Now I'm hooked...valve stems

[ribbonstone]

Tried my hand at making a replacement valve stem.  Was sure it was going to leak and need at least a bit of lapping...figured I'd take pictures once it was back out to do the lapping work.

Little bugger worked fine on the first try...so no pictures (at lest until tomorrow, am leaving it charged and will see if it held over night).

Delrin is wonderful stuff.

Didn't leak...will take pixs whenever i have to pull it out again for anything that goes wrong, but the charged rifle hasn't changed weight at all (at least to the 1/10th ounce the scale is supose to be accurate to).
