Why don't you just put the T fitting directly on the back and mount the blowgun upside down?
I think the hose with clamps is the limiting factor to higher pressure.
Nice work though.

I'm not much of a fan of those sorta blow guns. No doubt I'd get a smaller pilot volume but the gun blow gun I use has a hell of alot of flow.

But the main reason for the pistol blowgun, is the nipple I use, its the perfect fit the piston I use, I havn't been able to find any store bought rubber pistons that fit so well in any other fitting.

Thats a nice looking gun. Its so clean and ergonomic. It just looks so pretty. If its not a secret how much did all of it cost and where did you get that blowgun?

Mitch,

Well done, another looker. The quick connect was a good idea. What about sights? Maybe a ring front and back? That's what I'll be trying. Should give decent "there abouts" accuracy. :D

WOW Holy pile of comments :D

Felex, It's hard to say because I recycle parts off my guns and just pick up what I need but this gun wouldn't be cheap. I reckon close to 85 bucks. The pump would cost maybe 40-50. Not bad for something that could blow a hole in a horses arse :D

Gipeddo, sights are definately on the cards as the next thing to wack on this gun. It should be good. How's your gun coming along?

Cheers for the comments guys, I really appreciate it. I'll have to get some damage pic's for ya's :D

As to be expected with small bore guns mate :( That's why I make em out of steel so if I ever wanna get some decent power, I'm able to safely crack up the pressure.

UPDATE....I need a silencer......Thing thing is twice as loud as a large framing nail gun... :shock:
