I received the machined bolts from one of our co-builders , Friday.
Very nice lathe work, much better than my prototype ones.
I spent today Saturday making a fixture for the cnc rotary.
Maybe chips next week

Thanks for breaking the silence ! I may not be making any chips while I get my new shop up and running but I follow the forum daily. I especially admire your fine work.

(hauled a 20inch swing cnc lathe home last week !)

Thanks George,

I think we can make some large bolts with your 20\"

I have the cam mounted in the casing for the short barrel ( Shorty )

Good news for the other builders, taped holes in the cam are in correct location

per casing drawing.

I bored the cross hole for the crankshaft, but that\'s all for awhile.
Taken a month or so off

Take care

One of the builders had an open machine, so he got

started on the bolts. He\'s using the box the bolt blanks

were shipped in. Great shipping box!

Fixture to finish bolts, cutting slots for firing pin & extractor

joboxxer · « **Reply #190 on:** September 23, 2015, 10:37:11 AM »

I see you have a counterbore for the rim on the bolts. Are you leaving the counterbore off the face of the barrels?

Cutter · « **Reply #191 on:** September 23, 2015, 12:06:44 PM »

Yes Joboxxer,

Very similar to a stock 10/22 bolt

Cutter · « **Reply #192 on:** September 27, 2015, 08:12:35 PM »

I received the cocking switches and bolt caps from one builder
Only a couple more items remaining for the CO-OP build

Sparky_NY · « **Reply #193 on:** September 27, 2015, 09:38:34 PM »

What kind of steel is your group using for such parts? The workmanship and finishes are superb !

George

Cutter · « **Reply #194 on:** September 28, 2015, 03:12:49 PM »

303, mainly because it\'s corrosion resistance.

There\'s a lot of rust out there

Sparky_NY · « **Reply #195 on:** September 29, 2015, 06:38:23 AM »

Ha yes, excellent choice ! Stainless gets rid of the rust worry and having to constantly clean and oil so the slightest fingerprint does not turn into a rust-print.

Cutter · « **Reply #196 on:** October 02, 2015, 12:46:47 PM »

Now we all need to get caught up, might take awhile.
I\'ll post my progress, not sure about the others

joboxxer · « **Reply #197 on:** October 02, 2015, 09:39:54 PM »

Can u give some more details on your bolts? I\'m making a similar 8 barrel rat and I want to use ruger firing pins and extractors.

joboxxer · « **Reply #198 on:** October 03, 2015, 12:20:45 PM »

Are you using the extractor plunger or the firing pin rebound spring?

Cutter · « **Reply #199 on:** October 03, 2015, 08:12:25 PM »

Here\'s a little information on the bolt.

The green point is for a 3/32 roll pin.

The firing pin slides under, taking place of the staked area on the original bolt.

The red point for the original 5/32 roll pin through the obround slot in the stock firing pin.

Using stock extractor, spring, & plunger . Rebound spring not required.
