some time ago I picked up the barrel for a Hornet - a somewhat rare oddball from way back when - and since then its languished on my project pile

today while taking a little nap I figured out how to make the pump for it

this is what the past couple of hours has resulted in. It works!!





and here is what I am recreating

now all you need to do it duckslide-style the whole thing.

that's cool ... i want one

Cool mod, i have never seen it before. Its a good idea realy. Cool recreation of some neat nostalgia. Did you profile the body's feedport like the old school ones too?

I am using an actual Hornet barrel

I added a decorative touch to the end of the first pump I made

it was some random, I don't know why I save them, aluminum spacer for between hard drive platters from between an OLD OLD OLD scsi drive I took apart years ago

lol

I had to hammer it on. Used a big flat file as a broad surface to get it on evenly, and a 3lb sledge. It aint budging.

it now has several coats of rustoleum drying on it

the 2nd pump is a stock class horizontal feed setup. In progress, obviously

excuse the crappy pic

:P

okay - the hopper pump is done, and I like how it turned out

Is the barrel a unibody configuration?

nice finishing touch with the hopper pump...

FYI though you have probably seen it. There is a guy selling a hornet on mcb.

That is simply awesome!
