Ok, inspired by angels breech, I set out to make a breech of my own, that was brass. It's complete, and..... not exactly working.....

Pics soon to follow, but basically, it's a single piece of 17/32 brass that runs the full length, from the front of the plunger, to the front of the gun. it has the hole cut in it for the darts to enter the breech, and the old LS breech, (the orange one) has been dremeled to fit around the brass. this way, the brass is stationary, and when the breech is actuated, it lets in the dart, and then seals around the brass.

The problem is, when the trigger is pulled, no dart exits the barrel. i think there's a tight spot in the brass somewhere... ot something....

Any ideas?

It's likely getting hung up on the edge of your breech opening. You've made yours kind of inside-out from the normal working configuration so there's nothing in the bolt that's pushing the dart forward past the lip of the opening before you're firing.

That was my original thought, but even when I hnd load the dart, and push it into the barrel it self, still nothing.

check to make sure all the seals are completely airtight.

Are you using stock darts? If so maybe they're too large for the tube, (you could probably try greasing up the inside of the barrel) or maybe your tube is bent? If I read it right, then maybe the piece that seals the barrel is loose, and lets the air leak out?

Could you possibly post pictures?

The bolt is most likely not making a good seal over the brass. Try taking a piece of 9/16 and put in in its place.

No offence, but it would take alot of skill to get the bolt to fit around the brass perfectly, and probably couldnt be done by hand, the bes way to make a brass breech is to use too pieces of brass.

Does it work like this? If so, I added the problem in the flash. If you don't have a flash player, you seriously need to get it. The internet is flash these days.
