Its a pretty nice gun and your using fittings that I've never seen before...
What kind of reducer is that? Further more are they pressure rated?

Those fittings are for water drains etc and are probably not rated for pressure. Closest hardware store here sells same stuff.
But I guess it's ok for combustion.
Nice looking cannon.

I'm planning good paint job but that's for future ! About the fittings - I think that they are very strong and yea they are for water but they are old !!!
So Grizzly, have you been able to fire this thing after your modifications? Did you notice any performance increase with the longer barrel and meter design??

Actually yes ! it is better because I don't need any spays or something but it is heavier so that's a bad thing. I'm apologize but I haven't time to shoot with some potatoes or something ! I let you know if there will be any increases ... Yes I am able to shoot !
