So I was researching the contents of PVC and its health risks. I found that there is a major risk of carcinogens and other harmful compounds. I personally do not believe that PVC is that dangerous, but for some of us who work with it and breathe in so much of it from sanding the pipes, it could be a hazard in later years. If you want to check it out, just research it and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hey guys! I'm not quite sure what place to put this in, however if it helps someone then I might as well post it. There is a website called www.inventables.com that sells hardware for designers. It has a lot of interesting materials that have unusual properties. Some of the stuff is good for homemades. Plus, if you sign up and tell a friend, they give you a free $20 coupon. I've tried it and its great!

After revising Ace's snap carbine, and seeing NOM's version, I decided to make one. However, I only had [k26] springs with me, so I made a snap carbine with a [k26]. Plus, I believe [k26] springs are more powerful.
Here is the finished product:


In order to add a full 11 in [k26] with a 4 in compression, I had to make the carbine pretty long. I actually made two, because the first one did not have a 7 in draw. The piston is longer, and in order for the nail to ride along the piston i had to make the pvc continue on the piston.



I also made 1/2 in cpvc pegs for the [k26] to wrap on so that it does not fly everywhere.



The stock also has a peg:

Overall, if you have a [k26] and want to make a snap carbine, you can. I'm getting 100 ft flat with stefans, and 130 ft - 150 ft angled. The only problem I have with snaps in general, is clothespin triggers. They are too weak to hold a [k26], full compression. Other than that, snap carbines are fun to make! (By the way this is my first post, yet I would love to answer any questions you have)
