DONT USE SCREWS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! They suck, there is a better way. If you mess up using screws you will have to bend them to set the gap correctly and that sucks. Try this instead, and here's a pic to clarify. Use 10-24 x 3/4 machine bolt and nut and 3-wire house hold wiring. 1. The machine bolt can be...

Just a fore thought for you. I have always painted my guns. I personally use Duplicolor primer and paint. I prime several layers, sanding in between, followed by several light coats of paint to build the color and always finish with a clear coat . . . lots of it, like on a car. A good paint job take...

Now you've done it . . . . you started the solid core / cell core debate. Solid core PVC is significantly more expensive but pressure rated. NECESSARY for pneumatics. I have personally ONLY used cell core PVC chambers in my guns and have never had a chamber failure, I had one of my solid core barrel...

I hadn't heard of that one before jjjd . . . I'm going to have to give that one a run !! Would you say it works better than Tag / old Right Guard? That's pretty much all I use. Occasionally I've used 91% isopropyl sprayed in a fine mist into the chamber, which works pretty good, but I stick to old f...

Seriously Ecko, go get a can of Tag body spray. Save yourself the frustration. Everything about Tag is flammable. My chambers are 4x18 and I use about a 2.5 second blast with a spud loaded. BBQ ignitor. Boom. To get consistant (any) shots you've got to start with a good fuel and fuel air mixture.

The real funny thing is, no, I don't own a Harley . . . I like Jap-bikes! I have a Honda in the garage and a Toyota in the driveway. I always have preferred the Japanese cruisers over Harleys. Lower cost, lower maintenance, great look and great performance. Hay drac, was your HD gun a hybrid?

Looking down the chamber is the dual ignition and all of the wiring for it. I like puting the wires on the inside, it keeps the look clean and the combistion doesn't really last long enough to damage the wiring. I've been using the solid copper wiring for a while now. After a few uses the ignition p...

Here's a close-up of the chamber. You can see the ignition screws better in this pic.

The Harley Davidson Tribute Cannon

This spudgun was actually built as a gift for my uncle who has been riding for years. He's way into Harleys and I thought a spudgun themed that way would be pretty cool. It'll make a perfect Christmas present. The combustion chamber is 18" x 4" with dual ignition points all internally wired with sol...
