Basicly, its not possible. The only useable parts would be the trigger and possibly the hammer. But thats assuming the hammer has enough weight for the vale to stay open the correct amount of time (dwel). Basicly you would need to build a whole new gun from scratch, and while there are several people up to the task, none of them are going to walk you through it as its just too much time, and one of those things that if you cant figure it out, your probly not up to building it

On the plus side, there is someone here at MCB who is working on a revolver (not shure if it actualy revolved or just looked like it) Theres a thread in this section about it, however the owner removed pictures of the plactic prototype for various reasons.

You can do one of four things:

1. forget the project and use the 3357 as is
2. Wait for someone to build a 68 revolver and buy one from them, And I can gaaurentie its not going to be cheap ( 600-1200 easy)
3. Buy a Tiberious 8 or 9, same basic function only with two more shots and differant looks
4. Take the time and design one yourself(this should take at least a year, and basicly be a scale model only on paper) and then build it/paysomeone to build it

Sorry man, converting the 3357 to 68 just aint going to happen

Although, ya know there is a simple way to "design" a new one. Just scale all of the 3357's parts up to use a Nightmare valve (they are almost identical).

Catchya on the Flip Side.....

Emerald Wolf -- has a couple of other ideas rolling around...

A less extensive mod might be to convert a 3357 to the .55 PMI Sportshot paint, this should be fairly doable and the paint is both new and made for shooting out of PB guns, so it's much more likely to A. fly halfway decent and B. actually break on target. The 50 cal blowgun paint I have used in the past has tended to do neither of these things.

PMI SportShot Paintballs - Discount Paintball, Paintball Loaders, Tanks, Marker Guns, Paintballs, Paintball Gear - DiscountPaintball.com
at $40 a case not too bad, this is simply the first result on a google search and not a site I know anything about, by the way.

You might as well ask to convert your goat to be a horse. Lots of hacking will get you there, but the end result will neither work nor look good.

I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.

Hey:

I'd suggest getting a sergusion frame-I think is what they are called available at bluesoldier. Then have palmers build you up a gun.

Just a thought.
