Where I am going with this???****FX M3 IN .22******

[Ca_Varminter]

Well it all started with the talk of the FX Smooth-Twist barrels...
I think I am going back down a Rabbit Hole.....
It starts Here....Cutting up a section of Carbon Fiber tube..


This is going to be scary...
Stuart

[Ca_Varminter]

Well this project is leading me to drill, thread and countersink part of it's barrel block.....

I just finish precisely drilling a 5mm hole and threading it for 6x1 mm....


Here is the parts of my internal 2 piece countersink cutter


This how it looks assembled.


Here is doing it's job in the bore for the Barrel... So there are no burrs in the bore!!


I must be suffering from Covid Psychoses!!!
More to Come... I hope...

A small carbon fibre tube and a new threaded hole, I've absolutely no idea Stuart.

Now I am cutting up some Stainless and Tungsten....
Working a variation of the Double-Tap.....More like a Single Tap!


Stuart

[Ca_Varminter]

Well here is my Single Tap Hammer Spring Guide....

The Tungsten parts to the right, TopHat and Internal weight.
The Guide Stem and Spring are Stainless Steel.


Here is the the Spring sitting in it's counterbore hole in the Tungsten tophat.
The internal Tungsten weight in the bore of the Spring Guide stem.


Finally here it is in all it's glory!!!
The Single Tap Follower ver3.....
Version 1 and 2 died on the workbench....a very gory scene of twisted metal!!!!



I hope your are enjoying this trip......

[Brooksy]

I'm almost enjoying the trip Stuart, but I'm still a bit lost! 

[Ca_Varminter]

Hey Guys
Well here is a More Obvious Nudge.....
Here is a .217 Slug with the Smooth-Twist Slug Barrel Liner!!
With the Carbon Fiber Stiffener Sleeve!!!


Of course No Airgun of Mine will not make the Grade without a Proper Sear Honing with my Diamond hones..



More to Come!!!

Hey Guys...
Well this Adventure is taking to places I haven't been to for Years....
I am needing to do a mod for my S&B PMII scope
So this meant I had to fabricate new Parts from scratch....to My Specs...

I had turn down and bore Some 3" Delrin.


Then Cut to Length.


Next come the Adapter made from Aluminum  That needs turning and Fitting!
Do You See where I am going with This???


All the Required index drilling for the securing screws was done on my Lathe .
Just too lazy to setup the CNC Mill to do all these holes!
Here I am drill the three screw holes to secure the aluminum adapter.
I am using the Jaws of my 3-jaw chuck to index the position of the hole to be drilled.
I lightly secure a small vice-grip on one jaw. Then rest the vice-grip handle against the Lathe bed.


Now I am off to my CNC Mill for Some Final Shaping..
Here is the shaping of the pointer base, in my rotary table on my CNC mill.


Here I am milling Finger notches.


Well If you are Totally Lost, I will tell What I am making....
It is an Large Elevation Knob for my S&B PMII scope!

First is the Pointer base of the Knob... I still have to fabricate a pointer!


Next come the Adapter Post the secures to the Scope's adjustment turret.


Finally the Elevation Knob.....


The finishing touches to follow. The Pointer.
Then the Actual marking on the Knob.
This done using a great little program call Scopeknob by Eric Sanders
First you enter the your setup.. Width of knob, and Diameter.
Next input the how many clicks per turn of the knob. The amount of adjustment per click.
Now you input actual shooting info for various ranges..
It has a built in Ballistic Calculator.
The program now will generate a "tape" the show the range and how many "Clicks" are required.
It also has the ability to fine tune the dimensions of the tape to fit your knob.
Also adjust the click setting for actual ranges you want to adjust!

Here is what it will look like.... this is from my Nikko-Sterling


That's all for Now...
Stuart

[Ca_Varminter]

Well I am still testing my new Project....
Well the Single Tap Hammer Spring Guide is on Ver. 4!!
The press-on design with red Loctite.. did not hold up like I expected..
It came a part after a couple of test shots...

So Here is the Version 4!!!
I had to cut threads in the base and tail.


Now It is screwed together, with a drop of blue loctite to get it all together...


That's all for Now....
Everything will be revealed very Soon!

Stuart

[Squinty]

Had me wondering with the block but I think I recognised the trigger sear

perhaps you shouldn't play a guessing game without changing the image names?

[Ca_Varminter]

Well I am going to reveal my New Toy...
When I get all the Parts in hand.....
Parts are trickling in..... Some from your Side of the Pond!!
So if people can figure out where I am going....
That is Great!!!

I am just enjoying the adventure I am on right Now!!
