@wyz, I probably won't use the rotating hammer, I just thought I'd try it and it worked haha

I'm making the inline today.
@warhead, not sure what you mean there.

An AK47 uses a rotating hammer internally to fire, so essentially you could just add a gas ram or something, and have that reset the hammer and you would have a full auto mechanism.
On another note, nice job on the inline striker! (I can believe it has the most reliability in the state

)

Meh, there are easier ways.
I just have to epoxy the trigger mech to the striker housing and then it should be easy to mount to the chamber.

Gun Freak, I really like your work on this. I'm surprised at the performance of a little 2-way valve like the one you're using and you've inspired to try it out.
It's McMaster Part#6790T42 by the way right? From your pictures it looks like the Clippard MJV-2... which, directly from Clippard does not come with that nice add-on button. This is a great deal.

Thank you! I myself was inspired by Lockednloaded who made a higher pressure version of this. It is indeed an MJV-2, I was really excited when I got it because I didn't know it was a Clippard product (they don't label it as such on McMaster). And you're right it does come with the nice button that wouldn't come with it if you bought it directly from Clippard. I won't even get into their ridiculous shipping & handling. Not sure on the part number, it's just the low profile two way 1/8" NPT port push button valve. I could have just made my own valve, but this thing is so compact and looks really nice, not to mention I wouldn't have to worry about leaks or reliability, so I just bought one.
