Building An Autococker (or Sniper Pump) 101

Here is an in-depth list of parts required to build your Autococker. Whether you're starting out with just a body kit and need to know what parts to buy, or you're looking to upgrade what you already have, this list will point out everything you'll need.

*Video to come soon*

In-depth Autococker Parts List

Parts Common to all Autococker / pump / mid / half-block markers
● Body – Milled body with upper and lower tube. Upper tube holds the breech and bolt, lower tube holds hammer, valve, and associated springs.
o Different body styles:
▪ Full-size
▪ Mini
● Approximately 1.25 inch cut off front of lower tube, vertical ASA directly integrated into front block.
▪ Mid-block
▪ Half-block
▪ Midget
● Mini-style front, some meat cut off back.
● Front block
o Mechanical / electronic
▪ Low pressure regulator
▪ Ram (with or without QEV’s)
▪ 3-way
● On electronics, solenoid + manifold
o Connects to grip frame via wiring harness
● On mechanicals, standard 3-way
o Connects to grip frame via timing rod and timing collar
▪ Full body length
▪ Mini body length
▪ Trilogy length (fixed length, no collar)
▪ If using a mini front block, there’s likely a ⅛” NPT plug required on the bottom (or a low pressure, 0-400PSI gauge)
▪ 3-way pneumatic hose
o Pumps
▪ pump handle,
▪ guide rods,
▪ springs
o All front blocks are attached with a banjo bolt to the body, through the front block.
▪ On non-pumps, a volumizing banjo bolt may be used to increase available valve chamber space (more important on older bodies)
● Vertical ASA
o On mini / midget bodies, the ASA is integrated into the front block, or attaches to the front block via a ⅛” NPT adapter
o On all other bodies, sits between the front block and grip frame.
▪ Comes in 15*, 0*, and -15* versions
● High Pressure regulator
o On modern autocockers (really with the appropriate springs) should be able to provide between 150 and 400 psi to gun. Older bodies with narrower valve chambers may need higher pressure
● Pump arm
o Connects either the ram or the pump handle to the (what I’ll call) bolt carrier group
● Bolt carrier group
o Consists of a bolt, block, and rod or pin to connect the block to the hammer
▪ Bolt – Pre-2k length, 2k length, evo length, mid-block length
▪ Block
● Pre-2k length (looks like a P)
● 2k length (looks like a rectangle)
● Evo length (looks like a reverse P)
● Midblock – sled that rides between upper tube and lower tube
● Halfblock – sled that rides on lower tube (no upper tube)
▪ Rod or pin – connects the block to the hammer
● Pre-2k, 2k, and evo blocks will connect to hammer via cocking rod through back of body and a pin connects the block to the bolt
● Mid and half blocks connect to a slotted hammer via pin from top of bolt through the top of the lower tube
● detent
o WGP bodies generally use a spring-retained ball detent
o Some body styles use Timmy / Spyder / Piranha style rubber detents
o A few body styles (Merlins IIRC) use wire detent
● Beaver tail
o Usually threads behind the grip frame into the body
o Some body styles don’t have that hole threaded and require a special, fixed location IVG
● Lower tube internals
o Valve + valve pin + valve spring
▪ Trilogy / merlin valve
▪ Standard autococker valve (brass, stainless steel, etc)
▪ MQ (electronic) valve – replaces all lower internals with electronic valve and solenoid
o Valve nut – threads behind valve into lower tube securing it in place
o Valve guide plug – threads through bottom of body to hold valve in place
o Hammer
▪ On non-MQ valves:
● Non-slotted hammers for full-size, mini bodies
● Slotted hammers for half block and mid block markers
o Sear lug
▪ Adjustable height to control timing
▪ Square and round varieties
o Main spring
▪ On all non-MQ bodies – sits between hammer and IVG. Forces hammer into valve to fire marker
o IVG
▪ Fixed: non adjustable versions available in some kits (belsales, Merlin)
▪ Adjustable – usually threads into lower tube of body to adjust velocity of marker
▪ Hybrid – Karnivor style. IVG stays fixed to the body, but inner adjustment screw allows additional pressure to be applied to mainspring
● Grip frame
o All frames will have grips of some form and sears of some form of solenoid / electronics
o Electronic
▪ eBlade
▪ Race frame
▪ Centerflag Uprising frame
▪ ???
o Mechanical
▪ Slide frame
● Metal or plastic
● Trigger plate
o Circular hole or oval hole for timing rod (all newer cockers use circular hole)
● Trigger shoe – attaches to trigger plate, what you pull on
● Sear – roller or standard, held in place by pin
● Trigger spring – sits between back of trigger plate and frame
● Sear spring – sits between sear and support in the grip frame
● Safety, safety spring, safety ball bearing (seriously, who uses them?)
▪ Hinge frame
● Trigger – held in place by pin
● Sear – held in place by pin
● Lever or spring to push against top of trigger
● Sear spring – sits below sear and support in the grip frame
● Safety, safety sprint, safety ball bearing
▪ For pump markers
● Auto-trigger kit may be attached to pump arm and frame
● ASA – screw your tank or remote into this.

Basic and essential parts check list
Use this list to cross/double check that your Autococker has all the necessary parts.

Mechanical
  1. Feedneck
  2. Bolt
  3. Barrel
  4. 3-way
  5. Regulator (LPR)
  6. RAM
  7. Pump Arm
  8. Lower Internals (Valve, Valve Guide Plug, Valve Nut, Hammer, Springs, IVG, Cocking Rod)
  9. Trigger Frame
  10. ASA
  11. Regulator (HPR)
  12. Detent
  13. Beaver Tail

Pump
  1. Feedneck
  2. Bolt
  3. Barrel
  4. Pump Kit (Pump handle, guide rod, springs)
  5. Pump Arm
  6. Lower Internals (Valve, Valve Guide Plug, Valve Nut, Hammer, Springs, IVG, Cocking Rod)
  7. Trigger Frame
  8. ASA
  9. Regulator (HPR)
  10. Detent
  11. Beaver Tail

Electronic
  1. Feedneck
  2. Bolt
  3. Barrel
  4. Solenoid Manifold
  5. Regulator (LPR)
  6. Ram
  7. Pump Arm
  8. Lower Internals (Valve, Valve Guide Plug, Valve Nut, Hammer, Springs, IVG, Cocking Rod)
  9. Trigger Frame
  10. ASA
  11. Regulator (HPR)
  12. Detent
  13. Beaver Tail


There are also a couple specialty tools you will need for full disassembly, beyond a good set of hex/allen wrenches.

-Valve Removal Tool
-12pt 1/4" Socket

Valve removal tools are pretty easy to pick up on the web both new and used.
I got my 12pt socket at Sears.

● Approximately 1 inch cut off front of lower tube, vertical ASA directly integrated into front block.

I always take 1.25" off to be exact.

● Mini-style front, some meat cut off back. Can only be used with MQ valves.

Not true, I have built about five mechanical mini, midget, halfblocks. All have worked fine, you just have to play with spring combos a lot.

So this isn't quite an autococker. But here is the break down of parts you need to make a pump.



This is what it looks like after assembly and before anno

Awesome addition.

Does anyone have a similar picture to make a full cocker?

Craftsman from Sears. Nice and easy if there's one local. Perhaps a note on making your own valve tool from an appropriate hex wrench....
