because its even rarer when you convert a sydarm into a pump... :rolleyes: no really, it is!

Very nice Burphel!

I'd swap the 3.5oz for a 13cu hpa tank though... sydarms like to freeze after 5 fast shots of CO2... i learned that the hard way last year at Shatner... :eek:

Well, considering it took *no modification* to do it, why not? When I get the rest of the pieces for the pumpmag's final setup, it'll go back to being a plain-ol' rare Sydarm :).

I'd keep the pump on the sydarm. Thats awesome. Get a stock and a 12 gram adapter

Or you could've played up in Taranta with that Burph, only keep the pump handle on. You could've used it semi-like. Those unsuspecting people would've never known what hit 'em! Mwahaha.

2 things. The body and the valve :cool:

Obviously, you've got a body with the solder'd on spring feed and 12g adapter.

The valve, instead of having a side port for a 3/8" hose, has a set of o-rings and small holes that seal inside the body and pass up to the 12g adapter. This allows for a smaller volume for the 12g to fill when pierced and ups the shot count a tad.

On mine, I've subbed the 12g adapter for a CA adapter. It's kinda a double reversal, but I don't have a regular body that'll take a pump at the moment, and changing 12g's on the Sydarm is a PITA compared to my other pumps, so there it is.
