homemade 12 gram co2 adaptor
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2008 3:04 pm
so i took apart a quick connect because i was bored
to start i sliced off the steel retaining ring with a dremel
once that was sliced off and removed
the slide collar came right off revaling the 3 steel balls and the spring
then i put the rest of the quick connect in my vise and started wrenching on it dont worry about damaging the end were the slide collar came from
when the other end finally opened from me wrenching on it a spring a piston and o-ring came out the piston was pointed on one side and cylindrical with holes drilled in it on the other side
i reversed the piston so the sharp side pointed toward the end were u put the male connect
then i put the assembly in the vice and cut off the majority of the side that had the slide collar i did this because the neck on the co2 powerlet wasnt long enough th reach the o -ring and the pointy end of the piston
then i cut a length of brass rod from an old lantern sparker so as not allow the piston to travel to far back wards
i screwed a male female quick conect into the female 2x quick connect
then i put a male quick connect into the female one that was still stock
finished product
all the components needed
looking in {note spring, piston and rod removed}
the internals
i pressured tested the setup and it is good
the male quick connect can be threaded into the spudgun
u can then take the adaptor off and transfere it from spudgun to spudgun
