Reducing a 3/4" barrel to 1/4"


A 1/4 hole in a 2" piece of 3/4" dowel, a groove, an O ring, epoxy.

The 1/4" tube/piston goes into the 3/4" barrel.

A split dowel at the muzzle, a strong piece of Nylon reinforced hose and a pair of hose clamps, fixes the 1/4" barrel to the main chamber.

This technique could be used for almost any air cannon.

If I blow into the 1/4" tube, the 3/4" piston and 'arrow' is easily forced out of the 3/4" Type M tube. This movement indicates good seals and sliding smoothness.

Take two of these for the strength of soldered fittings.

3/4 to 1/2 and 1/2 to 1/4.

Thanks,

I agree, but I am in the testing stage of a slingairgun.

I need to determine the distance from the end of the piston stroke to the barrel breech.

I need to trombone it.

In my slingairgun there is no built up pressure to be concerned about.

Once all length are determined, I will go to a soldered or a screw barrel attachment.

What I have for experimenting is perfect for my needs.
