Hey I like your design and it looks like its going to turn out to be a really nice cannon. But I think it would look cooler if you flipped the stock around like this... but just substitute the valveb for whatever valve your using...

No problem man

[NoXi]

lol, you helped me the most Acdmonkey.... :sarcasm:

How much did the parts cost you? I've been thinking about making a copper gun because they look cooler and are safer, but copper costs and arm and a leg.

[NoXi]

at home depot, they sell 5 feet sections and 10 ft sections so i bought 5 ft for 13 bucks. All i had to buy was 3/4" copper pipe for 13, 90* for 97 cents each, tee for like 1.78, end cap for .79 , ball valve for 8, gauge for 8, and thats about it. I already had 1/2 copper pipe so ya. so it came out as like 41 bucks total.

Did you remember to get a schrader for your chamber?

[NoXi]

well i jus got it off a old bike tire and i put jb weld on it right now so it is drying right now

[Jumpin Jehosaphat]

That should work, but may leak. That is the same thing I used on my cannon, and it barely leaks, but I may just replace it with a threaded fitting if I ever find one or get around to it.

[NoXi]

oh, where would i find a threaded schrader valve

edit:: I just bought one on BCARMs. for 7.65 including shipping

Tubeless tire valves (teardrop shaped) are actually better and more readily available than their threaded cousins.

Basically just pull the narrow end through, that way the pressure actually helps it seal better.

A sprinkler valve is very easy to modify.

1. Drill a hole in the center of the valve, you can take the cover off to avoid drilling into the diaphragm.

2. Screw a close nipple with some teflon tape into the hole you just made. You may have to trim a bit off the end of the nipple so it doesnt obstruct the diaphragm.

3.Screw your general pipe fittings onto the end of the close nipple. I used a 90 Degree elbow and a blowgun.

4. Remove the solenoid and fill the hole with JB Weld.

sorry but that is not true, i nearly had one pop out of its hole into my hand, they are only rated to 60psi

[NoXi]

how much are threaded ones rated for?
