My tap & die set finally got here, after I had to reorder it.. Here it is!! She's done!

Fin to start,, kinda backwards, but i'm too lazy to change them around. :Crazy:

Thread is updated!!

[Edwin]

Looks very nice Andrew.....
I guess there were enough threads in there!!!

How many Tribals do you have as I know you parted out one?

[bakerboy4679]

Uhh, 3 working and the 1 I parted out.
1. BBT parting out
2. Mephisto for sale
3. Mephisto
4. Blue/Black BBT


And a little update/question. I aired it up, with the gauge installed, and it didnt fill it much past the 'zero box' on the gauge.

Edwin, the air mush circulate throughout the lpc, in order for your LPC to actually function?! It seems as if the air doesnt get past the AOC.. funny I know.. but thats how it looks?!
ideas?

[Edwin]

It is a volumizer!!! I just gives more volume of LP air than the stock AOC does.

Think of it like an Air Compressor Tank. If you have a bigger tank (more volume) you can fill more car tires before the compressor kick back on. With a small tank, your pressure would drop so much just to fill one tire.

Same thing with the LPC. When you shoot the LP doen't drop as much so the LP stays more consistant. For instance, AOC might drop 105psi to 85psi everytime you shoot, and the AOC might drop 105psi to 100psi. There are several advantages to this: More consistant pressure to your noid/ram, able to use a lower cocking pressure (less ball breaks), possible more efficient (since it can operate at a lower pressure, higher BPS since you have more air and less chance of drop off.

Hope that helps.

I understand that, I was confused though because my gauge doesnt read any pressure from teh AOC!! the gauge is fine, but for some reason it wont read any pressure..

[Edwin]

Does your gun cycle???

[bakerboy4679]

Yep, sure does.

[warpedmephisto]

What pressure range is your gauge?

[goose]

it should give you a pressure read out as it is just like an oversized aoc guage basically

Looks better at a different angle, but here you go.

[warpedmephisto]

Put one of those tiny gauges like on Edwin's site and it'd look really nice.

[bakerboy4679]

What small gauges???

[Edwin]

This one:

$15 shipped for gauge only.

[bakerboy4679]

OOOO well I saw the little barbs and was confused. I'll look into that Edwin. So it has the LPR threading on it? those barbs arent on the gauge?? I'm very misled..... :ThumbsU3:

[warpedmephisto]

Yeah, the back is 1/8-27 threaded and it also has internal 10-32 threads. Thats where that little T-fitting screws into.

[Edwin]

I just made that so people could test LPRs with ASP Adapter by unplugging the 1/8" hose and putting that gauge in-line.


I probably should reduce the price on that gauge anyway.....

[bakerboy4679]

I'll let you know soon enough about that Edwin.. Other things first however.. :(

Well, it works with a different gauge, that much is clear!

[KevinB]

IS that a tribal between your legs? Or are you just happy to see me?


Nicely done.

[JaKaL]

...figured it was probably the gauge.

Some of the crappier gauges aren't very accurate...

[bakerboy4679]

Yeah, and YES, lol, it's between my legs.... hahha.. but you are pretty hot... :rotf2:
