I bought this off Jacko, but it was in a seriously depressing state (no offence, mate!) It's now 40mm couplered for the shotgun attachment and 20mm conduit couplered. I use a 15" PETG barrel (not pictured) range is aboout from my front doorstep to really far up the street, so far that I worry I might hit someone because I can't see them. It blasts through pizza boxes, then dents the wall. Yeah, I'll have to fix those dents.. I plan to replace the pump, because this one sucks ballz, also may get another Maverick and use it's shell for this, because this shell is hacked all to hell. Think it may have been cut with tin shears or something. Trigger is now linked directly to the firing pin with beading wire, no slack. The trigger pull was a little hard, especially if you want accuracy, so I removed the extension spring that pulls the trigger back, it's now just relying on the spring in the Titan tank. It was actually holding the valve open, because the wire connecting the trigger was so tight, but with a bit of wiggling and what not, it came a tiny touch looser, so is now right on the edge. The pump is shit, I hate it. It takes about sixteen pumps until I'm confident the tank is full (as much as the OPRV will allow) because the OPRV makes a weird noise that's hard to distinguish. Hopefully get a ball pump or bike pump on it soon, my 4B takes four pumps to kick the OPRV in, I know the Titan has a bigger tank, but 4x the 4B is crap. Not sure what to do about some kind of sights, too, because the Maverick shell gets in the way of looking down the barrel and if you aim with the Maverick sights, you aim two inches too high. Would like to put a brass slide breech on it, will hopefull be able to do that when my parcel comes from Launceston tomorrow or the next day. I also moved it around and cut the shell to have the tubing on the right, because I'm left handed. I have now made an adapter out of 40mm PVC and a 20mm conduit coupler, so I can use 20mm Conduit barrels. I did have (as shown in the pictures) a piece of 40mm PVC with a 1' barrel permenantly stuck into it, which is uneeded now.
I plan to do a lot of cosmetic work, including a new shell, relocated pump tubing along with a new pump, a paint job. I may update this alltogether with a write up, in the future, because there's nothing like it in the directory.
This sloppiness will not be there soon.
Cheers,
Cody
