I emailed you.

Try Mouser.  Sent some info by email on switches they have..

Here is one from Jameco Electronics.

The width is really close and looks like it should fit.  The height should be ok.  It is 12v rated.

Nice work!  What pitch did you go with?

They look great!  How many volts/what battery are you running and what did you use for the auger?

The ones I am familiar with, and have made many of them myself, do not screw into the bottom of the valve body itself.  They were made to thread into the bottom of the mag body (the steel frame part that the valve body sits on top of) so you could screw it in until the top, flat end of the adapter contacted the seal where the CO2 cartridge tip would normally get pierced and seal.  That is located at the end of an expansion chamber that screws into the valve body and through the mag body (frame) to hold the mag head and frame together as well as to provide an additional seal in the valve body.

In the Blackbird it is different as it wasn't made to have a CO2 cartridge IN the vertical mag body.

I have a drawing and pictures I can post when I can get to them.

Those original bulk air adapters were very simple, but did require the CO2 piercing lever and related parts to be removed (they were not needed for the use of HPA or bulk CO2) from the mag body and the bottom hole had to be threaded.  It was a 3/8" thread as I recall.

Working my a$$ off!  But, I am taking a few days off and will be getting some stuff done over the next several days.

I left work today and started the relaxation with some Metallica, Priest, Nugent, and ACDC on the ride home.

I am picking up another scuba tank tomorrow so I will have plenty of air. 

Rock on!

Holy cow!  8000 rpm on the spring, or is that the motor?

My suggestion was just like you did with the BBs in the tub out of the bottom of the mag, or out the top of the mag with the valve body off.  Just an idea of the pickup in the auger for the first scenario, and then around the 90 degree angle and up the mag neck to make sure the larger diameter and softer lead can make the bend.

Not sure what you mean by peaks and valleys.

I got my Rap5.  It is heavier than expected.  I haven't gassed it up yet.  It is nice!  Can't wait to shoot it. I  have a couple of more new additions as well.
