Hey ive got this setup and i was wondering what type of valve i should use to make a convinient bb sniper. the stock is from an old rubberband gun and the barrel is a 2 foot peice of rifled brakeline.

Well, to fit your current design i would say a coaxial piston. I know youve made one before so it should be easy for you. Just my opinion anyway.

I would say a piston valve or a easy to make hammer valve (not inline).

How did you get rifled brakeline?

I'd say make it a cloud. I've been day-dreaming of converting a Red Ryder to one (Because they're $25 near me) and I think it would be cool.
I was thinking maybe 88 gram C02 cart.s to keep it compact somehow.

Or piston valve, breech loaded. 8)

i rifled it myself. it is pretty easy cause brakeline is pretty soft metal so my tool did it with ease

EDIT: id rather make single shot cause im using pellets to takeout certain

what calibre is this gun?

and i reccomend a 1/4 inch QEV for your valve and pressurizing the thing to 400-500 PSI with a shock pump or fridge compressor..........

the barrel in the pics is .177 but i have a .22 barrel too.

also im thinking about only going too 400 psi cause it needs to be quiet enough that it doesnt wake up my neighoors.

if you do it right, you can make the chamber the perfect size so that the pressure in the barrell upon projectile exit is close to zero :D

just use GGDT.

Detachable silencer/suppressor.
It would be a waste of the power to make the chamber so small that it doesn't make noise.

yeah i already have a detachable suppresor :D


if i use a coaxial piston design then how will i do it on this gun?
