Help!, cant find a specific thread

I seen a thread on here about 2 weeks ago and ive tried for days to find the thread, some member on here knocked together a 6mm pneumatic that was basic but nice. Consisting of 1/4" QEV, Chamber,Blowgun,Barrel , simply muzzle loaded ,ive just made a gun exactly the same but it doesn't fire??. Im guessing I need to drill an exhaust hole in the Blowgun so the gun can vent and trigger the qev to fire

From memory the Blowgun used was just like mine too , Cobalt Blue in colour( if that's any help?) , the input port of the QEV had a T Fitting on it that screwed into the Blowguns nozzle, the down facing port on that T Fitting had a rubber hose attached to it that then attatched to the fill port on the Blowgun.

Can someone link me to that Thread cause I just can not find it!!!???

Well Ive made the gun wrong in some way cause it doesn't work right?.

First of all when I tried it, I hooked it up and the air was just pissing out the exhaust hole I drilled in the blowgun, I then welded the centre hole on the nipple connecting the Blowgun to the T Fitting that screws onto the Blowguns nozzle.

Now it doesn't leak when connected but pull the trigger and the air just comes out the exhaust hole on the blowgun and the Qev doesn't fire. If I disconnect or connect the airline ,then the qev fires and only then?.

Its hard to explain the set up but will have to try get pics up.

I'll try explain the configuration=

Bottom of the blowgun handle is a Brass T Fitting screwed on ,the rear port of the T Fitting has the Male Airline fitting on it, the other port on the T Fitting has a hose barb screwed into it ,this barb has an airhose on it that runs up to another T Fitting and Hose Barb that's screwed onto the Nozzle of the blowgun.

The front port of that T Fitting is screwed into the QEV Valve , Air Chamber is hooked onto the down facing port on the QEV and the Barrel Screwed onto the Front facing port of the Qev Valve..

I found the pics / info I was looking for!! , It was on the ELEPHANT RIFLE thread but the gun I was thinking about was Lockedandloaded's one. Mine is pretty much the same but My Air in is on a T Fitting at the bottom of the Blowgun, not on the T Fitting screwed into the Blowgun's Nozzle.

So I don't know what the problem is??

You should put epoxy between blowgun and t fitting so air cant go from t fitting to blowgun output and drill holes to blowgun output

I did!...I welded up the inside of the Nipple that joints the T Fitting to the Blowgun output and drilled an exhaust hole on the Blowguns output .All it did was vent air out the hole I drilled when you pull the trigger and the qev didn't fire.I gave up on it and now working on a small Bullpup airgun using a set up I used before on my "BULLPUP 9" gun, ie Qev and 3 way Poppet valve.This one will shoot 6mm Steel bbs instead of 9mm( too pricey!)

Is the qev on backwards?

Stupid mistakes can sneak up on you
