Are you looking for something like this? I can build you one.

I have rigs from Fright Props and DC Props. The Fright Props are terrific but are a bit stripped down. For example, got the small lunger and after firing it just slammed down. Called them and Doug said I needed a speed controller to get it to work better (go to the rest position slower). The DC Props already came with the speed valves (two of them) so it was good to-go. If you are really just looking for the steel rigging then Fright Props is great. If you're a newbie to pneumatics then DC Props. But, they are both great riggings and great companies.

Here's the Small Lunger rig from Fright Props:








This is the Horizontal Mover from DC Props:

There once was an awesome website called "Vile Things." Eric Suiter, the creator built some incredible armature-based props..and then he was gone!

He's back with a web blog. You can try contacting him there. His stuff was out-of-this-world. Very imaginative engineering and the detail on his props was pro-quality.
