Regular Vortex Block Size (For a strafer)

As I said in my other post, I am making a Strafer, but, I would like to know the dimensions of a vortex block. It is a 6mm airsoft gun. I will be using a stainless steel barrel, but that doesn't matter.. I don't need the hole sizes, I just need to know where to cut. Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but htis is just my first gun. Oh yeah, if this was posted somewhere else, please direct me there. I have already been on burntlatke.com and it sounded like his dimensions were for a standerd metal bb/pelet gun...

Thank you for and replies
Mac man

PS I have already used the search function on the boards, and it didn't find anything other than an inline.

So this is or isn't an inline block?
If so, it depends on the pipe size.
If not, why not an inline block? They're easier and cheaper to make, and usually last longer because people make "normal" blocks from Bondo, which is a weak and crappy material in general.

It is made out of mostly 3/4" PVC with a 2" T for the loading thingy...
I am making the mblock out of aluminum... I might use stainless steel if aluminum isn't good enough... It is not an inline by the way... As for why, I like the look of the loader/Tee thing...

this should not be your fist gun if you need this much help on how to make a easy to make vortext block, they have to be the easiest things to make. you should start out with somthin more easy like a combustion not a bbmg.

Dude, shut up, I ain't retarted... I just want to know some dimensions. So, if you have nothing to add to the topic, DON'T POST! Seeing as though you are just posting to criticize people... Stay out of the topic.

look down the bottom in the drop down menu, go to BB machine gun. that is how to make a strafer exactly like you are. it should have dimensions on it

make the block to burntlatke`s specs but open up the bb exit port to 6mm and use 9/32 brakline for the barrel thts all that has to be changed
