This is what it has
-6.5" plunger draw
-5 shot rscb
-Adult size stock and handle
-full size [k26] spring
-+bow style plunger handle.
You will need basic parts to build a Snap.
You will also need:
-2 6-32 threaded 1" long spacers.
-Materials to make Rork's Superlative Snap Plunger Head.
-about 3-4 feet of a 2x4
-Aluminum u channel (9001K43) I have plenty of leftover if you want to buy some.
Part 1 The Snap body
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First cut a 10" length of 1 1/4 pvc and cement on couplers on both sides.
In one 1 1/4 to 1/2" kill some deadspace, and add some padding.
On the other bushing add a 1.375"x1/4" polycarbonate circle with a hole in the middle cpvc can slide through.
Cement the bushing with the un-deadspace in one of the couplers.
In that bushing goop a cpvc rscb assembly. (coupler and tee)
Then wrap the back end of the tee with e-tape until a pvc coupler rests sungly, and goop that on.
Make a superlative snap plunger head and cement it on 11.25in of cpvc.
Place the trigger on the gun using Carbon's method. (It is in the middle of his write-up.
Once that is done. Secure the second bushing down with some screws. Then make a plunger handle with two pieces of 1/4" polycarbonate, and the spacers. Attach it on to an endcap via a 3/4 screw and a locknut.
Right now it should ressemble something like this.
Now you'll want to add your rscb tube. It should end just in front of the trigger. Also, throw on a piece of pvc to stabilize it.
Part 2 Stock
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start off by sketching out the stock you want, and leave room for the Snap body. Then cut it out.
You will have to attach a 9" and 10" section of the u channel to the bottom and top. The top one as about .75" on each side with the legs cut off so you can secure it down flat.
Drill pilot holes through the aluminum then secure them down using nails.
In the front a notch is cut out for the rscb, and trigger.
Attach the Snap body to the stock with Industrial hotlgue, a screw going through the top u channel, and a screw through the rscb endcap.
Then cut out a lower half of the stock, and secure it with screws.
Throw a 10in barrel on it and you're done.
Part 3 Ending Comments
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This gun is more comfortable than a crossbow, or a tornado, and the rscb works flawlessly.
Right now I am filling in some gaps with bondo, so it will look a bit nicer. There will be a final picture soon enough.
As for ranges with single bb darts, and good old estimations.
The highest was 110ft.
Lowest was around 85ft
The majority of the darts landed between 90-95ft, and it does decrease as the clip empties.
