WIP: 1.5" Porting Handheld Piston Hybrid (DAMAGE VIDS)
Not meaning to kick this up again, but any progress? This is incredibly useful and teaching for me... I was in the process of redoing my burst disk hybrid, but may have to go for piston instead now thanks to you.
I'm going to have to ask for some help in regards to a piston. I cannot get ABS around me, and my machining capabilities are extremely limited. I could turn a wood one, but I doubt that would hold up to the pressures necessary, and I don't want to use PVC. way too brittle.
Any advice would be superb. I leave for college next week and am planning an all-day build session to get this thing built and working Sunday.

Lol love the pic for JSR 8)
Those pictures were actually very nice, don't know what you're talking about!
The gun looks really good! Probably in the top three hybrids on the site!

Awesome thanks! THe threaded rod option was what I was considering, glad to see its working. Yea I'll be able to post-- I leave on the 14th. Hope to get some fiddly work done tomorrow/friday like leak testing the chamber and such so Sunday I can focus on the valve and getting that to seal and work properly as that will most likely be a b!tch. I'll start a thread tomorrow.
Thanks SB15
Thanks SB15
Planning on a valve in 1.25" pipe, smaller than yours. Also plan on a simpler pilot air injection for now, similar to what you had at first just to keep it simple to build in a limited time.
Hijack over, sweet cannon! Thanks once again for all the advice.

Have to say it again, this gun is so damn nice..
But it do look overly complex, why don't you have a external propane meter?
The fittings and such looks good but I like to keep things simple to avoid confusion while fueling.
Also, that piston looks EXACTLY like the one I am going to use in my hybrid. Nice to get a confirmation that it will work
