Adapted a jerky gun to a battery powered caulking gun. Works amazing!

The rack isn’t long enough to clear the entire cylinder so I ordered a longer one. The rack is very easy to remove and swap in any length you need.

On this particular gun the tube cage is removable. You twist it and then it pulls out. What I did was made a replica of the end that receives into the gun body. I took a piece of 1mm thick stainless sheet metal and formed it into a tube with the correct outside diameter and then formed locking tabs on it the same as original cage. You can see I made this adapter so it sticks out about a half inch from the black ring on the gun body. Obviously that’s so you can grab it and twist it for removal. I then cut a cap with a hole in the center and welded it to the end of the main adapter. Then I disassembled the jerky gun and screwed those components to the adapter. I had to bore out the hole that the original push rod went through because the rack is square and larger. The plunger was adapted to the rack by simply welding the original plunger screw to a screw that fits the threaded hole in the rack. Basically took the 2 different screws and welded them together. I’ll update this with more information if I didn’t cover enough. I don’t know how to add more pictures to this post, it only gives me the option to edit the body.
