Aeg to CO2 Conversion

9113 Views 27 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  The Builder
So as i was youtubing i came across this:

This seems really cool, and i would love to have my SW M82 converted to CO2 instead of electric. But i would want it semi-auto. Does anybody make this(manufacture or homemade) or know of a way i could make one and have it shoot consistently around 500 fps?

I am working on a system that will do just that. I will look at this video and see how this one was done. I am working with some forum members to develop a drop in valve system to build really nice DMR's out of AEG's.

I sure will George. If it works out like I hope the quality of the internals on the AEG wont mean a thing at all. We are designing it so it will fit in a common gear box and the only component of the gear box that is kept would be the trigger. This would allow a person to build a very nice DMR from a pretty inexpensive AEG. I can see the finished product in my head now we just need to make it happen. The drawings are being done and next up will be a machinist. The machining is actually not real complicated so a good lathe should get it done. The goal is a reasonably priced, reliable system.
Look up the Kuba build.

That is basically what it is. A Co2 version of the polar star system.
Those internals are from the A&K SVD, using the PAS or some kind of clone CO2 conversion kit. I have one, and I can say that the kit is a load of s**t.
Im glad to hear your working on something like this TheBuilder, i kinda figured you would have some input. He also has another video of it.

I will be interested in buying it as long as it is reliable and doesnt cost an arm and a leg.

@hobobunny
are you sure thats all it is? And what sucks about it?

i just looked up that Kuba and found your thread i believe and clicked on the link and it brought an AEG to HPA conversion, I didnt see the CO2 one.....
It will tun off of co2 as well. Hpa or co2 doesn't matter.

I am 100% sure that those parts are from the SVD. That is clearly a SVD spring guide, cylinder, and bolt. The shots are terribly inconsistent because it runs off of unregulated CO2, which also results in crazy high FPS. The piston itself has so much mass that my kit "bounces" after firing, so it shoots twice.

Also, any airsoft gun that uses HPA can use CO2, provided that you have the correct air rig so that liquid CO2 doesn't get into the internals.
Woogie, I have seen the Kuba and it is closer to the P* and than what I am working on.
When I ment CO2 I ment the little cartridge kind. I have no way of getting a strong enough compressor to fill a tank or CO2.

Isn't there a valve or some way to control the amount of gas that leaves the CO2 cartridges, to control the fps?

Is there an advantage of CO2 vs air? Smaller bottles I guess?

But issues with cool down and affecting the hop system?
If you have a good air rig you don't have to worry about cool down, unless you are shooting at some stupid high rps. But for a typical sniper/dmr load out you are fine.

You can get an adapter from palmers pursuit shop that will take the Co2 carts. Then just get your primary reg and then your secondary reg to fine tune the set up. I have had rifle that would shoot quite fast and didn't have to worry about any kind of cool down.
Woogie is on this one. You would have to really be ripping on it to have chilling problems.

There are pros and cons to both systems. CO2 has it's place and so does HPA. The advantages of CO2 is availability. The down side is cost. Where I play I can fill an HPA tank all day long for just the cost I paid to play. A CO2 fill is $4ea. For a DMR or sniper system the 12g's rock. They are light and easy to obtain. I had my quick change mounted right on the gun so I had no remote line.

The system I am working on is nothing like the P*** or anything else available. No double reg and the little quick change could be mounted right on the gun. The 12g goes right to the reg and from there right to the gun. I would love to find a reg small enough to go right in the gear box. The 12g could go in a foregrip.

So much potential and so much to do..... I can see it and now I just need to make it happen.

The Builder, it sounds like you are working on exactly what I am looking for, with the amount of room in my Barrett I'm sure I could fit the whole system in it....
I would love to give you some help if you need it.
I have already built two and they shot very well. One I sold and the other one is on it's way back to be after being looked at by an airsmith.

Paul
Would you be making another for sale anytime soon? Because I would be interested in buying it if it's not too much.
I 2nd that thats the insides from ann Svd,haha.

On another note, my buddy Dayne converted his aeg Barrett into a gas blowback rifle recently. Infact, he recently finished it.. He had to custom build a bunch of parts though.

It was all posted on my teams website, but the team broke apart and the site has since been removed. I can ask him some questions about it for ya. He MIGHT be willing to make the parts again to sell, but I cant really say..

I will text him in a few minutes, he should already be at work.
