ARAKYEL Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I used: to the flask - boards 180 mm wide x 250 mm long x 40 mm thick. On the barrel of PVC sewer pipe - 75 mm in diameter and 63 mm in diameter To the core - to clean water pipes PVC 1 / 2 "- 21 mm outside diameter, and covers of electric conductors - rectangular 20 mm wide The final result: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchy Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 For the tube rings I have used car door rubbers. For the rubber sleeve I have used the inner tube of a bicycle.. The master was made in wood and pvc piping. When assembled I added the brass swivels and slings. and then it will look like this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARAKYEL Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I used universal window rubber secion'D' and for the crowning I used cup of PVC pipe 75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray1134 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 minor thread hijack here, but I've been looking at possibly making a T-21 at some point. I'm lousy at wood working. I'm more likely to cut my thumb off than anything . Is there an existing way to get the stock and "gun" portions. Is there an airsoft rifle, bb gun, anything like that that people have seen that would match up? Some google searching and I have found a partial answer, anyone have experience with these or the sellers? http://www.foxflier.com/lewis/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I think Fox Flier and Cushman paintball make vac formed versions of the T21. You might also want to contact Woodchuck a member on here who makes great wood versions of them. I'm in the middle of my T-21 build tutorial as we speak. I already created a template for it (see BFG section) If you can wait a while, you can review it and see if it's something you can make yourself. It hasn't been that hard so far (knock on wood!).

dutchy Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I wouldn't go for the foxflier one but the Cushman's. I believe it is vac formed and the overall(complete) package is way better than the one foxflier offers because that still needs some modding, and the price quality setting is really good of the Cushman... Some of the members have one..or had one. But nothing's compared to a good scratch build.. Also bear in mind that weight can or could be a issue here because you will be carrying that bad boy all day when trooping..and then a few kgs/ pounds can make a difference In the end it's up to you buddy.
