LOL!! i got it for 3 dollars on amazon.com. i look forward to seeing your qev sniper.

Update on testing- I got my bike pump to work, i have to pump very slowly and carefully i got it up to about 70 psi, but the equalization hole is very small and it equalizes very slowly, which i didnt realize untill i shot it and only got a 12g CO2 cartridge about 3 feet.

@salty- dont worry ittl look like the general lee before too much longer.

I got mine for $.01 cents on amazon, I used my gift card on it too so it was free. Because my bank is stupid and gave me 200 dollars and so did amazon, when I was only owed 200. I got 400 collectively, so I bought 200 dollars of stuff on amazon and kept the 200 my bank gave me for gas.

Well, i found my bike pump, but it started tarding out, and wont pump past about 20 psi, plus my parental units are too cheap to buy me an air compressor. so i have to wait till my neighbor is back to borrow his.
Snap, my "parental units" wont either :cry:
That pirate flag sounds freaken awesome, wana post a pic?
Why dont you increase the size of your equalisation hole to increase speed?

Well the propblem with the equilization hole is that i drilled it to close to the center and it is closed off by the rubber seal and pressure from being shoved against the barrel. so right now im really wishing i had made a serviceable piston. :(

Oh yeah, you cemented it in, didnt you. That kinda sucks. I guess you can only learn for next time... so start building! Haha, no, what are you going to do, cut it up to change the piston or just leave it?
