.:.:BUMP:.:.

also i have a question. will it matter if air travel through the back on the gun? or will it make it have less power? like if it travels through the Wye and all the other parts for the back of the gun.

DONT USE A WYE! dude you have to find parts that say nsf-pw on them if ur in america or PN18 if your an aussie or sheepshagga.

and yes you will have slightly more power if the stock is not pressurized because of all the turns but this is assuming the correct chamber size without the stock included.

A tee. If you have read that correctly you should see that a wye is infact DWV. So you have to use a tee. There is no pressure rated wye.

@ DaGrim: A cheap walmart scope, i think 4X32? Or something, is only around 25-30 dollars
If you really cant afford to get that, than just buy a cheap red dot
