Hey everyone, first off i'm new here, so please go easy on me :o

I'm looking at building a 6mm airsoft sniper but need a bit of help. i am wanting to use either a 9oz or 12oz co2 tank for my propellant, regulated and hopefully some sort of breach to load single shots.

can you guys help point me in the right direction, or maybe someone here has built one and i can use it for inspiration. once again, i'm new here and am a little lost on the forum. thanks for any help!

I'm building one actually. Mine is a hammer valve rifle that will use the internals of a semi cheap airsoft gun for a loading system. I make, and sell hammer valves, so if you need one, just message me. I will have a thread soon.

What you need is to make a detent system. Adjustable control and power. Look around the site for explanations.

well i've been doing some more reading and i think i am looking at this gun for inspiration

http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/25-air- ... 22941.html

but my question would be, if i replace the air chamber with a co2 bottle and regulator, would i need an expansion chamber, or would it be okay to feed directly into the trigger?

If you have a regulator, expansion chambers aren't needed unless you want more co2 in the gun.
