    Sniper III braided air hose

    Looking to put my sniper III back together but I’m missing the air hose. Anyone have one or know where one can be found?

    Photo for example.

    Hmm.. braided airlines are easy enough to get, but I don't know what fitting that is for the gas through part. I can try and dig mine out (it is quite buried though) and see if there is a part number on it. I won't hold my breath. Hopefully someone knows. Just checked a few things I had an no parts lists jumped out either. Now I'm just curious.

      I think I remember reading somewhere the fitting is a weird size. I could be wrong.

        The fitting is fixed to the hose on end and the other is a standard 1/8. The fitting reminds me of an automotive hydraulic brake line hose.

          That is your answer just take your marker with picture to a local hydraulic shop and they'll figure it out and make you up a fitted line. I am pretty sure that is a basic hydraulic banjo bolt fitting. Bud used off the shelf parts back then nothing proprietary. I have a Parker Hydraulic store near me that has been more then willing to help me out in the past with these types of things.

          Yeah, it's fixed in the stock form, but I figure it doesn't need to be crimped to it. 1/8 to 1/8 and then to this "fitting" is probably going to be your best bet in finding. I'm still poking around. I literally cant find a manual for this gun anywhere in my hoarde

              Try "The Hose Man" that's where they used to get their hoses from in CA.

              Thanks for the info on the hose man, they are not too far from me so I might have to stop by and see if they can help.

              Interesting. Still looking for stock hose setup but may consider for another build.
              Thanks
