Explain how the gauge was added a little more please? You threaded into the valve block? Can the gauge go on the other side so as not to cover up the Crosman logo?Nice integration.

Can the gauge go on the other side so as not to cover up the Crosman logo?Nice integration.The gauge is threaded directly into the front part of the valve.Rethreaded the gauge from 1/8 NPT to 1/4-40.Valve is counterbored and tapped with a flat bottom.O-ring sits at the bottom of the counterbore.Gauge screws in and seals against the O-ring.Can be mounted on either side.
¼-40?¼-20 is UNC,¼-28 is UNF,¼-32 is UNEFWould you please verify?
Thanks Ron. I'm not a machinist, so I don't really know when to use fine threads vs coarse threads. I know that the pressure tube fill port uses fine threads.Would you tell me why you chose such a fine thread?Hunter
Where did you buy the die and guage please? I see one of these in my future. I have a 2260 stock to put it in, and I'll probably steel breech it or make a breech. Maybe a repeater breech, that would be cool.
Glad to have a look at the valve. Those are the first pics I've seen. Nice looking shot string too! How is the valve secured inside the tube, other than the trigger frame screw?
