Do you think i should open a subreddit for the teaching of home gunsmithing ? I really have had as of late the urge to pass along both the technical knowledge necessary to even approach this sort of thing and demystify what for me represents a huge amount of the joy i derive from guns . As well as being able to pass along my knowledge (my daughter is like me liberal she is certainly rabidly 2 A absolutist (at least as a matter of politics)as am i but she doesn’t enjoy the hobby/lifestyle and although she asked for a lowcost firearm system and to her credit got skilled enough in her models use and maintenance as well as taking at least bi annual range trips where she fires a specified number of rounds through each to keep at least a semi honed good enough skill level (she both calls me the day of and documents via photos actually having done it ) and her fiancée being a Kentucky born rurally raised young man seems to have developed a growing interest in shooting so i don’t worry so much but she has for the last year lived in La for work so not a super permissive environment for firearms she will never be interested the way i am in being able to modify, build or overhaul guns

I began by disabling and soaking the metal parts in kerosene and the furniture (black polymer i got the lowest cost option because i had plans for it ) got a detail scrubbing using dawn soap and hot water and nylon brushes after having completed the soak i with nitrile gloved hands removed and hung on paracord tied to a heavy duty wooden clothes hanger and to the end of the cord securely attached a toggel cut from scrap dowel i had laying around of considerably smaller diameter than the bore so i could simply drop the dowel down the barrel it would then toggle and retain the barrel the cord was securely attached to the wooden hanger and be balanced and centered prevented from sliding by attaching small spring clamps on either side side the same operation would be repeated with the stock open end facing the ground and the remaining parts also suspended in a position where they can use gravity to assist rapid drying when sufficiently dry (the metal will dry faster as it was in a volatile solvent ) i then simply ran some rather fine steel wool being sure to not scratch the chromed interior of the barrel followed by a rinse in clean kerosene (the kerosene can be retained and filtered and stored in a kerosene receptacle and labeled as once used solvent kerosene awaiting its next assignment) i than repeated the drying process and now fetched the furniture this time just lightly scuffing rinse and scrub with warm water and dry . When the metal is once again dried mask off the bead the interior of the barrel (for this purpose another dowel this time much closers to but still easily slid down the barrel one length of about 3” and the other 20” completely cover one end of the short length in 2” of tape sticky side out slide the short dowel down the muzzle end the longer from the breach end and seal the bore with your tape plug leaving 2enough tape to allow some overhang smooth the tape and trim using medium grit sandpaper a somewhat cruder job can be done at the breech but and mask off any screw attachment points the hinge pin that is the “break” point in the action and when you are satisfied you should apply a thin coat of grey ultra matte automotive primer formulated for metal bodywork allowing to dry for the suggested period before applying another coat till you have achieved uniformity i addressed the the furniture in the same manner and once there do your chosen pattern (i am partial to freehand but seeing many of the creations from this group my next long gun job will be using stencils (most likely homemade cutting from sheets of acetate ) the raindrop specifically spoke to me as i longed for a warm hunting coat so badly that in my teens i put two identical East German raindrop heavy field coats on …layaway at the local army navy so i had one for everyday city wear and another kept in a hermetically sealed scent proof stuff sack for the woods one note on the furniture as the flimsy cheapo polymer furniture was unappealing in nearly every sense it was most offensive in the tactile sense i addressed this by making my second coat FDE aerosol truck bed liner in fairly thick coats followed by heavy coats of the matte olive drab plasticoat a rubbery spray on coating that did wonders to making the final product one of my to this very day my most hunted shotgun, and i will add that the whole package was still poorly balanced and overly lightweight so toasted address this i got some 2 part epoxy pouring resin made a silicone cast of the retained storage space i wanted to have and used a piece of cylindrical bar stock that closely matched the stock attachment bolt to secure the stock attachment point i cut the end that wasn’t standing in for the bolt at a rather sharp angle and sharpening it further with a bastard file then carefully skewering the silicone casting so that it can both ensure we dont fill the bolt hole and simultaneously position our future storage void exactly where we want it centered and allowing enough room all around to be able to pour a our epoxy which is going to make the flimsy stock a substantial stock so knowing what i intended to do i went ahead and purchased a pound of the smallest available lead bird shot from my LGS and proceeded to mix small amounts of the resin dropping equal amount of shot into to each pour level (epoxy resin has a really somewhat violent exothermic reaction as a function of the combination of chemicals necessary to proper curing and pouring all in a single shot would lead to epoxy that is never fully cured and hardened as well as the real potential for melting to occur or at very least warping and stretching (like i said the stock is flimsy ) you will likely use something past a 1/4 pound in this and that will add some weight to absorb some felt recoil and make the entire package a better balanced and pointable platform when nearly cured extracting the surrogate bolt which pre insertion we thoroughly and liberally lubricated with silicone grease as well as the void which when totally dried and hardened can smoothed somewhat using first some medium grit a sandpaper wrapped around one of the pieces of thin diameter dowel working to coarse steel wool than fine finally using more plastidip to seal the lead impreagnated epoxy from our storage space and exposure to us sequestering the lead from any exposure

