Love this little project J-S. Got me thinking about turning a paintball gun I have into a air shot gun, I collected a few 20 gauge empty shot shell the other day and wondering if I can do a small load in them and see how it goes. If I get started on it I'll let you guys know how it goes

BUT, i did get a couple more cheap paintball guns of Trademe to hatch some more evil plans. Both are electric triggers which a very light compared to the current mechanical.

Current project has a long bolt insert which acts as a transfer port of around 70mm. Is this wasted space for gas expansion, or does it aid in power?

The next project may be a pistol version; if I make the barrel transfer port directly over the valve (like a crosman 2250), should this provide better use of the gas?
(Im a springer fan at heart so this gas stuff is a bit less known).

Below is a quick preview idea of project number 2:


Cool projects! A smaller transfer port can make gas use more efficient, but some space helps with pressure. Placing the barrel port directly over the valve should improve power. Excited to see what you build next!

Looking forward to hearing more updates on the tuning Jono!

I still think it should have been a .25 cal to fully make use of the c02 powerplant

Haha yes this is still in pieces in need of a little valve work to stop the blowback - a groove and a couple of orings should work but just havent had the time!
