I made a new spud gun. This is my second. The chamber is 3"x 12" long when you add the adapters. As you can see it has a BBQ igniter. It also has a fan in it now. It has double spark. The barrel on it is 1" x 39". I have two other barrels too. (3\4", 1\2") It will have metered propane later. Right now I'm using carb cleaner. It seems to work fine.

I like the paint as well. Is that a padded handle? Must be comfortable...

The handle's has a piece of sponge rubber pipe insulation on it. It slips right on. I trimmed the edges and glued it on. It does feel good in your hands. I'll tell you about the paint later as it's out in my shop. I need to make a brace for the barrel yet. It will have to fit three different barrels. Thanks for the comments.

Here is what the paints are. Zynolyte Epoxy..Rust-mate....Grey

RustOleum...Metallic Blue

I got the blue at Home Depot. I don't remember where I got the grey. The grey takes a long time to dry. (more than 24 hrs.)

Looking nice! Color scheme really turned out nice, good choice of contrasting colors. Nice idear on the handle, using the pipe insulation. Also it appears as if you made the handle removable via screws?