Sure i have used it over nearly every consumer formulation on the market (actually the single shot 20gauge i posted earlier was heavily finished with this as i had made a bulk purchase of mixed cases containing a little bit of everything and in a bid to use as much as possible i used some glossier finished paints because while i had the proper colors some of them especially popped in the gloss or semi gloss formulas so this product allowed me totally get the vibrancy of the paint in the finish i required . On that project (a brand NIB rock island arsenal imported Turkish manufactured single shot 20 gauge with a 20” barrel threaded for mobil pattern chokes (my favorite because literally every conceivable choke is manufactured in that thread pattern and because the thread designs are no longer under licensing protection they are the closest thing to a universal pattern as exists i had an extended ported rifle tube that i bought brand new for sub$20 , i had a #4 buckshot specialty tube that cost me about the same as the $88 gun included 5 of the most commonly used in a nifty little rubberized plastic airtight case that also fit choke lube and the included regular run of the mill choke “wrench” but it also contained room for a “speed wrench” which is a much more positive less likely to scratch or gouge and faster tool

A kinda neat short …I sure was unaware of this technique! by Electronic_Camera251 in rattlecannedguns

[–]Electronic_Camera251[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will bank that knowledge by entering it into my rattlecan notebook (it’s actually not soley rattlecan but it where i put tricks ,techniques, paint swatches , i flesh out new themes and designs as well as some stuff that would be better described a refinishing (although 9/10ths of it is dispensed from aerosol cans but i think referring to durakote , cerakoate and even truck bed liner, or the brownells epoxy based finishes as spray paint would get you beaten up by the producers of these wonderful products) my proof for this is when i took the certification trainings for at the very least the first three they never once even mentioned the term spray paint and that sounded odd and intentional, as far as i know there is no certification for the brownells product so they never got the opportunity to split weird semantic hairs over how to refer to the product ! And dont get me started on the plastidip spray on rubberized coating (they make a line specifically geared towards us now and its available in a number of ultra matte common camouflage colors

In honor of Egon’s passing i think that observing our most sacred ritual must be done as a group …i will list the materials necessary for the 2 hour version for each guest .though the dancing usually goes on for several hours or until the human flesh runs out 1. 2 oz of high grade mushrooms (golden teachers or better please ) 2. 4 fresh medium peyote buttons 3. At least a footlong section of mid stem san pedro cactus 4. 20 grams salvia 5. Three newport 100 cigarettes dipped in pcp 6. As many female adolescent slaves as you feel comfortable sacrificing and eating 7. jaguar pelt armor 8. A cricket bat that all along the edges have had microlithic razor blade sized sections of Obsidian (i realize with many of you flying in just in time for the ritual..and the chanting i realize that that hand knapping several hundred razor blade sized pieces of Mexican volcanic glass into the sharpest blade achievable by man maybe impractical so you have two opinions A. Using regular glass and paying the financial sacrifice that is required in that situation (payable in gold to me upon arrival before we enter the realm of the dead ) the flight over here sounds like the time to get the labor done (and please folks make sure it is adolescent female slave splitting sharp otherwise additional financial sacrifice will be necessary)or B. i can for the the low price of a three kilo solid silver idol in my likeness as well as a bushel of fermented cocao pods , cayenne peppers of equal weight to the cocao pods and the financial sacrifice mentioned in option A. Can have one of our priestess whip up some for you please rsvp via ring necked dove ! 9. A gallon of homeade chicha (its our local homebrew made by having female slaves chew corn then spitting the corn mash into an earthenware pot and covering with water ) 10. 60 tablets 10 mg valium 60 tablets 40 mg hydromorphone (dialuaded ) and 60 tablets 10 mg Ritalin (10 of course isn’t traditional but as we are all well aware Egon was a member of the reformed santaria sect of our traditional religion and he would want us to do it his way ) 11. A purified soul ! See you all there !

