This weekend was again spent trying to make and install new gun racks for the gun room. Not as much work was accomplished as was hope for, a number for friends showed up with interesting and fun toys to play with and take pictures of. In addition it was my fathers 93 birthday and time […] Not that we have finished running the parts on the machining centers it is time to do the final fit up. Using the 1018 trunions that we made a hole was drilled in it to allow alignment with the button pressed into the receiver. Then the blocks were tested to see if the fit up […] With these last three operations we will have completed the work on the cnc machining center.
You can see the process of rough machining the bottom of the curve for the trunion. This op also machined the complete magazine well out. A good side view of the rough machining of the curve. All the […] It has been a while for a MP-44 trunion update. The next couple of posts will get us back up to date with the trunion project. The new op 5 was to cut a slot and rough magazine opening to allow coolant flow and chip removal and still allow us to high speed machine. Well […] After the last machine gun shoot with the Hotchkiss I made a decision that what was really needed for this gun is a tri-pod. I did a post a while back about ideas for the tri-pod, http://gunlab.net/hotchkiss-portative-tri-pod-ideas/, but now I am on to the project, in my spare time of course.

That is to say a lot of things are going on to make the gun work. It is just a fun gun. There are a few […] I would love to post a video of shooting a Hotchkiss machine gun, or the post dealing with the VG1-5. How about a post on the new Hotchkiss tri pod I have been working on. There is also the post on the MP-44 trunion and where we are on finishing them out. There are also […] It has been a while since I have posted any cut away pictures. This one is on the Enfield N02Mk1. Left side view. A slightly better picture. Close up of the revolver. Right side view I really like cut away weapons. It is a great way to study them. If anyone has any cut away […] This is kind of an after action report on the 1919A6 barrel that was involved in the accident. The last post on the damage to the 1919A4 due to some Turkish ammo showed a barrel that had a case stuck in it that the base was sheared off. With the cost of everything these days […] My least favorite machine gun is, drum role please, The MG-34. I like the way they look. I fine the accessories interesting.Like this fortress box. Or saddle drums. The history of the weapon is fascinating. However, after owning three of them over the years I can say with certainty that it is the aggravating […] |
