Vee Twin Autococker

Wow that looks awesome!

Just got this approval photo from Arc. Can't wait to get it in and put together!

Has anyone else emailed me and not gotten a reply? For some reason I'm still having issues with Headshot, here, and earlier there was some difficulty with Seth's. Is my server's antispam getting a little too aggressive, maybe?

Doc.

-Update: Yep, confirmed that that server antispam has been blocking some messages. I shut off auto-delete last night, and in amongst the flood of spam, viruses and boobs (hey, it's not all bad ) I got a couple false-postive marked messages.

I'm talking with my host at the moment to see if we can adjust the settings- should be easy, I just don't know how- but for the moment I'm just going to have to manually pick the wheat from the chaff. If you've emailed me at some point and haven't gotten a reply, assuming the question is still relevant, feel free to hit me again.

Doc.

I did not get a reply, but its not for a twin vee

Flipping a bellevile washer changes the length inversely proportional (in direction, not magnitude) to the stiffness of the stack. It's not a safe assumption to think that you can safely change the length of the spring and not suffer consequences, such as over-pressurizing your gun or damaging the reg seat. I don't know which will provide more output pressure in a given regulator, but I suspect it's the longer configuration.

Flipping a bellevile washer isn't to make the stack shorter, it makes the spring stiffer.

Never tried that before, but It looks like I would flip one to "shorten" the stack? Or do I have that backwards.

[Lt. head-shot]

Ahhh forgot about AKA. Thanks @Chuck. The Sidewinder looks to go up to 800PSI so I went with that.

[Lt. head-shot]

Regulator! When I did finally change regs, there was the tiniest hint of a leak in the barrel, but that seems to happen sometimes with inception cup seals. Usually goes away eventually.

Got mine in today! Thanks again Doc.

What is everyone running for regulators? I had planned to use an Inception, but after 3 hours of trying to get the damn thing to stop leaking, I slipped with a wrench and torched it when it seized to the vasa. I have a CP reg, but it appears to only hit 550 PSI and I don't think that's gonna cut it. Palmers is the only other one I know that makes a really high PSI reg.

You might have an lp piston in that CP, you might be able to flip one of the bevels to get more pressure out of it

I went with an AKA 2L+ They are known to flow really good.

[DocsMachine]

The reg was leaking, or the gun was leaking?

Awe heck, I just loved these... Mines off to Mozak Machine to get some sort of crazy milling and then hopefully to Mario for anno.. I hope to get this pattern done...

And Number Six is Done!



This one's heading out to Lt. Head-Shot in the morning, and I think he'll be quite happy with it.

[Edit: And I just realized this was an earlier pic from before I added the sight rail. Well, no worries Lieutenant, it's on there.)

You're up next Seth! I'll be dusting yours back off as soon as I get back from dropping Louie's in the mail!

Doc.
