Looks great, I like the blue paintjob. It might be nice to paint the barrel.
How is the power?

What are your pistons made out of?

You should specify "3 inch" piston in the title, I was expecting to see a triple piston valve
nicely done and it looks to have good power potential at higher pressures, doesn's sound too loud at 60psi either.

thanks jsr i meant to put 3rd piston valve, haha, well the camera didnt catch it but its a little louder then in the video, powers pretty good. The piston is a 1.25 inch coupling.
the barrel is 6 feetlong 1.5 bore, chamber is 40 inches long 2''. What do you guys think?
