The Bolt action Traccer Project has begun!! (56k Warning Picture Heavy!) - Page 3

Heres an update for today, did a bit of machining

I have re-tapped a traccer back block to route the macroline through the handle of the stock, blocked it with an asa adaptor and a 1800psi burst disk until i can source a 1/8 npt plug. I also sorted out a new bolt handle today nice and shiney!

I wouldnt run the air like that, that looks unsafe. Bolt handle is from a nelspot right?

Unsafe? Whys that? no its from a crossman ratcatcher upgrade kit, re treaded to M5.

Well youve taped through the threads of the plug, comprimising those and since those are comprimised so are the threads of the micro fittimg. Id recomend making a new valve body, or taping another unit further forward

the donkey adaptor has been expoxied in place, surely by taping another thread through it means its locked in place even more? I am going to make up a custom unit once i get my lathe up and running.

Nope, I wouldnt rely on that with 180psi on it, let alone 1800psi behind it

Wouldn't it be simpler to get a Phantom valve? IIRC they fit Trracers.

but hes in the UK, not US, i dont know if it is possible to get CCI Valve body for the VSC type to be shiped out to UK, (it is, just not sure if WEVO, CCI direct, or similar would, although he could buy from a person here)

P4p3Rc1iP · 03-23-2008, 05:27 AM

I'm sure Wevo would. I've ordered from individual parts from Wevo many times, and I'm in the Netherlands.

hello matey, i mean no offence by this but who runs 1800psi through one of these markers anyway? Co2 is 900psi isnt it?
