I purchased a black rectangular supposed 3/4" qev from china. Firstly the hole that the seal seals against is maybe 1/3" and the gold colored threaded in insert is 1/2" threaded internally. Are they all like this and can anything be done to enlarge the hole in the end of the gold insert or would it not seal if enlarged? Is this a problem or is the size big enough?
Do the rounded shape QEVs have larger internal holes?
Thanks
QEV outlet port size??

The rounder QEVs usually have flows more congruent with the threading but for the purposes of what you're doing, the rectangular one should be just fine.

Could t help myself so I ordered a true 3/4" Parker Hannifin, the plan was to make two eventually anyway as I ordered a 12mm (just under your 1/2") the other day as I was diappounted with the 12pounds. Power from an 8mm.
Also decided to have a go at home made projectiles a 12mm mols is available, but thought why not diy one from mdf or wood and if that doesn't work metal, they will list have to be drill end shaped as I don't have a mill to make a mold or patience to use a file. All things considered whether they are rounded or more point is going to make no difference to me.
If i use wood mold, anyone got pointers, or does the wood need covering with any type of release agent or will they just pop out if the mold is nice and smooth?
Thanks

Are you going to use lead? 700-750 deg. lead will burn a wood mold. Steel molds need to be smoked. YouTube is a good source for how to videos on casting. You can buy Lee molds for under $30.

Was thinking of using lead and maybe try wood, maybe put it in freezer before hand?
If that doesn't work I have some aluminum I can use, the projectiles may not be the best design aerodynamically, but they will at least be a good fit in the barrell,.
Currently have ambitions for two setups, plans wouldn't be the correct term
as nothing has been designed really. I have an 8.5mm and a 12mm (just under your half inch). Pain in the behind d getting slingshot ammo (more often than not imperial) and barrel bores to match. My country (UK) seem to use a combination of both imperial and metric systems!!!!!
