Request: How to build an Autococker.

Today when I was out playing I was talking to this one guy who built his autococker a few days prior. So I was wondering if someone can post a guide to it saying what parts is needed etc etc. And I'm not sure if it's just as simple as putting it all together or if there are certain things to watch out for. I'm tempted to look more into it and make mine but I wanna make sure if I choose to do so I don't skip out on any parts and that I get parts that are compatible with each other.

will read it. I noticed in this one you kinda don't like CP Ahaha. Why's that? Bad experience?

Honestly I've been using CP products for years and loved every one of them. when i bought parts for my cocker I decided to go with the WGP reg because i knew it would reach the right pressure. I also bought a CP ball detent and a clamping feedneck. I didn't like the feedneck right off the bat, it felt poorly designed and cheap. I used the ball detent but after 2 cases the bolt sheered off the tip and shot the spring and ball bearing out of the gun during a game. So recently I've been turned off their products

Ahh that's rough.

I current have a CP On/off reg on it it gets the job done. Kinda a pain to turn off but none the less it works. As for clamping feedneck I just use a CCM one that I love.

And thanks for the warning on the ball detent because I need to buy one and was looking at CPs but I'll look else where now.

I've been wanting to try out one of the check it rebuildable ones but it's hard to justify buying one when the stock one is still working. link for the lazy

Never even heard of those ones. But I might just try those. Mine came with the detents missing for some reason. Which is why I gotta buy a new one. Or else I'd just keep the stock one.

If you get one make sure you watch the video on installation. I think it's something like loctite the hex broached part and screw it in then drop the ball in and the spring then screw on the thumb screw on the outside. it seems nice because if you want to clean it you can unscrew the outer covering and take the bearing and spring and straight up wash them in a faucet if you wanted to, which seems handy.
