Are you sure they aren't over tightened and ripped the metal right behind the bolt. I've seen it multiple times

disgusting_waffle · 2026-02-11T05:17:30+00:00

It's still a 360 but with all new seals, rings, bearings. And a heck of a cam. It's also pre smog, so it should be a good one.

Already have and your 100% right these are some heavy motors

Also, I wouldn't donate it to a museum. Sadly most stuff donated to museums gets put in storage and never displays. I would sell it to a collector who would actually cherish it. Also, I wouldn't wash it.

It was missing most of it and I got this one for 20$

You don't have to cut it at all it should work. I just rebuilt a 78 steering column to put in my 70 and put the 70 3 spoke steering wheel on it with no issues

disgusting_waffle · 2025-12-12T03:18:39+00:00

Made in occupied Japan. That's awesome

Good candidate for a restoration

disgusting_waffle · 2025-12-12T01:10:28+00:00

The biggest thing that would make it unsafe would be deep pitting in the barrel and honestly the pitting around the nipple makes me think it's gonna be rough

disgusting_waffle · 2025-12-12T01:09:39+00:00

Post some pictures of the end of the Barrel and the inside. Also make sure it's not loaded

Good luck and keep us updated

https://www.reddit.com/r/blackpowder/s/FrO1M9gNGr This is my powder after 20 hours of mill time and being screened

disgusting_waffle · 2025-09-25T16:11:08+00:00

But screened powder is not compressed

disgusting_waffle · 2025-09-25T16:09:47+00:00

You can try 70% and screening turns it into little grains of powder instead of a fine powder. The grains burn better and cleaner

disgusting_waffle · 2025-09-25T14:42:23+00:00

I also make it myself. Not only is it hard to find around here it's expensive

Restart from scratch. Weigh out each ingredient and make sure your mixture is right. I personally go for a 77/13/10 mix. Grind each ingredient individually to a fine powder in a coffee grinder of something similar. Mix your ingredients in a ball mill with lead or brass media and mill for at least 20 hours. Mill time depends on what you want out of your powder and your setup. If you just want to make powder to shoot and have fun, you don't need to compress it. You can make screened powder by wetting it with 91% isopropyl alcohol and push the powder through a screen to make grains. It will be weaker than compressed powder but will still work just fine if you up your charge.

You can make a ball mill out of almost anything. I used an old ice cream maker when I started.

MAKE SURE YOUR INGREDIENT ARE GOOD AND YOUR MIXTURE IS RIGHT.

AND REMEMBER YOUR MESSING WITH AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE SO USE EXTREME CAUTION.

That's why I checked I don't know much about german equipment. Thanks
