One Year Progress

Thanks for the comments.  Put another 200 rounds thru it in 15 shot bursts last weekend.  Ammo seems to last a little longer on short bursts and everyone get to shoot.  Hang in there.  Think how much you learn with each broken tool.  I found winters a good time to work on the gun.  Can\'t or won\'t take it out in the snow anyway.

Let us know your progress.

One thing I am learning is to modify/grind cutters. I should start my own thread to show some of what I have done. I have held back because of how slow I have been making progress but maybe that would encourage me. I get some time at work to get on the computer so it wouldn\'t take time that I could be working on my Gat.

15 round bursts, I can relate to that. I have a couple of belt-feds, one in 22LR and one in 308. Being in CA, while I have grand fathered \"standard capacity\" belts, I usually take the post ban \"reduced capacity\" 10 rd belts. If some one fires a 10 rd belt, they walk away with a big grin, if you tell them just to fire 10 rds of a 250 rd belt they aren\'t nearly as happy! :lol:

I have a shaker box for my 22LR belt fed that I think will make loading the stick mags a lot easier. I got it from http://www.lakesideguns.com/ (there is a video of it at the bottom of the page). It uses a transfer bar to move the rounds from the shaker box to loading blocks for loading belts but I think it will work great to use the transfer bar straight into the stick mags of a Gatling gun.

Shaker Box.  Watched the video.  That\'s real cool.  The sight says they are closing the doors.  Too bad.

I like your observation of telling someone to stop instead of loading the magazine short.  How true.

Start the thread.  Look forward to it.
