Bad news. I won't be able to work on the gun more until the snow melts or it gets a little warmer, since I don't want to go out to my freezing ass barn to just use power tools, which would help me get smoother cuts.
By the way Hilt, the shell stop is a u-shaped piece, one end under the carrier, the other in the magtube. When the carrier is pushed down, so is one end of the U shaped piece, meaning the other end is pushed down as well, letting another shell into the carrier. When the carrier goes up, so does the u-shape piece, stopping any shells from leaving the magtube. I'll try to get a paint picture up.

Well, you might be able to best me at that, as I might use 1 1/4" PVC. We'll see how it goes. If I can shorten the bolt, than by all means I will, and it will save me valuable space. As of now, my only concern is length. When fully put together, the gun is about 3 1/2" feet long. I'm working on ways to try and shorten it, and using a shorter bolt and smaller reciever isn't a bad idea.

Well everyone, I've solved the problem of the extractor/ejector. It's a durable, solid system, and I believe it's never been done before, so here we go:
The extractor (minus the ejector tab, just have to glue it in.)
What you see is the E/E in it's 3/4" PVC shell. The 1/2" CPVC acts as the ejector. Here's a better look.
There is 3/4 of a RFR magazine spring stuffed in there, pushing the ejector (CPVC) outwards. The CPVC was cut so only about 1/4 of the circumference acts as the ejector pin. The screw in the side is in a slot, preventing the CPVC from shooting out of the tube. What do you guys think?
As for the overall progress, only the lower reciever is left, and with Boltsniper's trigger plate system, it shouldn't take too long.
By the way, I need a suggestion for a good main action spring. I know everyone uses AR-15 springs, but since they are legally a weapon part, I may not be able to obtain one, due to my age. Does anyone have any other identical yet un-paramilitary springs?

Sorry for the double post, but the FAR extractor/ejector isn't working, since there isn't enough room in the bolt to drill a hole for the spring and ejector pin. Can anyone here give me another idea?

Well everyone, I'm off to get supplies. So far, I've decided:
-I'm going to use something like the FAR bolt, except scaled down to use 1/2" PVC shells. This shouldn't be a problem, however.
-The carrier will push down a tab that lets the shell pass out of the magtube, and when the carrier is raised, the tab is raised as well, preventing another shell from working itself under the carrier and jamming the gun.
-My plunger will not be inside of the bolt, meaning the bolt will be smaller and easier to use. The whole outer reciever will be 1" thinwall, making the gun smaller than other prototypes, which for the most part used 1 1/4" PVC.
Questions? Comments? Concerns?

Almost 2 years now? Damn, I've been away too long.
Well, I haven't posted in over a year, but my progress (yes, progress) on the shotgun, brings me back to the forums.
I've actually got the magtube and carrier built, and both work well. I originally started with Flaming Hilt's design, so I thank him for that. I'll have pictures up later. I'm quite busy building the thing right now.
Questions:
What's a good way to make sure you have a good seal with the plunger? In other words, what's the best way to attach o-rings to the plunger head?
Also, should I go with Boltsnipers FAR extractor/ejector, or come up with something new to extract/eject the shells? I suppose since my bolt is alot like Boltsnipers, I should use his system.
Please post, I wanna see some feedback.

Here's my two cents.
I bought a BAR-10 G-Spec off of Airsoft Atlanta the other day. Relatively fast shipping, and I got it for 40 bucks under prices on other sites. Came with a scope and everything.
Also, don't buy from dentrinity. They have cheaper prices, but since they're based in Hong Kong, the shippings around $30-$40.

It's just a question I've been wondering forever.
Is a gun worth more if it's stock, or if it's been modified. I know some people pay high for good modifications like Angel's LS, but if you mod the gun, it's cutting down it's value, as it's not original anymore.
Opinions, questions, answers, flames?
Screw the flames.

After looking at how some craftsman use vacuumform tables to make certain types of projects, some being armor and costumes, I was thinking that stock shells from guns could be made, detailed, and used. Just use each half of the gun as a mold, and when both halves are completed, drill holes and screw them together. Plastics could be places on the inside of the gun for the inner structure, and essentially, you could replicate one of Nerf's original blasters. Even the Crossbow.
Again, just a thought. By the way, these probably couldn't be sold, due to copyrighting issues against Hasbro, so they'd have to be for personal use.

