If you read all of the topics I've started, you will notice that most of them are on homemades.

I just finnished my 7th hm and it works ok, not as good as some others I have. I am about to start another one to replace one that I sold last week.

I want to know about the best homemades you guys have ever made, but keep 'em simple. I dont have all the resources that some people do.

Pic's and diagrams would be best, but I might be able to work through a few written instructions.

Before you post anything make sure the gun works with 1/2 inch micros (stefans), otherwise its just a waste of your time. Also a simple clip...sorry...magazine system would be nice but can be worked around. One last thing, keep the cos below 30 bucks, I already have 3/4 CPVC, 1/2 CPVC, and 3/4 PVC so that should keep the cost down. Any input is welcomed, even if it is only about a part of a gun.


Note: For any admins; you can dump buckbogey, dont need that anymore.

I myself haven't made any homemades yet, but plan to in the very near future (as soon as my idiot ass school stops ladeling me down with projects). Anyway if you want to see some great homemades check out 3DBBQ's he's got some great ones.

I'm just about finished with a homemade that uses a zero valve. Nothing special, but as soon as the trigger is done drying, and I fix the dented barrel, I'm gonna try to get some pics up on my website within the next week or so. It's mostly for looks right now, it's modeled after a TMP off of counter-strike . It does have a nice rate of fire however, it is breach loading, nested brass, and it uses an onboard pump salvaged from a $5 super soaker from Target. The downside to the onboard pump + small zero valve is that it probably won't get passed the 100' mark when I go range test it.

I have a pretty cool brass clip system on my bna that's in another topic, you could easily adapt it to a homemade.

Bobert and I have two homemades, both of which are our version of the ball valve homemade. Only one works, but with a bicycle pump we can get it up to 120-130 PSI and have it fire around 200-250 feet. The darts fishtail out the barrel, probably because of the massive power it generates and the short (for a homemade (15 inches)) barrel.
It's a rifle, with a stock integrated on with a pvc tee. Really comfortable to hold. Oh well, as soon as I get to an auto store and Home Depot, The Valkyrie is in for some major changes.

Iwould love to learnmore about the brass clip system. Please post plans or link to them.

The rifle idea sounds awesome. Plans would be great.

I'll probably put that breech on my next rifle, sounds pretty good.

I just checked out my basement and i noticed that im low on small arms. Anybody got plans for a small handgun?

[Ragornocks]

Eh...Frost Vectron has some decent ideas for some pull and release...never tried them, so I've no idea how well they work, but he get's a +9 for creativity.

I finnished my rifle barrel and im doing someting different this time.

I drilled what looks like venting holes only bigger, in the sides of the barrel in one row where the last third of a loaded dart sits. The air enters through these holes instead of the back of the barrel. When the air goes in it compresses the back of the dart and when the air has nowhere else to go, it forces the dart out.

This design also allows me to load through the back of the barrel, as long as I plug the back of the barrel with an endcap. This dramaticaly upped my rate of fire on this gun, but I still intend to make a clip loading gun.

Keep the ideas comming.

P. S. I really need some plans for small arms that are pump.

If you want something that bad, make it yourself. It can't be that hard. Take what you know about making large homemades and modify that to work in a smaller format.

Probably not what you are looking for.....but here is my bolt-action rifle. I`m working on some detailed plans right now but I do have quite a few pictures.

Ok, I'm started work on my clip rifle. Im using veggies shell/barrel design with some of my own add-ons. Also, im using a hose nozzle just because their cheap. I'm tearing a rangfinder/scope off my old eat shit and putting it on this. I'm going to make the barrel 19 inches long with porting.

I know that I sould just make a simple handgun, but I cant find a valve that fits my specs.

[Nello]

Just use a hose handle. You will want a handle anyway so having the valve built in is a bonus. If you keep the barrel fairly short then you won't need a massive pvc tank on the gun. I've got an idea I'm working on that will use a 1500 pump, hose handle, a check valve and of course, a barrel. I'll put it up when I'm finished.

[Ironman]

yo sorry about all that crap in your last topic. thank-you for admiting the thing about buckbogey. i will soon have a write up about my homemade and i will have pics (when i get around to it).

[Blue Ice]

no problems

If you've made 7 homemades, you have more experience with them than anyone here. Your first post on the forum was to lecture us about homemade construction.

Why do you keep asking everyone to give you plans? You should continue enlightening the world about your amazing homemade construction techniques.
