Ya the handle took me about 4 hours to make

i could have used a couple of nicer tools to cut that time in half but i don't have them. Anyways, a good way to get started on making one of these custom handles is to trace around the handle on an airsoft or bb gun onto the plywood then cut that peice out, and then use that cut peice as a trace guide for the next 2 times that you cut handle peices. My handle is 3 layers of plywood. the left and righ layers are bolt-on removeable faceplates, then the middle layer is the part that gaps the two faceplates so that the bbq ignitor can be placed, as well as give you somewhere to put a trigger frame. there are more steps than that but if anyone wants more specific plans on building a nice handle i can give them to you, just let me know.

nice gun. love the hinge set up and how simple and smooth looking evrything is. U did a great job on the handle by the way.
One question, howed you get the touch tip unscrewed from the regulator thing that attaches to the tank? and what size are the threads?

you have to modify a propane torch valve,burntlatke.com

Looks great

good work

But I have one question I wanted to ask that many times but I thought may be you find the solution anytime. But I dont

Now I ask.
Where do you get the mixture in the chamber. I dont mean the question of site one of this thread I mean how and where do you mixe the propan with the air ?
I see no mixture part ? And why do you have 2 ball valvues ? because of safety ?

Please dont tell me that I am stupid but your US standard seems to be very differently.

The mixture happens inside the chamber. I won't say you're "stupid", but definitely do some more homework if you plan on building a propane gun. I a designated volume of propane inbetween the two ball valves, the gauge in the middle tells me what psi i'm at. I release the second one to let the propane into the chamber then close it off, for safety i guess... But the propane mixes naturally with the oxygen (just fresh air) in the chamber and then I also have the cpu fan inside to optimize the mix. all of this is done with the chamber cap CLOSED. then all i gotta do is click the trigger and BOOOOM!! Did that help explain your question?

i know this is an old thread but nice gun its awesome...

Yeah, i know this is a really old thread, but what kind of fitting did you use on the propane torch valve? I am makin a propane injected cannon but i can't figure it out.

it is extremely complex. i really dent know how to explain it other than:

you take a piece of hose and put a hose clamp around it and tighten it.

so complex, i know.

note- slight sarcasm

edit- this is how i did mine.
