Well back to my thinking again guys.



Well I have my ASR, and I have been trying to figure out what I can do to her next. Well I remembered that I wanted to get a gas bolt for my VSR rifle quite some time ago. And now I have been working on a few things with my air rifles, and have thought about trying it out with the ASR.

The only thing is I can't find any diagrams or anything of the like for the inside of the gas bolts!

So that is why I am coming to you guys...... again....



Does anyone have one that they could take some pictures of the internals. I have some basic ideas of what it should look like, but the more pics are always better.

Just make an air reservoir in the back, with a solenoid that will let the pressure through in the nozzle, with a switch in the trigger. Easy. Then you could run the gas line through the back of the bolt, through the handle.

You could even do it, you own a lathe, and steel is fairly cheap right now at mcmaster...

I would go with a coaxial barrel sealing design for a bolt action build that would be actuated by a QD valve, either electric or mechanical.

Thats the nice thing about a bolty rig is that you dont have to deal with the feeding issues that you get on a semi auto rig, and its ALL POWER!!

I have a few designs that would very easily be adapted to a single shot in a bolty if you'd be interested... I haven't pursued them since I have been a little (probably a lot) too motivated to get a semi auto system that I like...

EDIT: That is if you wanted to build a custom rig... I think someone makes a gas conversion rig for the APS that would fit in an ASR...

Yeah send them on over man.


I am wanting something that is totally mechanical so you don't have to worry about a power supply.

I do have a few ideas, that I am going to play with when I get some material in

 

[bobgengeskahn]

Ok, I'll have to sift through my piles of sketches when I get home tonight and see whats viable for a bolty again (I know there are a few in there) and scan them in. I'll PM you tonight.

I have quite a bit of material coming here next week So I can get to work on them all then.

This sounds like a cool concept. I've always wanted to buy a gas cylinder for a VSR and run it with an external rig.

 

[sanguinor]

So are you talking about making a rifle with an external feed to a magazine or a rifle with an internal feed through the bolt?

If you're on about an internal feed I am incredibly interested in this.

 

[woogie]

Thinking an internal feed directly to the bolt itself. This way you can still use standard mags

 

[sanguinor]

Oooo, I would love to see how you do this, cause that's my dream for an airsoft sniper. Internal, gas rig with no pesky cables and no worrying about my mags running out of gas etc etc.

I will watch this space with -great- interest.

I think the stock would have some nice room for the rig, and you can get the gas to the bolt (if it's king arms style bolt) by drilling a hole on top of the stock.

I wouldn't even mind the rig being on my person. I've just always wanted an HPA VSR-10!
