The Red Star Breech, Anyone Interested in Buying these? Options

[Red Star]

Alright, So Due to some requests I'll be posting a Write up for my Breech on my Big Rad Bow Dubbed Red Star Breech.

So what you'll need:

1/2 CPVC about 5-6 inches
3/4 CPVC about 4-5 inches
Pipe Cutter
1/2 - 3-4 Coupler
1/2 coupler
E-Tape
Dremel/Hacksaw

Alright so here's the project:

What you'll need to do is get about 5 inches of 3/4 inch Cpvc,
Create a Box such like this: about 1/2 inch above the bottom of the pipe.

Cut that out with a Dremel/Hacksaw
Add that 1/2-3/4 Coupler to the bottom of the pipe you just cut like this:

Now take your other pipe and whatever length you cut your 3/4 pipe at add 1 inch to it and cut like so

Add E-tape in Different places to create Tight seals.( This is not needed, You only Need a layer at the bottom to create a seal.) Like so:

Throw that onto your BBB you just modded or any other 1/2 CPVC'd modded gun and you will be ready to Nerf another day!

Post any questions that you have!

Thanks for the write up.
Ill most likely be doing this.
I wish it could be cleaner without so much e tape.

[Red Star]

It Can be. You only need the One at the bottom. I added so much So It wouldn't fall out so easy.

Edit: If I feel bored within the next half hour I'll go outside and Paint it. Either: Red,Black,Gold, Or Silver. I might just have to make some more of these.

Double Edit: Totally Forgot it was Extremely Dark out-side, I'll probably paint tomorrow.
Thanks again everyone for the Feedback and Support.

Cool! I tried making one of these, but now that I see this post, I realize I was missing a single piece. Thanks for the write-up, BTW: nice job.

Its a lot easier to use 1/2 thinwall instead of 3/4. I would know, I made one 5 months before you did.

I have never been able to find thinwall. Sine this is the case I like this breech much more.

Yea, I also heard Thin Wall Works better, But due to the fact the last time I saw it was in Washington. I'm going back there for that. Also, I love walking two blocks to my ACE and back with a 10 Foot pipe. Also, My ACE doesn't carry Brass, Just Copper. Well, I haven't check my other ACE(Yes, We have two.) But Either Way, This is a easy,sort-a Quick, Mod.
This is for people who just need a breech and don't want to go buy brass. Normally anyone who is heavy into modding has these items laying around.

To add something else, I have no brass around me either. haha. I will be trying this out tomorrow.

Post your pictures of it when you make it. I want to see If anyone does it better than me or as well as me.

I'm really liking this design. I just happen to have the right materials as of now, and can obtain more very easily. I will see if I can post pics once I construct one of these.

I might do things a little differently on mine, but we'll see.

I'm Heading off tonight. I'm currently working on a cleaner version. I'll upload some pictures tomorrow.

[Watari]

Darn, well i'm a little late, but you can always see this tomorrow:
Well I don't have a dremel, and I don't have a 1/2 to 3/4 CPVC coupler ,but I did have some weird "IPS" pipe, it's like thin walled PVC which has the same OD as regular PVC...

Kinda jackin' your thread here but just incase.....
CPVC pipe, "IPS" pipe, 1/2'' CPVC coupler and 1/2'' PVC coupler








Put that back end into any gun you'd like and you've got yourself a "breech."
P.S. Thanks for the inspiration

Awesome! Well, I went back and made it cleaner, So now it's got a better seal. I also Made a second one much cleaner Here's a picture:(Will Upload one In a Minute)




Edit: Would It be worth it to Make a batch of 20 of these? Would any one buy these for $5 Each?

So you pull the CPVC forward and then load the dart in the back of it? I might be instrested in buying one of these. Depends on shipping.
