Broken Sako rifle

(1/3) > >>

Powder Keg:
A friend has a broken Sako rifle. The part is not available from Sako any more. So I'm going to give it a go. I'll post a picture of the part that I'm making soon. it is connected directly to the firing pin.

I really love running my new shaper!!! Today I ran it for nearly three hours. Time seemed to fly by. Here is the start of my little part. It started out as 1.5" shaft. I roughed out the profile a little on my mill. Then transferred it to my shaper. Once I managed to line everything up and get a tool ground it went really smoothly. My set up wasn't the best, but it worked. I'll send you a picture tomorrow of how it turned out. The ones I took were all blurry?





I saw a dividing Gizmo one time that had a center built into it. It was made for a shaper. It would have been perfect for this job. To have relief for the tool to clear I had to turn the shaft down to about .425". That made things a little flexy. But I got it. After shaping the outside. I transferred the part back to my mill. I'm working on the rest of the part now.

Stay tuned for more pictures.

Powder Keg:
The material is 4340. I wish some of my other pictures turned out this nice. These were strait off the mill. The shaping went really good. This is the second part ever on my new shaper. Most was feeding with the compound, moving the clapper up and down. But I did power feed across the top. It was great!!!

Jonny:
I know what its going to be but wont spoil it.
Theres quite a few others similar, in the past filed up to suit.

Powder Keg:
Here are the pictures. A little bit of whittling to find it inside the 1.5" shaft.





The long piece is the firing pin. The bit on the end is broken. I'm making a new one. I still haven't figured out how to get the pin out? I might be making a new one of those also?

mike os:
probably shrink fit...so heat? may have to cut it out
