The copper pipe looks a fair bit thicker than the stuff we get in the UK unless it's the camera, also looks like a very nice pilot, is it an actual air blowgun or a water spray gun?
You can get chrome plated copper pipe in the UK, my dad is a plumber and he has some but i'm not aloud it because it costs around £7 per meter.

Very nice looking gun, shame none of mine come out as clean looking as yours :D

I thinks its remarkable setup u have there. Id just like to know how that valve system works that u have ...just cant seem to get my head around the pilot valve being behind the chamber but id like to use it in my next pneumatic, because its so neat. Any explanations or QEV tutorials on spudfiles ?

Carl2.0, On the first post, right above the pictures, there is a video tutorial on how he made the piston valve(QEV), next time use the search button, thats why we have it.

You should check out his previous, airguns, always clean, esthetic, colourful, and well ... cool.

French copper usualy has 1mm wall thickness.
And the sizes quite useful too, the 6mm fits into 8mm, that fits into 10, 12, 14, 16, 18...skip 20 vquite hard to find nowdays, 22...28, 30 etc...
But thats changing now, with the prices going up, they're satrting to use stardard UK sizes :/

Wow, very clean. If you put a stock on the back it would be a lot easier to stabilize. That looks like a very fun gun to have :)

Awesome pump too

This is exactly what we were talking about in the "noob invasion" topic. Perhaps you should read it, Carl2.0

Why do u have to diss the french eh? We have more nationalities on this forum. Are u scared for a french invasion or what? Btw a picture is a thousand words, so a vid is a million:) If you wonder how this gun works check the sticky links. haha I would recommend you to update Carl 2.0 :!: that could do the job>just add another french language chip

Man, that is just a work of art! Beautiful!

I think I speak for everybody when I say that we'd be most appreciative of a schematic, or possibly some specs? :)
