Sheridan Valve tubing question.

[DieManInTheRough]

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.

Stock Sheridan barrel tube is what I used. It's the correct ID for 11/16" Cocker valves and other internals.

I don't understand the point of Spyder internals if you're going pump, personally... All Cocker hammers are 11/16" diameter so there's zero advantage to using Spyder bits unless you're trying to use up a broken blowback.

You can use the ATTKTX upgrade, with a bit of modification, as a mounting point for both the front grip screw and a pump kit. They slide right into an 11/16" tube. The next thing I build will use those parts.

Precisely in the spirit of I have many broken piles of crap, I can assemble one "working" pile of poo,and along the way learn some knowledge from older hands. Looks like I will be in the market for some brass shortly. I very much appreciate the input.

I do. Pm me. I'll send you an old barrel

Just be careful... I don't know the working pressure of Sheridan barrel tube and stay below 400psi as a precaution. I wouldn't advise anything higher unless you're confident in your ability to calculate that sort of thing.

My plan is to have it regulated before the brass body via LPR, and only feed 2-300 to the body, I have read that some have gotten LP spyders down to the low 200 operating range and I won't be needing any blowback gas in this situation.
