by the way, does anyone know of a way to seperate a glued pvc fitting from the pipe without having to do any damage to anything? .... i want to remove the Shcrader valve and put a quick disconnect in its place but i will need to remove that whole post to do so.

The ammo holder is just an aluminum "L" shaped corner molding strip and the tubes themselves for the ammo are just pieces of pvc i cut and then put the whole thing together with JB Weld. Then used good ol' zip ties to fix it to the gun.

My first (but not last) unnamed sniper rifle...

I have been working on this rifle on and off for about 3 weeks now. It isn't my first but is my best to date. It is made from thick wall 3/4" pvc except for the barrel which is thin wall. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff78/kaiser271/1.j...

P.S. after a few more days in ...
