Chamber Flush setup pics?

[jareese]

I'm trying not to beat a dead horse here, I see there is quite an extensive thread on "Chamber Flush Parts" I've been back and forth on that for most of the week.

I'd like to ask for pics of your setups if I could - hoses, valves, bypass, tanks, etc. How do you have it run, would you change anything? Why?
I have a carbonator pump and 1/4 HP motor coming along with 5 gallons of Astro Swiss HD MV. I'm trying to decide if I should just use my built in reservoir or get an aftermarket hydraulic tank.

I'm very new to all of this, and totally self taught. I have an inquisitive and mechanical mind so I've not found it very difficult to pick up things. Just the "not knowing" portion slowing me down and making me triple guess everything.

Thanks much for your time!

Pic of groups from my very first chamber - my trigger control needs some work! I've also since changed from the Magpul bi-pod. Don't care for it.

This is the most important part.

I am using the coolant system that came built into the lathe. Works great. Get reamers made for thrue barrel coolant. The key is volume rather than pressure imo.

@LVLAaron - could you explain your valves and connections for me? I see you have a valve, I'm assuming a ball valve, to cut flow to the barrel and redirect back to the reservoir - what is the valve on the "bypass"? Needle valve maybe? (2nd pic) What is it's purpose?

Thanks!

The second valve on the return... probably isn't needed. The ball valve is a nice quick and easy way to get the flow right for the particular barrel you're doing

Thank you sir!

Mine is about as simple as it gets: a 5-gallon bucket for the reservoir, carbonator pump (with a modified spring to lower pressure to about 15 PSI), filter, Deublin rotary union, and a soda bottle splash shield. When not chambering, it makes a great flood coolant system.
