Hey all, it been a while since my last post!

Thanks for kind words that continue to come in. I just shot this gun for the first time in months, but it still looks and performs as good as it did when I first made it. -Lp

On your design you have a Bell Reducer for the barrel to connect to the valve, Bell Reducers are not pressure rated please use a Bushing instead. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the bell reducer is placed after the valve, it shouldn't be a problem. The gas is pent up behind the reducer, and upon re...

Well I modded the exact same model, and used the bleed screw hole. Careful drilling and a little tlc and she's air tight. I used JB Weld around the threads before screwing in. The next time I might try going in from the center, but there is the issue of the guide rod. Anywho, I just thought I'd shar...

Re: Pressure rated fittings

Hello again. How is one to find a pressure rated fitting if every fitting threatens death if it's used for a spudgun?? Thanks again. I don't know where you live, but in America we have a Lowe's. Lowe's sells pressure rated pvc pipe and fittings. The pressure rated fittings and pipe are labeled NSF-...

Thanks aturner! My original thoughs while making this barrel were of throwing it into a blast furnace, but patience payed off in the end.

I thinking that it did bind ever so slightly, but it was the sharp blow from the 10lb mull that sent pieces a-flying! -Lp

I thought I would share my experience again with 2" s40 pvc golf ball barrel sleeving. I used the plans by Foxx and had a devil of a time. I made my cuts on a table saw which I had to cut and re-cut again until I was happy with the fit. I utilized hose clamps (2) to hold the cut pipe tightly togethe...
