Petg Breech Breakthough

19 April 2010 - 05:01 PM

When shopping at Home Depot this weekend I came across this:

It is a 1/2" PVC sprinkler extender nipple 24" long. Out of curiosity, I bought it. When I got home I was testing it as a barrel material when I saw some PETG on the floor. I tested it and Oh damn! it fit perfectly! So here is the writeup for a 100% airtight PETG breech that cost a few bucks.

Materials needed:
1/2" PVC sprinkler extender nipple 24" long
1 foot of PETG (Check Spit's sales thread)
1/2" nylon rod (8538K18)
Dremel with cutting wheel
Drill
Hot glue gun
5/8" drill bit
E-tape

Step 1
Cut 1' off the PVC nipple

Step 2
Cut a breech slot. Mine is 3 cm away from the end and the slot is 6 cm wide.
Posted Image
Step 3
Drill two 1/2" holes. One is 1.5 cm away from the breech slot and the other is 11cm away.
Posted Image
Step 4
Conect the outer edges of the holes you drilled and then cut the slot out. Also cut a little notch for the handle to lock in.

Step 5
Drill a 5/8" hole though the nylon rod 4.5 cm from the end. Also cut out a little notch so it will slide better.
Posted Image
Step 6
Slide in 1' of PETG and align it with the back off the breech. Take out you hot glue gun and glue the nylon rod in the closed position. Make sure you do not glue the rod to the PVC and the notch is facing down.

Step 7
The breech might be a little loose in a coupler so put one wrap of e-tape around the end.
Posted Image
Yeah! Your done. Now go shoot something!
Some pics:

There is no PETG sticking out of the front when closed. So when you barrel tap someone the PETG dosen't snap or break.

This is what happens to e-tape PETG breeches.

Hornet Tanks

27 March 2010 - 03:24 PM

Ok, I had a broken hornet so I decided to try and take out the tanks. I plan on intergrating them into another gun. I tried to find out how they work using the search function but I could not. Could someone help out with a illustration/ explaination?

Thanks in advance

Please Sticky

I've just noticed the l+l thread after some guy necroed it. I think it should be sticked so it will be easier to find and more people will see it. Also more people will post their pics if they can find it easily. The +bow thread is sticked so why not the l+l. Thanks for reading and I hope you consider this. Here is the link l+l thread