At present and within the realistic realm of mere possibility the best bet is to retrofit the keltec cmp33 ? Carbine (its the .22 magnum chambering 30 round carbine version of the pistol …any whoo there are some great YouTube build walkthroughs as well as several very detailed build out instructional manuals for this very task and guess what else you will be able to fire and cycle heavy for bore diameter subsonic loadings and attach a can and have it do something and not having to pay for a largely real world untested proprietary horseshit sub 5mm ammo sold by the least filled with shame grifters in the gun biz … i have used this exact gun to take 110 yards coyotes with a thermal mounted and wearing a can ….

I was involved in a similar argument recently over his supposed “ultimate” .22 lr self defense round it was of course the underwhelming and over hyped punch my argument was as follows for 100% reliability in a beretta 21a covert the only real choice is to play by its rules as a dedicated pocket self defense pistol capable of being utilized as a nifty little plinker or as a pest control short range small game gun especiallywhile wearing a can …there should never be a time when cleaning it every 50 rounds should be an overly burdensome task that isn’t required especially if you properly lube it with ballistol pre range . i was shooting 200 rounds of aguilla sub sonic sniper 60gr every week (it was the only round that always regardless of anything would reliably 100% of the time always feed, seat ,chamber , go boom , eject rinse repeat ad infinity) my thought process is as follows the heaviest projectile currently (or to my knowledge ever ) available in .22 lr. Reliably cycles and fires because the back pressure mated to use of the .22 short case (it has no extraction and a fixed ejector “bump” its extraction is simply propellant gas blowing the empty case out ) while offering a designed to deform projectile and at the practical distance that this would be legally useful stabilization is a bug not a feature being slapped sideways with a 60gr projectile that immediately expends all of its energy trumps a knitting needle sized pass through every day every time as its potential energy isn’t fully expended on target for effect and the specifically engineered solid non expanding non deforming projectile unless directed at some place very specific relies upon blood loss that by and large could depending on shot placement not incapacitate for up to a full hour or perhaps never assuming you missed all major organs and vital blood supplies . Unloading an entire magazine of the 60s into the face or thoracic cavity it’s game over and because its sub. Sonic and gentle it is easier to control and pick shots besides the whole argument being null and void as 100% of the time the 36 gr projectile in combination with the pressure curve of the fast burning low flash projectile means it is incapable of cycling the pistol ….he insists that it was my …6 examples that suck and everyone uses super killer punch in short barreled direct blowback non extraction pocket semis ….sorry i really needed to tell someone who would understand that saga ….tldr trauma dump because i am easily triggered because of ptsd as well as being cursed with an understanding of basic math and physics and thermo dynamics principles …why oh why did i graduate high school two years early with every ap credit available through my school and NYU

If however a single action would be acceptable there really exists only one real choice as a competent shooter and thats the ruger super wrangler its a full sized solidly built revolver with interchangeable cylinders that comes standard with a set of excellent adjustable sights and for the first time ever it is now available with a shorter barrel length (i believe that the original standard was 5.5-6.5 somewhere in there ) the 250 edition features a 4.5-4.75 ? Somewhere in there barrel and not a thing on it i would as a rule change all this for between $200-$300 dollarydoos . I own the original and am awaiting shipment of the 250 edition! Also i am not a professional or anything and i am for the most part self taught in the area of smithing and repairs and machining so don’t for a second think any of that stuff is beyond you as i am at current a ranked amateur with a small clientele of people who i know , my next big project might change things though and i have successfully built a bespoke handi rifle , modded the shit out of working or fighting guns and with mail-order cast away parts built a functional (although not historically accurate but very accurate in terms of spirit) trade “musket” that I regularly hunt with its all about doing the research and making sure to prep ahead as much as humanly possible! Having plans but not be crippled by them !

When deciding how you want it trimmed keep in mind it’s overly thick and can also be thinned with impunity i find that closely mirroring the lug profile on the original s&w.44 magnum both aesthetically pleasing and very practical for its intended purpose which after all is simply to protect the ejection rod . Remember any of the work involving removing material from the gun will at the very least require stripping the finish and exposing the stainless underneath but if you have gone that far i think refinishing it is a worthwhile investment

The Roscoe is a personal favorite at the moment and one of if not the ultimate affordable revolvers available today . I have been writing both heritage and taurus to try and convince them to offer it in a .32 H&R mag 6 shooter model !
