I've picked up a San Jia Winchester 1892 (clone of Marushin's rifle, I believe) to use as a sniper rifle or designated marksman rifle. I intend to convert it to run on CO2 for greater consistency. The gun shoots 540 on green gas at the moment.

Last night I disassembled the rifle to get a nice look at the innards, which you can see on the second video (his disassembly, not mine). I re-taped the point where the gas in the reservoir enters the intake area with Teflon tape to improve the seal. I should probably pick up some lubricant to help the O-rings do their thing. Silicon gel, not spray, right?
At any rate, I plan on running a gas line into the gas intake, which would obviate the need for the leak-prone gas reservoir the rifle currently uses. That gas line would run to a Palmer's female stabilizer, to a tank extender, to a madbull regulator, to a madbull co2 changer. That gas rig will be slung under the barrel, where the gas tube is currently. With the exception of the gas line running off the Palmer's stab, everything is connected by threads and should be fairly secure. My goal is to get the consistency of an external gas rig, with the rig mounted on the gun (quasi-internally).
I'll get some pictures up once my wife frees up some space in our camera.
I'd appreciate feedback,comments, suggestions, etc.
