I am endeavoring to build a "Spyder" Pump based brass tubed marker.
Have dug through and found info on barrel material, feed tube material, and shrouding material to freak equip said marker, what I haven't been able to reliably find is 11/16/.686 tubing for the valve body portion.
Will I need to find a Sheridan body and salvage the lower tube?
Or should I use the .692 ID tube posted by Jordan elsewhere for the valve body and thicker orings on the valve?
Recommendations on the rivsert/threadsert style to use?
This will be a huge learning experience and something I've wanted to do since I first saw the craftsmanship featured on this site over a decade ago.
I appreciate any helpful tips or pointers and thanks for reading.
