On a sidenote, how often do you lube/clean your guns?
Externally after every use, and if you care for the bluing don't put it away in something that retains moisture like a foam lined case.Labtecpower wrote:On a sidenote, how often do you lube/clean your guns?
Meditation is concentrating the front mind on a mundane task so that the rest of the mind can find peace.

Ah, very cool. I've been meaning to try that flashlight suppressor since I saw it in The Walking Dead but it would be too small for most of my guns. I hope you do step it up a notch since a flashlight that big needs something more than just a 6mm barrel and 300PSI. It'd be cool to see you try something different like a breech tube going through the chamber to the barrel with some mechanism to seal it off during firing that doesn't get in the way of aesthetics or ergonomics.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:I'm pondering what to do with them, whether to turn them into incognito suppressors as seems to be all the rage these days,or doing something similar to what MrC did but on a more hardcore level...
I don't think it would be very practical in my case, I could definitely make it into an effective suppressor, but the people I would sell to are concerned about "cool" as well as noise. No matter how well done, hanging a torch off the end of your barrel invariable looks ghetto.MrCrowley wrote:Ah, very cool.

Definitely, 0.38" calibre minimum and probably something that would take 800 psi from a paintball bottle tooI hope you do step it up a notch since a flashlight that big needs something more than just a 6mm barrel and 300PSI.
Another though was to have a triple 0.22" barrel for a shotgun effect without having to worry about sabots...I bought used ones deliberately in order to find it easier to hack them up but it seems a shame to damage such a finely engineered item, so I'll be looking to make any changes reversable without modifying any of the components. One of them is quite scuffed, but the quality still shines though. My current idea is to have a coaxial unit that fits inside the battery chamber, shooting through where the lens would be. In order to shoot, you would have to remove the tailcap in order to trigger the pilot.It'd be cool to see you try something different like a breech tube going through the chamber to the barrel with some mechanism to seal it off during firing that doesn't get in the way of aesthetics or ergonomics.
If airguns are legal without a license, that's half the problem solved, though you still have to be careful about liability, especially if you're selling to teenagers prone to shoot themselves in the face. Also, beware of any laws about concealed weapons.Got an offer on YouTube to sell one of the flashlight BB guns for $60AUD so I've been thinking about selling them here in NZ since it should be fairly legal.
Costs MrC, you'd cover the costsI can get 10 flashlights for about $75NZD, enough barrel for all of them for $13, schrader valves for ~$20. If I sold them at $50NZD each, I'd almost cover my loses after selling two.
You could always subcontract for a share of the profits, wink wink nudge nudgeTimes like these I wish I had a mini lathe and the ability to use one

Delrin plugs and piston won't cost you much, but I would need very accurate measurments, I like to make endcaps 0.1mm or so bigger than the tube they're fitting in and hammer them in to ensure good adhesion. A decent firing button like the one I made for the carbon fibre pen gun is a bit more involved though and would cost more. You might find that $60 is a little low for the finished item, depending on the finish.I was thinking about subcontracting you, the piston and chamber plug with barrel hole would be the same sizes and quick to make. I'll shoot you a pm if I take this further to see how feasible it would be
