Or you can just glue a small o-ring to the valve pin, That way when the hammer hits it, all the air is going out the barrel and not toward the hammer.

And Its really sweet when the back, behind the bolt, is cut off. Just to get rid of extra weight(and to look good).

That might help with your solenoid woes.

I think all you would need to do is link a pump arm (yellow) from the pump (blue) to the internals (red). However, you will need to elongate the hole in the bolt so when it's cocked, you can bring the pump back forward. Then just find a weak enough spring to move the striker hard enough to release just enough air to fire the shot.

i think i will.  The Snyder shall be born!  and if i see you at fatcat or somewhere, i'll might let you play a round with it, Monk.... 

how much should i offer my friend for his.  he's a good friend and i don't want to rip him off...  i was thinking offering him 20, 21, 22, 23, and then 30.  if that doesn't work, then 35.

hmm... now plans of how i'll convert it into a pump...

pm me any ideas...  diagrams/mspaintings would be nice.

can you put the timmy style volumizers on them?  so you can mount a reg and whatnot?  because i have a friend who's selling his...

Meh. I just use the Kingman forums. They don't seem too bad, but I seldom get on, so you'll just have to see.

Link

And yeah, the e-grips should just bolt right on. That's the plus side of sear trippers.

Oh, Otter's Customs has some pretty kick-butt do it yourself mods. I recommend you check them out.

I'm thinking other than some trigger mods and maybe my palmer i'll for the most part leave it alone.  Pre travel is spot on but there's some extra post travel to deal with and maybe a lighter spring.  I really have no idea what mods are available but the spimmy mod looks way too expensive.  I might hack the top of the bolt guard off.

Can I strap a spyder electro grip on it? bolt on and go?

I need direction for cheap, performance upgrades.  Which spyder forum is best? link?

I think it works I aired it up and dry fired it and its nice and loud
