Merlin Extrusion --> Working Gun

Looking at
This:
I think I'm gonna call it the "Valkyrie" . . . . - PbNation
and this:
Just a teaser... - PbNation


What exactly needs to be done to make a working gun? if anyone one could point me in the direction of a moving diagram to what the finished piece would resemble it would be great. I'm kinda confused at how the bottom tube will work. (waits for 'duh!' moment) Would you use a ram (like a bushmaster's) and spyder-type valve? What about the barbs and hosing?

I really just need a cross section view to figure it out

You need to copy a viking, Sans the drivers side tube.

Use a viking ram, mount the solenoid strait on the bottom of the extrusion and rout airlines (toughest part)

Space the merlin / viking valve exactly the same way the viking does, LPR on the front that puts air to the solenoid, vertical adapter. Trigger frame to hold board, solenoid, and battery.

Good luck.

Its really simple if you know the way the gun works, hard part will be mounting the solenoid.

Look at any bushmaster, intimidator, viking, ego, cyborg, or other 2 tube poppet valved gun to understand the operation. I am sure there is a GIF diagram of those guns. Poke through pbnation. Maybe even here.

Lower end guns like the bushmaster BKO and DP fusion use a spring to return the ram, versus air from the solenoid. Though, they work pretty much the same.

looks like a future generation if the evil Ehm would have looked like, basicaly its a stacked tube design likea cyborg, bushy, timmy ego etc.

But on a lesser note, AKA had actualy designed the first viking proto types like this, but they thought they would make them sear trippers, then they came out with the 3 tube design from the excal extrution.

I go to shoot and play with that "Evil Ehm " gun it would have been impressive and it too was a block waiting for an artist jsut like the raw extrution is.

Trey, no disrespect but I gather from your other posts recently that you don't even have any of the machines yet. And from this as well as the other posts I'm suspecting that you've done little if any machining. I'd suggest you start with something a bit less complex before you tackle making a gun from scratch. There's a lot to learn before you begin on a big multi step machining project. There's a lot more to machining metal than just having a drawing and chewing away the scrap until the hunk of metal looks like the drawing.
