Lever, but not the way you think 😜

[XEMON]

Hello Y'all,

guess this is my entry?

So to start, i will be using my Walmaz price, generously provided by NONOBLITUS :



The plan:
- metal slider
- RVA/adjustable spring tension
- make it lever, but not how you think 😜
- replace barrel (exposed and brass?)
- improve feed, maybe put some springs in there too?
- speed wheel
- cool sight/scope?
- TBD

I thought about trying to make a whole new shell, but i dont think that is reasonable within the timeframe ...
It is a long list with the limited time i have, but ill get it as far as I can 😁


Thanks for looking,
X

Oh this is gonna be good, I can tell already.

Oh boy a tricked out Splatty. I can't wait to see this. There is nothing more satisfying than a Splatty elimination.

Or a BBA elimination on a hyper tube speedball field...😋

Ok, we are at a crossroad ...
I have the base design done for the lever i was envisioning, but i got an idea for a semi conversion ...

Should i stick with the lever or go semi-esque?

my vote is lever

Lever it is, less parts to buy 😁

In the late 80's there was a bolt on splat master lever kit.....it worked backwards

I might have an advertisement for it in my analog data stash

pretty sure thats what i am making 😅
I made a very janky one about 20 years ago and sold it in a lot ... kinda miss it so i thought i would make a cleaner one.
Id love some scans if you have some, i looked but was unable to find any pictures of them.

I've got the design and dimensions down for the lever, next I need to decide if I want it 3D printed or out of metal ...

Ps: I'm leaning to send it over to get laser cut, I have a few other parts to be done anyway 😁
