Here you can see the finished piece in front of the Receiver where it will screw in.
|
 |
|
After a bit of fitting here is the Holder installed in the Receiver. I used a piece of bent drill rod to install the Holder.
|
 |
|
Next I started the Firing Pin. I turned down the front portion of a 3/16" piece of drill rod for the tip of the Pin.
|
 |
After turning the rear of the pin this is how it looks so far. I still need to get a better spring and do some final fitting but other than that its pretty much done. |
 |
|
Then it was back over to the mill and using a 1/2" end mill I cut out a recess for the grips.
|
 |
|
I made a cardboard template of the grip to see how it would look and feel. Now I have to decide on what type of wood to use.
|
 |
|
The next thing I started on was the Main Spring Housing. I started by drilling a 1/4" hole in a piece of scrap and laying out the general shape of how I wanted it. This picture shows it set up in the mill prior to cutting the angle for the top where it will mount to the receiver.
|
 |
|
After milling the piece to match the width of the receiver I rotated the piece and cut the next angle for the front side.
|
 |
|
One more rotation and the front side is finished.
|
 |
|
On the back side because of the angle I started with a 1/8" end mill and cut down until I just touched the line.
|
 |
|
After rotating the piece again I finished cutting the back side with a 1/2" end mill.
|
 |
|
Next I cut a tab on the top that will fit in the bottom of the receiver to keep everything lined up.
|
 |
|
Then I trimmed both sides down.
|
 |
|
After a bit of filing here is how it sits now, it still needs to be cleaned up a bit.
|
 |
|
Next I drilled the mounting holes.
