Fuck ME!
A tank-dump at 2000psi, that was fun. The silencer and chrony did 1044fps. And survived. 😆
So, I’m pretty sure the various seal configurations had been leaking, but I got to a point where I thought no way jose anymore. So it had to be the two holes I’d mistakenly drilled and sealed with brass bungs. I wrapped insulation-tape around those areas and no more leak. Hurrah!
In with Sean’s spring, got 945fps at 1500psi, but only 700 at 2000psi. Made a longer tophat but still no go. Put an extra spacer in, the difference of which was immediately noticeable when I cocked the rifle. I guess I should have put the shorter tophat back in at that point (the longer one has a full 10mm travel). BANG WHOOSH! 😆
So, fingers crossed that with the shorter tophat in I’ll finally be there. At least at 2000psi, not sure what’ll happen at 2500 and 3000. An extra inlet-port might be a good idea, more flow-through for the same tophat-travel.

True that my brother, carry on…
Lang – there are a shit load of people that like my self that have read every post on this form, but they and myself will not post a reply in a thread unless they know exactly what they are talking about. would you rather see the number of views go up with no replies, or you would rather have everyone clog your thread wile talking out their asses about something they have absolutely no expertise in?
my advice to you my friend is to sit back, puff one down and have a beer, patience is but a virtue, someone with some knowledge will get with you soon.
I think you’ve misconstrued the situation. But you’re a nice chap so no worries.
Meanwhile I’ll carry on being controversial, it’s another of my talents. 😆

Lol. The “nicest bunch of people” huh? Who have been studiously ignoring every post I’ve made. How stupid do you think I am? Do you think I’m unable to compare now to before, to how they respond to other peoples equally banal/interesting posts vs mine?
Now don’t get me wrong, I could give a flying fuck. It’s just that having recognized and confirmed the behaviour, and the obvious reasons for it, I thought I’d have me a bit of fun with it too and toot the old horn a bit. 😆 So chill out and don’t take it so seriously. It’s just some more of the old banter between me and the good old boys, having a laff. 😉 😆
Then have yoreself that good laff! post pics of your shite and let us join in eh?
laffin away
Good idea! Post some pics of your shite too, we’ll have us a party. 😆

:3 :3 :3
some more cheese with that whine sir?
Lang, this is where I remind you what I said before; don’t rile people up by attacking them on any level and they will be the nicest bunch of people in the world who will also bend over backwards to help you with whatever you need. I can think of at least a dozen members here who know a HUGE amount about machining parts and entire guns from scratch and all of those people will share their knowledge, but you seem to want to spite yourself.
I had a tank-dump, and I don’t know why? Did you just make that up or what? 😆 And you “told me so” what? Oh, the tank-dump was me falling flat on my face? Gee, I thought ya’ll meant I’d completely fail to find the lathe’s on/off switch or something. Or lose a hand. Or end up with a pile of broken bits instead of a functioning mechanism.
Here’s the news…a fucking child could do this shit. Ok, I’m exagerating. A bit. How about…any reasonably intelligent adult, not put off by fear, intimidation, un-certainty or a lack of confidence? As I predicted right from the beginning (you know, back when some of you up-yourself pricks decided to start giving me a hard time because I failed to tug the forelock). 😆
Hence the silent treatment from the resident children. Smarts, don’t it? I know, it’s hard to man-up and admit when you’re wrong.
So…I guess that regulator’s looking a bit more tasty now, eh? Considering it’ll be no more complex or hard to build than the frigging valve. What’s that…I should go slow and learn the more basic stuff first? Don’t be too cocky? Walk before I can run? Well, I guess the end-cap was walking. The breech was a mild jog. The valve, is that running? Oh no, of course it’s not! That’ll be something like the Wok-Butt, eh? I guess that’s the full Olympic Sprint, huh? 😆 😆 😆
Swallow it. 😆
Lang, you have like no other before you proven how capable you are and such outstanding craftmanship. I bow to you.
oh you had a tank dump …….. and you don’t know why?????…..
maybe we get to tell you ‘I told you so’!!!!!!!
keep going, you’ll get there!
Walter…..
Please, don’t insult my intelligence with futile denials, it’s fucking obvious. And please don’t make the mistake of thinking that my pointing it out is motivated by hostility. It’s not. I’m amused to the point of finding it entertaining, and after giving it plenty of posts to confirm what’s going on I see no reason why I shouldn’t ‘play the game’ as it were and do some poking with my stick. Wink
Damn dude, they let it rest while you continue to beat everyone’s heads in with it. You just wont let it die. Maybe you like the attention?
No, they haven’t let it rest. Duh. 😆 It was actually WK’s stated policy (I’m sure you read it, don’t be coy).
Nobody likes to be proved wrong, least of all by a big-mouthed know-it-all. But the grown-ups get over it, don’t they? I wonder where they’d like to wear my valve…up their collective ass maybe. 😆 😆 😆
Maybe I should go back to the easy stuff, like breeches, that seems to garner some positive response around here (so long as it’s somebody else making them). Or…or…maybe a cocking-knob! 😆
Like I said, it’s a two-way street, so quit whining. Yeah, I know, it really sucks when your intended victim can so articulately identify and call-out the coup. Eh? Does it take all the fun out of it poppet? Boo hoo. 😆
Grow the fuck up. Ya’ll gave it the large how I was talking out my arse and would fall flat on my face. So sorry to disappoint and ram that fallacy up your jacksey. What’s that I hear…the grinding of teeth…? 😆
tell us more about it.

Adam get the popcorn…Tron you bring the beers??
This is going t be a nice show.
But everything aside.
Lang I’m a prety easy going chap or chimp(you pick). But you come here ask a whole lot of questions. Some very knowledging people give you advice. After that a little silence and then you post something in wich you completely ignored all advice people gave you! Why do you think people don’t react on your post. People giving advice you asked for like to see some gradetude by seeing some of there advice in your design. If not using someones advice and not mentioning why you don’t is a bit like a slap in the face.
Then you make post number X using strong language. That does not look like adult behaviour!
People here don’t tiptoe around trying to tell you to chill. They tell how it is. I for one like that and as far as I can tell a lot of people do!
Adam, Tron, Walter, CygnusX, YN etc etc etc give great advice. And they are greatfull of knowledge given. IMHO this is a great place to GIVE and receive knowledge.
So keep off the smack and chill man
Cheers!!
Marc
