Was that video taken recently? It looks so warm! I saw the dog as was like it is gonna freak out when he starts shooting. Nice table too.

Looks really nice approx how many shots do you get off of the powerlet?
How does the Sheridan regulator help with CO2?

Thanks. I got if from waridiot.com, but I think the site is longer functioning. It is a airsoft replica, but you need the modified barrel sleeve to attach it, which I will be producing shortly.

Actcaully this modification would work great with your sniper rifle set up!

That's alot more custom work in there than I thought. Nice work.

You can't see but I also had to modify the back of the CO2 adaptor so it all fits into the buffer tube. Its just an experiment really to see if it can be done.

The video was taken today. It was really cold but the sun was out. The dog is cool with shots, if you look closely she start to tense up as she sees the gun, as she knows what's next. But I hit a bit of dirt which flow in her direction hence she jumped a little. I can get about a mag from the C02 capsule.

Raptor 10, HOLY CRAP!!! I am amazed at the 12 gram mod in the buffer tube. Here is an idea, see if Gumby has any of the old CO2 regs for the old TS-1/ATS in CO2, and switch it out. How many shots are you getting with a 12 gram? Unless I missed something switching out 12-grams is going to be a pain, but that mod is JUST AMAZING!

Did you buy the marker used? If so, that might be by design. Back in the day, it was common for fields and big game promoters to allow full-auto as long as it was limited to less than 10 bps. Accordingly, ATS would, if asked, install a pin in one of the air passages which would restrict the airflow,and thus the rate of fire.

My AT-85 had the restrictor, and even after the requirement was lifted, I kept it in; I liked the sound, which had a distinct heavy MG tone to it (in fact an ex-military teammate said, like russc, that it sounded like an M2, especially with the loudener). Also, I never had a feed jam while I had it in; YMMV, but I thought the lower cyclic rate seemed to make it more reliable. I figured I didn't need the extra 2 bps that bad...

Nice setup, by the way.

Huh, I'd actually prefer the 10bps restrictor. That's really cool, I had no idea that was an option. Gumby, if you're reading...where did you restrict the airflow? I assume it's just pinching the one of the ports to the main ram?

It's not not meant to be a quick change set up, more than anything an experiment to see if it can work. I suppose it could have an application as a back up, 20 shot is not bad for that? Also for 'room clearing' I just screw in 13ci HPA bottle which gives me up to 5mags worth of air.

This may be the case, as this marker is quite old (SN: A13184), I bought it used from the US. If I knew where the modification was made I can check it out. But is worth noting I have had similar issues on other makers and the cause was the regulator. Regardless, thanks for the information.

That makes sense; you'd have the same effect whether you had the pin installed, or your reg was just goobered up with paint or dirt. I don't think you could tell the difference unless you opened it up or it started getting worse.

Regrettably, I can't help you or russc with the location of the restrictor; I never had my gun far enough apart to locate it. At the time I was told by several regular ATS users (including The Man himself) that if I was happy with the way it was shooting, don't mess with the reg... and after Gumby rebuilt it for me, I never had a problem that needed reg adjustments.

You know, if you left the stock and buffer tube off, you'd have a pretty good approximation of an AR pistol or short barrel rifle setup, and there go any co2 reloading issues...

Thanks. That does look very nice. I am going to see if I can find a similar piece of foam tubing to adapt the stock/CO2 adaptor.
