The Semi-Auto BE Blade Project

[tony3]

Well, heres my new project. I have a brass eagle blade in my closest and to turn it semi. I got a friend that is hooking me up with a lpr, 3way, and ram. I'm going to buy an actuator rod, I'm going to make my own custom pump arm for it. I was thinking of mounting the ram on the front of the barrel, to move the bolt back and forth. I'm also going to use the metal bolt front a talon, not the plastic one on a blade. I'm going to mount the 3way on the trigger guard and attach the actuator rod to the trigger. The hard part will be the lpr. I'm going to need to make this thing CA so I can hook up a lpr. I was thinking about welding a SS hose to the back of the valve and hooking up a bottom line. Or I could drill and tapped a hole in an empty 12g, then drill a hole in the 12g holer on a blade and run a hose out of the empty 12g. I need suggestions or anything. I know this won't be easy, but why not give it a shot?

LOL that'd be great!

[HoppysMag]

theres like a whole cult of people who do this to talons. check out the forums if you get stuck good luck ;)

i already got a pic of one from pbn. looks cool its all green and then a red pod is on the front to cover the pnues its all cut so the barrel will fit and stuff. lol its so ugly that it looks cool.

the blade comes with a CA port :)

get a lapco piggyback adapter and you're set!

[tony3]

Kev, can you explain what this so called piggyback adapter is?

[Kevmaster]

two things

1) I was thinking of the saber. the blade doenst have a CA adapter on it.

2) this is the dual adapter from Lapco

Cooper-T also makes something like the piggyback, penguinman over at BEOG did that to his Tigershark and it looks pretty good.

Didn't BE make a constant air adapter a while ago?

[Kevmaster]

it was for the talon. they've never made one for the blade. to make the blade take CA, you'll need to drill and tap the 12g adapter port for 1/8" NPT. Then drill the bottom of the grip frame for a duckbill adapter. Run a hose from the 12g location to the duckbill adapter and put the piggybackadapter in there and you're set

Thats pretty much what I'm going to do kev, just got to get a hold of a tap kit, my old neighbor had one, but he moved...I should really invest in a tap kit...
