Firing Pin
« on: September 19, 2021, 01:23:52 PM »
 I'm no longer to run machinery so , I've been setting at my computer making design changes to the RG-G
This image shows a very simple firing pin modification that has tested well.
It's a 1/16 flat firing pin with a .030 chisel land

 Nice to hear from you Cutter !

I used the flat , ruger style, firing pins in my .22 gat and they worked out well.    I like your addition of the roll pin,  I used a staking tool on the slot to retain mine, same as ruger.

No dimensions and I wonder if the firing pin will impact outside edge of the cartridge with the roll pin where it is located?

For some strange reason your drawing does not show most of the time.    I only seen the drawing appear once out of 4 times I looked.    I sent Dave a email letting him know of the issue.

Sparky,
 I tested this new bolt design by cutter and they worked great. The roll pin protrusion that was present in the making was machined off flush with the side of the bolt.

I am getting ready to order some  2 mm roll pins but I would like a suggestion as to the length.

Since there have been no replies.....     Its impossible to recommend a length without knowing where/how  they are going to be used.    Custom parts and variations to the RGG drawings make the possibilities endless.

Posting the drawing of the part they are intended to be used with would be the best option.

Buy long, cut to your needed length with a Dremel cut off wheel.

I see a drawing.

http://www.gatlinggunforum.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1646.0;attach=3728

Well, ain't that interesting !      If I access the thread using the  "view recent posts" link at the bottom of the homepage,  the drawing does not show.

If I go directly to the thread the drawing does show !!         (the link Roller posted also works)

Id say if you have problems still, clear your cache. Everything is up to date and no problem with the forum.

I ran into a incident on another forum, where I had to clear my wireless router cache too!
