EDIT - this is what Mongo's using to test his DD68 Redux and Boxgun Reduxes:


From another thread, here are the standard in-grip 12-gram plug specs, to aid in building an adaptor:

Diameter across the threads is 0.787 inches.

The Redux plug is the grey anodized on the bottom; the Boxgun plug is on top. The Redux plug has 5-6 threads but would be better served with 3-4 similar to the Boxgun as the threads can interfere with the grip panel screws.



Please disregard the slight angle of the photo; measurements are taken on-axis.

Howdy all!

I'd like to try constant air (via remote) on my Redux and had an idea perhaps mOngo or one of the air-smiths would like to help with.

With the Redux or Boxgun, the screw-in CO2 plug could be threaded and a dummy 12-gram attached to the inner end of it.

The outer end could be threaded for a 1/8" quick-disconnect barb allowing a remote to be run.

I found a dummy 12-gram that has a 1/8" fitting on the end. Now I just need a spare plug and someone willing to do some drilling.



Thoughts?

Cool. That's pretty much what I'm envisioning! No bottle on gun though - remote line only.

That remote line thing would work...or you could drill out a Redux Knob 12gram changer down the center so you could run a macroline fitting in it attached to the dummy 12 gram.

However I will say for the record that I am strongly against the idea of a redux or any Duck descendant living on CA, but that's just my personal opinion. To each their own, post pics of this project if you do go this route , it would be interesting to see that's for sure!! You could theoretically mod the feed tube adapter into a direct feed (RF) as well......

Biggest motive for a remote CA option: Canadian winter!
I won't be able to run CO2 in January. :\

I agree with Ironchef though - DD68's should be self-contained markers, ideally.

Given the choice though between shelving my baby in the winter or feeding her properly, I'd rather keep her up and running.

Methinks I will post photo of "the Redux" remote tomorrow............... I'm working at my real job today.
