Well I am working on making a different way to route the air hose in the rifle, and I figured I would snap some pictures of the system so you guys can see what the internals look like. And to be quite honest...... I can't for the life of me figure out how the system works.

The air hose goes into the rear of the system. The first picture, just ignore the extender and the 90* bend and put the bite fitting in the end of the system. This is where the air will come into the system, and will come usually out of the butt stock. Though for me I wanted to run the hose else where, so I am going to fit the extender and the 90* bend into the rifle and run the hose out of the pistol grip. The extender is a little fat to fit into the system, so I am going to have to turn it down a little bit on my lathe, and after that everything should be golden!

I have a new air rig coming for it, so as soon as I get that I will get some pictures of the completed rifle.

The trigger pulls the valve knocker forward, ready to expel the air, and then releases it, hitting a pressure valve which the releases said air. It is really consistent because there is an expansion chamber in the valve itself, and the pressure has a chance to equalize.

Woogie are you sure you want to use this instead of the Kuba?
This looks more complicated, but more elegant!

This doesn't look that hard to make either though, and honestly would rather this as there are no electronics



But I was able to get the buffer tube attached to the rifle nice and solid. We have some really nice epoxy at work that will bond the material together just about as strong as the aluminum. It is down in my basement curing and should be ready by next week. ( Aluminum has a tear strength of around 4500 lbs, the epoxy has a tear strength of 3600 lbs )

You should talk to someone about machining all those parts and making kits for other guns.

Someone like Cheese? :shot:

 

[goldentrigun]

Haha like cheese. You need to pay someone to get dims and program though.

I have access to a lathe as well, and would be able to make this engine fairly easy.

 

[goldentrigun]

Have you tried to do threading on a lathe? It's kind of scary lol.

 

[woogie]

It is actually fairly easy to do


Just need to know how to do it.

 

[Cheese Man]

Actually, Woogie's lathe is better for this kind of stuff than mine... I will be buying one of these kits from woogie, if he ends up making one.

 

[wyvernfist]

Let me know when you're making em.

 

[woogie]

I have drill this weekend, so I am going to be on my computer quite a bit. I am going to be getting some pricing and everything as well.

I know the original is made out of Brass, but I was going to see what would happen if you were to make the parts out of different materials. Was thinking about aluminum, delrin, stainless, and a possible combo of the materials.


When I get things figured out I will let you guys know for sure.

 

[Cheese Man]

I was thinking, what about using a solenoid to move the valve? That way you don't have the atrocious trigger pull...

 

[Wolfgeorge]

You could do that but you'll have to mess again with electronics.

If the system is consistent enough then let it, I haven't use one so I don't know how bad or heavy the trigger is but I don't think it would be worst than the Sun Project M40!!!

[Cheese Man]

The trigger is atrocious... I was just thinking a simple wire coil to pull the current valve knocker back. It wouldn't even be that hard, and you could hold it in the current casing.

Besides, you could run the wires up your HPA rig and just have a battery in your backpack... Actually, I need to get working on this...

 

[woogie]

Trigger isn't all that bad, have used rifles with much worse.

 

[Cheese Man]

Yeah, like the M24. HOLY CRAP!

 

[Wolfgeorge]

Wait to handle the SP M40... !!
