Old Trooper Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 So what has been done recently These are the outer ring that are seen on the main barrel & the smaller ring is for the barrel end.

Old Trooper Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 These ring are made as the spacers between the main & end barrels. They are cut from PVC coupling pipe connectors. They are placed over each other unit they will fill the gap difference between both barrels. To lighten the forward weight of the blaster I've shorten the pipe and have marked out the parts you won't see and will cut out slits to even lighten it more. You can see one of the internal spacer rings in this pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
