Clide is right, you will need to fill from the pilot side of the QEV if you want to get it seal.

Its not very hard to use a QEV.
Fill into the QEV pilot, and connect the port where you would put the chamber on a QEV gun into the sprinkler pilot area.

oops, i forgot to take a pic of it. It is a schrader (car tire). Like i said earlier its threaded in, not epoxied. it's hard to see, but, look at the first + second pics. at the bottom of the butt of the gun there is a 1" 90. That 90 is actually three way, it's 1" x 1" x .5"(threaded). I put a reducer bushing from .5" to.25" and put in a 1/4" npt schrader.

Ever heard of QD fittings?
Much better option.
Otherwise you are asking for leaks.

BTB, no disrespect man, but, you keep posting random stuff on this thread. No one has tried to sell anything in this thread. Also, im not sure if bc arms is like an official sponsor of this site, so im not sure if that's a warranted threat, but that's beyond me. QD would be useless on this because i only have a bike pump, and nothing leaks.

I can tell you with total certinity bcarms is the offical Spudfiles store! There wouldn't be a big banner on every page if it wasn't. If you do want to try and sell something on Spudfiles, there is a classified section to use, follow the rules before posting in the classified section.

I can't quite see how using a quick connect fitting for filling would prevent you from using a bike pump... I use my quick connect adapted bike pump for filling all sorts of things, and it certainly isn't useless.

I don't see anyone trying to sell anything here though :?

No, my apologies. QD can be beneficial. But, for me at least, it is unnecesary. I would have to make an adaptor from schrader to female. Then on the gun i would have to get a (expensive) bv and male inlet. especially un-ergenomic in my case because the IM and BV would stick into my chest.

Biking pro- i wouldnt say the scope is ghetto, it's just very original and homemade. I personally think it's very aesthetic.

I think that BTB accidentically posted in the wrong thread.
Or someone editted something away.


I think the scope isnt that ghetto. It looks nice :D

I like this design. It looks very intimidating with that scope on top of it. I also like the breach loading design. Very unique, awesome job!
