Started this project. Started off with a 1022. Took me two years and got it working then got deployed and never got it looking good. Well got a bead blaster from a friend and started painting. Think it turned out nice. Turns every head on the line.125891125892

Very Nicely done - I remember when you could find the full-auto Tippman's just never had the money when they were available.

More of a M1921 / M2 watercooled with the dual grips, but me likely! How many .22's does it take to get the water boiling?:bigsmyl2:

Thanks for the kind words. The plans showed both pistol and spade handle grips, decided on the spade handles they were not as flimsy. Love to get it to boil water, dont think it will happen with ten round mags, but i can get the barrel nut loose.

Where did you get the plans? Would be a great project for my grandson and I--He is in second year of metal shop at his high school and is really enjoying machine shop this year. He completed his structural welding certification last year. He is building a steam engine from scrap materials, now not a kit. I have to say his instructor really impresses me with his teaching skills and the progress he makes with these teen aged kids. May never use these skills to make a living, but you can't take it away after learning.

Guess he can make it in my shop as probably be a no-no at school. His school suffered a total lockdown this year because students carrying a video tripod across the football field during class time were identified by some nut as carrying a rifle. Lots of differences between my school time (50s and 60s) and the present. I built a ballistic pendulum while in high school and shot into it for testing on campus.

Hi Bear67
The plans came from, ccsprints.com. or coffee cup stain prints. They were good and easy to use.
Hope you enjoy
