Drozd and Blackbird Discussion / Re: BB Feed Sleeve Mod.
« on: June 29, 2017, 05:51:45 AM »
Hello East Milford,

I stopped taking velocity readings early on in my builds. It wasn't very important to me how fast it shoots. I was more into what it can destroy. Heh! ;)
Also, I am not a huge fan of super fast RPM rates. I like to shoot at around 800 rpm. It feel more like a firearm at that rate, and is very satisfying to me (eh, ...to each his own).

As for accuracy, a "jelly bean" at 50' typically within one to three shots. I have thought about using Walther barrels, but never got around to it. I'm ok with my DrozdMax barrels Ray gave me years back.

Nicely done. Great ideas!

I ported my whole air feed system from the inside of the HPA regulator on the tank all the way to the mag head. Anything that could be done. I posted photos and How-to about it all on the old forum somewhere some years back. It did make a very noticeable difference in power.

TBK, have you taken it apart yet?? If not, when you do, take photos of the guts and post them. I am very curious as to how it works inside.

 ;D ;D ;D Just kidding. It's called the "Fizz Giz"

This is an interesting video on how to make a refillable CO2 12g bulb. Machining skills needed, but interesting none-the-less.

I reported on these refillable CO2 bulbs on the old forum at one point. If anyone is interested, I'll tell you what I think about them.

That's great E.M.
Thanks for the photos. I'm sure others will find them inspiring!

We have talked about the need to have another "claw" on the other side of the breech nut before in the old forum. I don't think anyone has done anything similar to what you did with the roll pin you used.
The whole breech to mag head design Baikal engineered is a poor one. The mag head and breech both need to be redesigned.
At least you came up some solutions. I like to see that ingenuity!
Sharing ideas has always lead to improvements, and we need to keep it up.

That's great! I look forward to seeing the photos and what you did.

Your mod is a "simple" way to fix the breech problem, but radical at the same time.
The alignment I have achieved is perfect on all my guns. I am happy with it. One of my mag head to breech alignment fixes and better seal mods was to do something sort of what you did. I also removed material from the barrel so that I could screw the barrel further through the breech nut. I could then hand tighten the barrel's breech in contact with the valve body's face. That mod eliminates the breech nut's gasket altogether. There are other things I did to help with the seal as well. When the barrel is hand tight, I cannot remove the magazine but it is easy to do by loosening the barrel. Again, I am happy with it.

As for prototype modding the breech as I have said in my previous post, it is involved and not something most would want to try to do themselves. It involves machine work and has to be pretty flawless.

Thanks for the offer on the nuts and valve bodies!  I am all set on that stuff though.

Hello E.M.
Excellent on the bb capacity! That extra bb weight in the front of the gun would be a great counter-balance for batteries in the Blackbird's stock.

As for your breech mod, I am sure everyone will want to see what you did ( I sure do). "Zero air leak" is what we have all wished to have. I have designed a solution to this problem a while back also, but it involves redesigning the breech nut and I haven't gotten around to milling a prototype yet (someday...).
Can you post some photos of your solution?

Interesting on the fps increase. Keep on modding!

Great Idea! That ought to double bb capacity. Have you counted capacity yet?

I haven't touched it since the beginning of summer. Same thing with my other airguns. Been busy with other projects.
