This is going to be a long thread - bitza build - can you guess what it is yet ?

Progress....

Made tweaks to a fubar reg I had (it leaks clean thru due to some muppet drilling holes in it, but it doesn't leak out the vent hole). This enabled me to mount the valve return spring on something.



Then fixed the o-rings inside the S200 cylinder that had gone rock hard, and screwed it all together. I do have the cover for the reg/reduced part of the action to tidy it up, but I need to machine a couple of mill off it first.



Filled it up and all good. it cocks and fires and goes bang (rather loudly). Just need to make the barrel now, which uses an internal o-ring, so a lot trickier than a regular rapid arrangement. Not sure I have an internal grooving tool small enough...
Oh, and a stock, almost forgot that...

Excellent work, JB, and we know you'll get there with the barrel and stock. Will you be going wood or ally?

Very nice indeed, I admire your patience and skills

Ta. I have a Dragon stock spare that'll be inlet to suit.

I prefer steel for the barrel Tone. I've tried wood in the past, like bamboo, and whilst it's fine for 1/2" blowdarts at hallway ranges, it just doesn't group at longer range

Not quite up to KT's prototyping / fabrication skills though, I know !

Fingers crossed the KT muzzle brake will fit when you find the right barrel!
