Hey guys, all i got to say is that i was searching my dads hardware store trying to find something that would fit on 1.5inch pipe for a 1.5n piston valve and i luckily found a Karman Rubber Vibro Insulator. Pics

ill post my gun after some shots ^^ to get damage pics.

well the piston has a conical shape, i chose the conical one because its a little bit lighter than the cylindrical ones, the outer diameter is 1.5inch (exact!) and when it reaches 30psi starts to fill the chamber.

I was thinking about trying a similar hardware store gadget for sealing... I had also considered using a tapered faucet washer for a 1/2 inch copper barrel...

Looks like a plug for a chemistry flask, those would work too if you sealed the hole in the middle.
