Carbine Overdrive

Pictures of the new prototype for the Overdrive system.




Overdrive is a pneumatic bolt system for the 68/pro carbine, ive hit 10bps on it fairly easily with a thumb-operated test valve.

Just cut the new end cap today, new striker core and shell too. The trigger system is driving me nuts, i caved in and just made a little casing for the Clippard valve i had and stuck it in the old RT slot i had cut in my grip.

Ill get a nice firing video up as soon as i can get a new QEV from clippard, the thing wigged out last night and jammed up.

Now a bit of a style choice, your voice can be heard, or something. The big blank smooth end cap extension is boring, it needs spicing up, so how should i pretty it up? Kiolia suggested just cutting a smooth taper from the back of the reciever to the QEV like a cone. My idea is to cut deep grooves in it so it would look like a cylinder on a motorcycle engine.

Its finally here. Good Job, get those vids up.

wow

OOOO ya you can't cut too deep, you could mount some stuff on it, like a cover or something and go crazy with that.

Of course i can cut deep on a lathe. I just dont have a mill. Or a 5 axis CNC mill like your flame idea would take.

I meant simple stuff like cutting grooves in it like the 98 ebolt or something along those lines.

what would be awesome but mabe hard to do is a body styled after the automag karta body kind of using that end cap like the x-valve and making a body that goes around it plus the fact that you could then make a body meant to house the amazing upgrades you have done to that gun.        Keep the awesome upgrades coming!

Mill 3d letters in it saying 'Carbine Overdrive'
