@carlman... nahhh this can't be true - he seems quite normal :wink:

@mitch wow nice tee... how are you going to add detents to keep ammo in place ?? I suggest cutting the tube into 3 pieces and putting 2 orings between the three pieces and sleeving the whole into the T...
I think I might have something worth showing....

What the f*** is an Aus?

Nice updated breech, Mitch. Looks like it is working good.

But why didn't you just wait an additional day to post the finished gun? :wink:

Hey guys,

Aussie's couldn't be anything further from normal. Living in a bloody big island for so many years so far away from anything will do that to us :D.

Poland, The ammo doesn't roll out the back because of the nail in the back, and it doesn't roll forward because I just got a hammer and nail, put a very light dent in the barrel.

Carlman, nah mate it's pretty much the perfect fit. Without any sealing of any type (eg o rings) it's pretty close to being air tight. Of course it's slightly sleaky but I can't see it creating any poor performance. Pretty bloody lucky I tell ya. I'm going to get some very small hose clamps, plus them on a barrel at a certain point to keep it right where I want it, and use it as a revolving breach.........If not pump action :D.

Mark.F, I was planning on leaving the gun the way it was but I just had this idea come out of nowhere so I just had to give it a go. I'm glad I did.

HAHA i second that



Your gonna have to upgrade that trigger spring bro, that 30bar shock pump I'm sending ya will certainly render the current one useless. Perhaps a 350chev valve spring might be more what you need.

Very nice piece of work you have there man, you should be proud.

He's back! Hahaha that it will mate. I think I may have to make a custom blowgun or go back to using my ball valve.

Thanks mate :D

I'll put my vote down on some kind of modified one way valve thats spring loaded, a hammer valve in a sense.

That breech is a brilliant idea.
Anything that makes loading easier is a winner.
