I will save her. I promise you all. Stay tuned.

Off to a good start I would say. Vertical feed getting finished. Now to decide on how to pump it.
palmers order coming up

What in hell happened to that feed tube?
Subbed for the brassy goodness.
Love the Ion feedneck on there tooComment

Someone *cough* didn’t have a torch to remove the tube and solder… but he did have a hacksaw… whoever he was. *cough*Comment

Somebody should have told Bubba to put down the Dremel 😒
Oh... Or hacksaw... Or whatever... Whoever it was who did all that 😁

I’m tempted to make this work. But how will I run the air …… thinking thinking thinking ……Comment

Side tap the body and solder the fitting in place.Comment

That’s gunna be cool! What frame you going with?
what’s the length of space between the grip frame mount screws. I may have a part that would let you mount something wacky to the bottom like a benchmark or something.Comment

Just a classic frame. I have to figure out how to mount a asa on the bottom.Comment

I feel like I have seen some CCM T2 frames that fit on some brass.Comment

So here’s what I need to figure out. The pump arm is too small of a diameter to fit snugly into the simple brass tube. And the valve body ends right where the tube was cut off so there’s no extra brass to mount it too. Maybe I need to take this pump arm and shave it down on a leave and add some threads threaded into the 1/8 NPT threads that are in the valve already and then side tap the valve for the added air. The only problem is I don’t know if the threads on here are incredibly straight which might result in a cockeyed pump arm. Unless I re-drill the valve body and make it a different thread for the pump arm that I would also have to turn down on a lathe and add threads to. Who has a lathe and wants to help lolAttached FilesComment

Can you drill out the pump arm to pass air through it and then drill and tap the underside of the pumparm for the air inlet? Also maybe use a male-male fitting or threaded rod with through hole to connect the two instead of machining new outside threads on the pump arm.
Are those valve bodies directional/sensitive to their orientation in the body?

I decided on a different pump kit. I’m gonna see if the drift kit will fit a little bit better with a drilled and tapped front block. I might have to mother grip frame a little bit to allow for spacing but I think overall it would be better. I may have to switch out the front block for a front block with an ASA depending on how much room I have. I don’t wanna put the pump arm super close to the tip of the barrel. But this would be the generic look. I just have to figure out how I’m going to add an ASA to the bottom of the frame. I found an old pair of PMI pistol grips that will work perfectly with very slight modification. It’s gonna be a fun little shooter, just a lot of valve work coming in the next weekComment
