Title: I need a hand finding something
Post by: MikeBjerum on May 08, 2013, 11:21:47 PM: I'm getting old, and it shows more everyday.

I had some plans that I got off the net for free for building an AR "blue gun" from PVC pipe, plumbing insulation, duct tape, etc. I built about a half dozen of these over the last few years, but gave them all away. It has been a year since I left my last one with a department, and now I have a request for a few more. Sadly I can't find the plans.

I can't remember where I found the plans, but I know they came off the net.

Any and all help appreciated!

Please!

rv8tr,

The one I've done would be mistaken for an AR across the room in dim light. It was done with a combination of pvc, wood, and pipe insulation. I can't believe I lost it! Well, yes I can :-[

What search did you use to find the images?

Looks like that might be what M58 described.

Now just need to find a parts list

Sad thing is Pincus is going to use those two fingers to punch me in the throat and ...

I can't believe I forgot PDN :-[

Thanks Justwannashoot!

When I first found it there was a link to materials, but I can figure that out myself again. Like I said, I've made them before, and they always seem to be given away. Hopefully I will get a couple put together by Wednesday evening.

When I get it done I will post materials list, plans and photos, so that the next time I loose them you guys will get me out of the sling AGAIN.
