All the normal places for a purchased adapter have come up empty and so I would like to ask you, are you still happy with the out come of the build? And what would you do differently if you built another?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Rob <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847069642468128296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-30818571642552431252010-07-18T11:16:16.102-07:002010-07-18T11:16:16.102-07:00Ha!

Going to let it cure for a few days. I plan on going through with a complete rebuild and mods later, when I get all the parts.<br /><br />KAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-1914428490821743692010-07-18T07:55:37.802-07:002010-07-18T07:55:37.802-07:00Derrick,

I am finding that while my garage is FULL of useful and often used tools and equipment, I am very under equipped for this kind of job. looks like I will be making some equipment purchases soon, prolonging my air gun wish list purchases!!<br /><br />I was going to document the process via pictures, but camera no longer functions consistently. (ie., it's broken).<br /><br />I could not get the air valve (?) out of main tube, as it would've required more force than I was willing to use, so I left it in and wire wheeled the rust and old finish off. cleaned and painted all parts that will show. giving 24hrs for cure time for paint and will re assemble today. I live in 100deg.+, 20%- humidity, so I am sure the cure time is good.<br /><br />Thanks for the inpiration, keep ya posted.<br /><br />KAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-79785961268098396712010-07-17T20:23:18.050-07:002010-07-17T20:23:18.050-07:00DSW,

The two 12g cartridges will not be needed once the bulk-fill cap is done. The gas tube will be filled from a paintball tank.<br />The gas pressure will be exactly the same--between about 900 and 1000 psi depending on temperature. There will be more gas volume than 24g (provided by the two 12g cartridges), so there will be more shots available at full power.derrick38https://www.blogger.com/profile/07453249070532046877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-80565004820268198502010-07-17T09:55:42.540-07:002010-07-17T09:55:42.540-07:00So with this plug finished as a bulk fill adapter ...So with this plug finished as a bulk fill adapter rifle will not need the two cylinders, right? <br /><br />And what kind of pressure will we be talking? Same as the eliminated cylinders?<br /><br />The volume of pressurized CO2 looks like almost doubles(?), giving more shots per fill?<br /><br />DSW/KAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378835029459742413.post-41915714751059892472010-07-17T09:42:57.638-07:002010-07-17T09:42:57.638-07:00Derrick,

I'm thinking maybe I could play around with it for a couple of years to see what comes of it.<br /><br />Of course I don't expect to do what you're doing with just a couple years under my belt, but I think I can surprise myself good or bad. Pretty sure I could turn some barrel clamps/front sites for my 1377 anyway.<br /><br />DSW/KAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
