Looks nice and pricey cause of brass. The look reminds me of a "French QEV" or as they like to call it.

Nice job

Yea it sounds good. I wish i even experimented with a hybrid. But due to my procrastination, i still have to build a stirrup pump, fix up my big gun cause it has quite some leaks so i might just rebuild it better, i need to fix up my copper gun and finish my new combustion as well. Then, maybe ill g...

Well let me be one to tell you that usually spudders dont make a list of materials on the internet, they simply just post their creations with specifics. You really dont need a list. I would just look at his pictures and do some creative thinking. If you get acquainted with other bbmgs, you will see...

I actually forgot to consider that. I remember maxus painting his copper cannon.

I was just wondering about the safety factor first, and thanks for your input. I know that acid would clean this off, HCL, or whatever polish/cleaner you want to use, i just wasnt sure of names cause i never had to do this before. The weather here in the summer is mostly good. The reason why it is t...

Thanks, just curious. I knew it really wouldnt hinder its performance, but its better to be sure than not. I wonder how much would need to be tarnished in order for its strength to be diminished.

Does tarnish affect copper's strength?

Title pretty much says it all.

It is winter over here and some of my copper chamber and barrel have begun to oxidize, tarnish. So i was just wondering is it hinders the strength of my chamber. Also, what would be a good way to get rid of it? Polish or sanding i presume?

Assuming you start out with a real air load, the first X, for every X after that, and assuming a stoichiometric O2 meter, you would need 5 times the per X volume of propane, and about 4.8 times the per X volume of MAPP. Does that make any sense? Edit: I believe the balance equation is: C3H8 + 5O2 =...
