JC's Brass thread

PGP with Speed Demon conversion, Freak barrel, and a neat brass dohicky for the bolt. Nearly done.

[binson]

This looks hot!

[JeeperCreeper]

Re soldered a barrel retainer nut on this Palmers, and this PGP came back for a refinish and another detent to prevent double feeds.

[JeeperCreeper]

I'll also be treating her to fresh nickel plating soon.

[Ecapnation]

What serial number is the BBT?

[JeeperCreeper]

#16

[JeeperCreeper]

Making this one just a little different. It will make more sense soon.

Today has brought some progress. Detent added, I slotted the lower tube for the cocking knob I'll be adding, I also finished up the barrel tube. I just need to tap the valve, run the tiny airline, and drill and tap that hammer. Then it needs a good clean up and a plate job.

[JeeperCreeper]

Yes a single shot, the barrel slides forward to open the breech and pop in a paintball. There's no sliding bolt anymore. I gained 2" of barrel by doing this.

This is wild. Between Jordan's bottom feeding marker and this boltless design you all decided to break all the rules at once

[Drunkscriblerian]

A...boltless...Sheridan??

Just when I thought the builds 'round these parts couldn't get weirder.

[JeeperCreeper]

Oh, but this looks so very steampunk cowboy. Now I can't decide.

[binson]

You bypassed any need for a center-fire bolt. Oh man and get a nice all brass k frame on that.. oooh! That's hot 🔥🥵 .

[Jordan]

Pretty cool - what size line are you running?

[JeeperCreeper]

I'm going to try it with 3/16 because thats what I have on hand, but I'm almost certain I'll be upgrading to 1/4" fittings for better flow.

[JeeperCreeper]

[JeeperCreeper]

Oh its nice. I definitely need to go with a 1/4" airline, I'm just waiting for the fittings to show up.

[Ecapnation]

Awesome..... But now I want one lol

[JeeperCreeper]

Ecapnation that can be arranged

[Ecapnation]

Don't tempt me right now lol

[markdem]

Thats pretty cool

[JeeperCreeper]

I tried out the electro anodizing, very simple. Baking soda in distilled water, and a power supply. You need a sacrificial piece of titanium to hook to the negative, and hook the positive to the part. Dial in color by voltage.

[JeeperCreeper]

Ok, back to the normal programmed schedule. I added a detent to prevent double feeds, and added this Speed Demon style bolt for more fun single shot action.

[JeeperCreeper]

And very similar treatment to this Piranha. Its getting a detent and a new feed.

[JeeperCreeper]

It looks like the copper is really coming to the surface on this, now to let it turn penny brown.

[Cal440]

Are you trying to match some original pateena, and won't it get messed up when you do your soldering?

[JeeperCreeper]

Trying to match the original dark brown patina

[JeeperCreeper]

Finally the fittings arrived. They are definitely more bulky, but they still fit after some fiddling. I went from 3/16 to 1/4" thin wall tubing. Lots of airflow now.
