16 mm ID barrel length one meter
28mm OD chamber 330mm long
valve: qev
pilot valve: modefied kind of blowgun
fill: bike tire valve

Mooi
Zoiets heb ik nu ook liggen, zelfde QEV en loop, maar dan op meer dan dubbel zoveel druk xD
Toevallig ook van brian the brain wat onderdelen gekocht?
How are you connecting the blowgun? Beware of extra pilot volume when adding hose.
@POLAND_SPUD
Its an aluminum barrel. They are perfect for marbles. The fit is so tight that some 16mm marbles do not fit in and others do.

Glad to see it worked out!
My suggestion would be to get a smaller T in the back to keep the pilot volume to a minimum.
I would flip the chamber to the front and build a wooden shoulderstock for it.
I believe I've seen that QEv and barrel before

I will use a pressure hose and don't care about the pilot volume since power is more then enough for me
when a scope is mounted it's most for accuracy and ergonomics
a wooden stock:P
I was thinking of that , I might make one

Wow I cant believe no one has blown up on him for calling it a sniper yet. Personally I don't care but it seems to be a very common argument. Well any way nice gun. It is very clean. I can't wait for some damage pictures.

I like it. The more guns i see along these lines the more i want to make one. It would give my pancake compressor something to to besides fill tires.

Stock and scope, then you have a sweet gun, even if the stock is pipe, its overdone, but it works.
It looks like a nice piece of work, and I really look forward to seeing it all dressed up and nice.

i like the clean look of your gun. i think i'm going to build one for next build.
however i have a question - the blow valve i've been using is rated @ 90psi with the common modified sprinkler valve for trigger setup.
what are the parts for your awesome trigger setup? and what psi are you filling the chamber up too?
i have lots of copper piping sitting around that i could use to make this.
