Just like the Tec 9, Flaming Hilt was the main inspiration for this project. He showed me his 3k homemade at the last war and it was just awesome. I was going to build the similar long body style with a stock.
I had the 2k guts in the main shell and tried using it with my cpvc breech. I found out that the 2k tank does not have enough power to propel the darts very far when I used the breech. Hence, I made a "pistol" instead. Didn't turn out too bad if I do say so myself.
Here's the trigger:
It's a standard allen wrench trigger that I epoxy puddied to the at2k firing pin. That pvc plate is to insure that it pulls back straight. Without it, the trigger is flimsy and air is lost in the pull.
Picture of the at2k tank:
The large pvc shell didn't sit tightly in the next smaller size pvc so I had to mount the guts in a different way. I screwed the smaller piece of pvc to the larger one by a wood screw underneath the tank. The grey bulge you see is adhesive backed foam that is pressed against the 2k guts with a pretty good force. Makes a perfect seal. All I had left to do was to lathe down the pvc to fit inside of eachother until I got to the coupler.
I know that may be confusing to read, but all I meant to say was the at2k guts are mounted and sealed tightly.
A couple of shots with the barrel:
