very nice job. very nice job indeed.
some questions though:
why so much electrical tape?
and... source of ignition? stun gun i presume

The huge wad of tape is a nice addition.

I haven't shot it yet. I will tomorrow. I'll post damage pics then.

barrel 36" .5" sch40 steel

barrel could be a lot longer(atleast 72in).
I would also recommend a larger bore barrel with a chamber that size, A 1in barrel should work good with it.

Ok thanks.
could you help me with my pressures to fill my meter and stuff. I tried several times and I am getting wierd numbers.

here is a link to the math required for finding the right pressure for hybrid meters

so if my chamber volume is 23ci I would do this
23/.958-23
this would give me 1.008
I divide that by my meter volume which is .45ci
now I have 2.24 bar?
multipy that by 14.7
giving me 32.93psi
so for a 1x mix i fill my meter to 32.93?
for 2x i us 64 and so on?
how do I get to a 4x mix? propane tanks don't hold 131psi do they?

Pat:You just charge the propane meter to 64psi twice and you will get a 4x mix.
its a little harsh on the eyes, but if it works it works!

thanks I get it now that was a stupid questionPat:You just charge the propane meter to 64psi twice and you will get a 4x mix.
Yeah I am trying to find a better way to attach the bbq lighter and some way to hide the wires. I might just cut them shorter but they have the tips to attach to the bbq lighter. HOw would you attach the propane tank other than zip ties?its a little harsh on the eyes, but if it works it works!
