Q & A / Bolts and Extractors
« Last post by dsdiprima on September 02, 2022, 01:56:36 PM »I have purchased bolts and extractors from Rick Morton. I have attached a video showing how well these items work in my RG&G Gatling gun. The ammo is loaded, fired and extracted with any problems. Rick has some great products. My suggestion is... contact Rick Morton for quality parts.
Thanks,
Dennis

General RGG Guns/ Homebrew gats / New Source for Gatling Gun drawings
« Last post by Richard Morton on May 29, 2022, 09:24:14 PM »Hi,
So I created an RG-G compatible Fusion 360 model. It's complete as to the gun and optional bolts. No carriage. In my opinion, many of the drawing errors from the RG-G plans have been addressed though just as certain likely made a few new ones. I have been trying to run down any of Paul's family to see if the rights or materials are obtainable, and so far, all I have accomplished is crickets. I am not even really sure about how Paul's copyright might extend to my Fusion model or not.
Here is the question, I would like to know how much interest there is in keeping these guns alive? Is there a market that might offset some of the time I have invested in the Fusion model and the added time I would have to invest some time and energy in making the 2d drawings? I'm a bit skeptical there is enough interest judging by the response for my version of Cutter's bolts. (Despite that, I'm working on reproducing the Gary Bull Ejectors and should have some in the near future.) Please respond and let me know your thoughts so I can arrive at some decisions about proceeding or not.
BTW. Regardless of how this post turns out, I hope you all have a solemn and memorable Memorial Day day to remember America's fallen heroes.

Progress / Final assemble of one-piece bolt
« Last post by Richard Morton on May 06, 2022, 10:15:44 AM »This video is a poor attempt to show the final assembly of the re-imagination and final assembly of the cutter's one-piece bolt. The video is in portrait mode and it should have been landscape and there is some out a frame but oh well... Just add video improvement to the long list of skill improvements I need to undertake. Non-expert for sure so criticize freely. Will try the video again and repost if better... https://photos.app.goo.gl/BTz2Uu3GaQwvdzWH8
Ps. the ejector, ejector pin, and hammer are all Gary Bull's work (RIP Gary) so at least this demonstrates interchangeability between the specs he used for his parts and the finished bolts of mine.

Break Room / Re: Ghost Gatlings?
« Last post by DonV on April 11, 2022, 06:31:03 PM »The ATF regs that have been out for review on this ghost gun thing say that an FFL gunsmith should add a serial number to any gun that comes to them that does not already have one, and they suggest a format including part of their FFL number and some unique identifier/serial number. I now use the FFL snip, my initials and a serial number of things I build. That said, I put a simpler version (Initials and serial number) on my GG, stamped into the breech casing on the bottom by the oscillator slide and also engraved onto the casing side rails.

Q & A / RGG Cartridge Guide
« Last post by DonV on April 11, 2022, 06:14:47 PM »I finally have my RGG based GG complete and together, and am in the "tune-up/make it work" phase. I just about have it firing every barrel every time, extracting and ejecting....YEA! Only been working on this thing for 15 years of so.
I'm seeing a little feeding problem I'd like to ask about. Feeding .22 LR from the stick mag and cranking slowly, occasionally a round will "lift up" from the bolt carrier channel between the 12:00 and 3:00 position. It's therefore no longer aligned with the chamber, and the base is up against the extractor face, essentially making it worse. I'm thinking one solution might be a curved strip of spring steel that holds the rounds down into the channel until the bullet gets far enough into the chamber to ensure alignment for the rest of the feed cycle. Another idea would be a block on the inside of the curved magazine base doing the same thing. Anyone had the problem, figured a solution?
