fittings.
that is all assuming you keep it dry

What material was the piston made out of? Hi-5 on the epoxied barrel

Piston was made out of aluminum rod.

Oh, Nice! So did you use a barrel support? I like how you put the quick disconnect and the shrader... I might do that

Yea i used a barrel support because when i fill the piston shoots forward really fast. dam this thing is strong you shoul really bump up the pressures on yours to see true damge

I want to, Just this darn bike pump...I might make a high pressure pump.. I am not really sure how much that project will cost. But for now the pump will have to do.. I can take it up to 80 but I pulled my shoulder a few days ago... Any damage shots?
