Broken Sako rifle

<< < (2/3) > >>

Powder Keg:
It was pressed in and had a shoulder that it went against. I think I'm going to use locktight\o/ I have some good stuff :zap:

Jonny:
Getting there then.

When i think back to all the ones i made from square bar in 4 jaw keeping it straight. Thin stuff has a tendency to taper but have own method learnt from turning Stainless Grade 316S11 down to 3/16" diameter. Just a file job after 1 1/2hrs later out it goes.
Some ejector work is similar as well.

Powder Keg:
I've been pretty busy. The part is almost done. I'll snap a picture before I assemble it. I first need to make a tool/thingy to reassemble the spring and keeper? It was apart when I got it. So, I don't know how he got it apart. But it wasn't pretty. I had to stone off some small gouges off the pin.

Jonny:
Any news?
Figured what you have done, originals in two parts being easier to batch manufacture. No reason why it shouldnt be in one piece, most are.

Powder Keg:
Well, I did a pretty lousy job of taking pictures on this project. Sorry about that. I've been pretty busy like usual.

I did get a couple shots of me putting the firing pin back together. It was a pretty tricky job. I don't know how my friend got this thing apart without a little compressor like we made? Here are a couple shots.





You can see the filed end in the bottom picture. It slid up the ramp really nice!!!

The gun is back together and in the arms of it's happy owner.

I'll try and remember to take more pictures next time :doh:
