I’m planning to use them for my build but don’t know what to expect from them.

Thanks

Yup, cheap Chinese carbide strikes again! I think it would be wrong to use the proper tool for a job so I try to find something that is only marginally capable of functioning and press it into a totally unintended situation 😆

I tried the Angle method last night and it worked out great. I only had a 3/4″ bit to work with and trial and error led me to an angle of around 32.5 degrees.

While not perfect it’s “close enough for me. Since my cross slide vice has limited travel I…Read more

I’m planning a similar safety setup but with a secondary sear similar to the stock one and the safety acting on the secondary lever so it is closer to the grip.

Well I managed to cut in the loading/cocking port on my body tube. My drill press was none too happy with it’s responsibility’s as a milling machine and chose to show its displeasure by cutting erratically and sloppily. Fortunately I stopped my cuts short of my desired outline on all but one side. The bushing side cut did…Read more

I was unsure how I’d deal with cutting the radius on my build, now I have multiple plans of attack!

Does you Foster male fitting have built in check valve?

Yup, it’s the simple shouldered pin with an O-ring check valve method. I hadn’t thought about the check valve pin contacting the valve return spring during filling, I’m thinking I’ll give it a try and if it pushed…Read more

Ok, so my valve works 😀

I just managed to fab up the stem seal and gave it a low pressure test. Apart from a minor leak past the valve seat until pressure builds enough to seal it, it seems to work. Time will tell if it passes enough gas to do the job, things are looking mighty tight in there…

I still have to…Read more

A bit of searching online seemed to indicate that .002 to .004 was typical for interference fits for bearings and such, so I went with the high end thinking that aluminum would expand more than steel and permit the extra .001″. I’m planning on anchoring the rail and trigger block through the tube…Read more

I noticed that they sell just the tank for a reasonable price ($36-46USD). I figured If I want to go PCP down the line one of these tanks, I make my own valve and I’m good to go for a much better price than an AF tank (~$180USD).

I’m happy for any info you might have Buba b, I’ll PM you my E-mail addy.

Sorry if I seemed impatient for the info Randyhub (I PM’ed him on another forum for the info), I had a feeling you were busy and I was hung up on the measurement and didn’t want to make a bad cut after a full day’s work on the valve body. Don’t pull your…Read more

A while ago I got a 10×18 hobby lathe and am now confident enough with my skills to tackle my first scratch build. After seeing pic’s of Buba b’s stealth build I had to give it a go. I have never seen an AF gun in person so I’m relying on images and info I glean off the net.

My plan is for a CO2 powered version and I’m trying to build a…Read more
