I'm attempted, a brass barrel would be enough for most of our builds too.

No reason why the same approach wouldn't work for steel, although you'd probably need cutting fluid and multiple passes.

any machinists looking for some work? will need shipping done obviously, simple job:) reply if you can help me:)

Suggest you post a drawing of the part with dimensions.

I've since heard from him and waiting on PM reply. :bigsmurf:

i already returned your message brother:)

Hey guys, I wanted to see if any of you machinists that are available can give me a quote on some work I need done. Here's a quick illustration

I need it made of steel and there really aren't a lot of exact specs, the important thing is that it has the male threaded plug, female threads on the pipe, and that the plug is the same OD as the pipe. This will be a reservoir for a coaxial project.

need some stuff done, nothing against jrrdw , i know what i wabt just price shopping can one of the machinst in usa pm me?

Not exactly machining, but the result looks good enough, would be suitable for large bore launchers.

Saw this the other day, here is a full imgur album for a .44 barrel. Amazing way of doing it without the real need for machine tools. of course you deed a 3D printer to replicate this exact process but you can easily imaging carving out the channels by hand on a wooden dowel.

Just a showcase of some stuff I have created, not really machined, more like sculptered, I only have access to a decent drill press, the rest is all hand tools. Mostly not spudgun related parts. If your'e patient and good with tools it's surprising what you can make.

Front sprocket for my mountain bike, 1/8 stainless steel



Rear sprocket




Clamp for the sprocket I created first on Solid Works






And a spudgun part underway, the ammo box/vortex block housing for my next project (after BFG #7 is finished)

Extremely impressive!

It's the back yard home DIY machinist that build the machines that machinist use to make stuff for more machines!

It's the cycle of life... :bigsmurf:

Very nice work! It would ne nice work even if done with lathe and milling machine, but even more impressive with drill press

Very nice work! Something tells me you need a feature on this page.
