Modders parts

[Hobbyman2007]

I found a couple items that may be of interest to some of the modders here. First is a drop down block with gauge, there are two sizes and with a both of work could be a great bottle adapter. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000303514339.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.3fd16f29hwa2xA&algo_pvid=557acf3f-5fea-4ac1-b7cd-f1c873efd33e&algo_expid=557acf3f-5fea-4ac1-b7cd-f1c873efd33e-7&btsid=0bb0624516051301358965746e8697&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

Next up is a fuel filter . You’ll figure it out when you see it.

There are a lot more products out there but figured I’d share what I’ve recently found. Oh ya , there’s a big sale on right now. I just picked up a 500cc bottle for a really good deal 150$ CAD

I received a letter from BATFE for an incoming shipment of oil filter parts that were being held pending my protest...  which I did not.

Sure I am on another list now.

[Hobbyman2007]

I’m absolutely certain that if I were to try to get this fuel filter ,I’d be getting a visit. And not my mother.

Denis, do you have one of those drop blocks? If I measured right the valve housing nose is 21mm and Evanix RS/Blizzard valve housing nose is 20mm - so one could quite easily be turned down to work as a dropblock for Evanix guns. The thing is, that drop is not exactly huge which may cause bottle to hit barrel.

[Hobbyman2007]

Riku, I haven’t bought one. That’s exactly what I was thinking. The other issue is the quick connect is on the wrong side. I think an aluminum tank would fit but then it kind of defeats the purpose. The 22 cubic inch tanks are only 80cc bigger than the Evanix tubes . It would however work for a reverse build like the Airforcegun with the tank at the back of the action.

The drop in normal Evanix block is about 5mm with 35mm tube so this would bring some 10mm extra. That would mean about 55mm diameter bottle would fit in there.

[Hobbyman2007]

The CF 350 and 500 cc bottles are 62 mm OD. So it looks like a bare barrel without a shroud would work. I might just pick one up to experiment with.

[YEMX]

How would the block be secured in the gun?  I'm also seeing 2 different gun-side connections, what guns are these supposed to go to? 

They look like a real basic copy of The Exclusive Shop's simple drop block for Crosman guns, but bigger.

Here's a shot with a hand for a bad size reference?

[Hobbyman2007]

The end with the valve stem goes into the tube similar to a Hatsan AT44 , only it’s held in with grub screws rather than threaded to the action. Exact same as how the Evanix are set up. I really like how easy the pressure chamber and valve are one piece. No transfer ports needed , o rings on barrel and valve end are all that is needed. Man I wish I had milling machine, I could make my own action blocks. I wonder if these would work on an Mrod tube.

[KnifeMaker]

And I really wish I had a mill. LOL! Man, your pic looks a lot tougher than I imagined you to be. LOL!!!


You sure your not really from Texas? 


As for bottles, I would much rather to have a bottle in front of me than a frontal Lobotomy.     Even the Raptors are secured with three large headed allen bolts.


I really need to fabricate a longer Moly tube for my Mini to obtain more plenum volume. It's o the to do list.  +

I thought you had a lathe? Add a vertical slide and you should be able to do action blocks/breeches.

[KnifeMaker]

Sadly, only a nice 6x26 knee mill. LOL

Knife , I ve visited Texas once maybe that’s what rubbed off on me:)
I do have a 9x 20 lathe but I haven’t been able to find a cross slide for it. It’s got a few issues so I’d prefer to have the proper tool. I love tools almost as much as air guns .

I wonder if these would work on an Mrod tube.

The drop required for an Mrod and 500cc AL bottle is .64" between bottle center line and tube center line. It can be a wee bit smaller, but bottles are a bit variable, and I did not want a crash on one of the more variable bottles.

And the old joke, just as true now as it was when it was first told, "When I hear a knock on the door and they say 'Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms', I want to see a salesman!"
