This is my latest project, all parts have been bought and some work has began.
It is MkII of my ERG-SSB

Heres a rough(not to scale;)) drawing I just made up of what it should look like when done
Colours are subject to change
1/2" barrel
2" chamber

coaxial w/ piston

Future upgrades...

Schweet; when do you expect to finish it, and what pressure will you run it at?

looks good, but dont you think the hose in the back would get in the way of your trigger hand?

that looks to be quite impressive.

you should use a husky blowgun imbedded in your stock handle.
will look more like a real rifle trigger.

No, it shouldn't. Lot's of rifles have a thru-grip stock and they feel just fine. Just run the hose through a hole up through the stock for a cleaner look.

based upon the picture it looks like it would be uncomfortable but I'm sure the actual scale of the parts will be less protruding (no offense frankrede lol).

But i would suggest that you connect the hose to the opposite end of the blow gun and run it flush with the bottom of the stock, that way there isn't anything to worry about in the first place, and if I recall right... a blowgun's performance is the same no mater what side the pressure is being released from.

Although it was stated many times, the hose does look to be a problem. A good alternative that I have seen would to simply use a small ball valve similar to that on the HEAL gun. It seemed to me like it worked well for that purpose, plus you wouldn't have the hose problem on this design.

Otherwise, it looks good. My only other criticism would be that the stock looks a little to boxy for my taste.

I was actually originally planning to do that, but the blow gun has some odd threads at the spout.

I thought about that too

130 psi and it should be done by wednesday, if not then, thursday

@frankrede

Husky blowgun with a 1/4" (90*) elbow
Total price = $6-8

I just have higher priorities when it comes to budgeting

I see, I see :read:
didn't mean to pry

Ok, I'm done now

Any other suggestions or new idea are appreciated
I just realized that it resembles a a cross between a FN SCAR and a Thompson with a hint of Sig Sauer

Way to go frankrede! I like it.

Exactly what I was thinking! (Tommy gun)

Do not run the hose to the outlet of the blowgun. The pressure will work against the spring, and could cause/contribute to an accidental discharge (very bad).

I take it you have the 2" stuff or you would be making the chamber smaller in diameter?