Just because something has a backwards to forwards motion doeesn't make it a bullpup breech. The LS has that motion, and it's not a Bullpup. People consider things to be a bullpup design when the magazine is located behind the grip.

No offense, but I believe I have a "better" diagram.
You have alot of flaws in your diagram. One of them is that the dart is just sitting in the barrel before the barrel/bolt is even moved back.
Captain Slug, I have a way of getting around darts being pushed into the plunger chamber. It'll be in the finished product, so bear with me.

To keep it shaped right, I was thinking of layering some 1 1/4" PVC pieces to a certain thickness, gluing them, and sanding them down to the proper shape. The craft foam is a good idea. I'll have to use that.

As I've said earlier in the thread, I am a traditionalist, and want to keep the guns the same as they are in real life. I also think that bolt action is cooler. Too many people think slapping a pump on a gun is the best thing ever.

Thanks Prometheus.
Also, Chanclas, look at the NTS part picture again. Notice how Boltsniper labeled the two feeding parts the barrel and bolt, not the barrel/bolt. They're two different pieces. Mines only one.
Spectre: Cool. Cool thing is they'll be cheap and easy to make. Probably only around $15-$25 dollars a gun. Not as much as some people would charge for a SCAR-N or FAR.
But note that this probably won't even be close to available for purchase for quite some time. It has to be built, tested, analyzed, and have it's stage of general warring and shooting until I can find time to build these for the public.
Plus it's school season. Gotta keep the grades up.

If anyone hasn't noticed this, if you just attached a pump to the lever, you'd have to move the pump forward, than backwards, not the traditional backwards, than forwards motion, like on a real shotgun.

The FAMAS was what this gun was based on, which is why I incorporated the bolt handle to be on top rather than on the sides.
Primevils right, this could be pump action, but I prefer bolt action, just because I'm a traditionalist to the weapons I base my designs off of.
The main problem I'm seeing is getting everything to line up correctly. Lots of precision measurements are up ahead, so let's hope I don't screw it up.

What I forgot to mention was that the feed lips on the magazine lock around the barrel/bolt, so the barrel/bolts slides within it, making it more stable.
I've already got parts of the barrel done, the main reciever cut, and a few other parts. I hope I can get it done soon.

Here's my design for the Frequent Assault Massive Action Shitlauncher (FAMAS). I scribbled it down in paint to show everyone, so it may not be 100% complete, but the basic idea is there.
I believe my design tinkers with something new. The bolt and the barrel are one piece. The barrel moevs backwards, pushing back the plunger to the catch (not shown), and also allows the breech, which is the hole shown with a red line on the brass, to recieve a new dart. Then the barrel/bolt is moved forward into firing position. Behind the opening of the breech will be some sort of bolt piece to keep the dart moving forward, not backwards, in the barrel. The large blue piece around the breech opening is the sheath, to keep the breech covered when a dart is chambered. Prototyping begins tonight. Any questions?

Admin: Don't do that. This is your only warning.
What I see is that it wouldn't be their only warning. It'd be their second, since the first was in the Code of Conduct.
Maybe if there was some sort of quiz on the site rules. Results could be emailed directly to admins, and if the new member's score was too low, then they wouldn't be accepted as a new member.

I've came upon this idea as something convenient I've wanted to do for a while, but never got around to.
Basically, it's a book themed after the better, more popular mods in the Modification Directory. It'd be a book with many of the mods in the directory, also with tips, hints, and suggestions. It's mainly so you don't have to come up to your computer every time you want to do a mod, and need to know what the next step is. I'd type it up, and have it available for download, so you can print it out yourself.
I just wanted to ask if anyone had a problem with this, or if they didn't want their mod in the book for Copyright reasons or something like that. I would put who did the mod, so credit isn't an issue. Also, I wouldn't sell this, so I wouldn't be making money off the NIC's mods.
Would anyone be interested?
