To proceed with the building of the VG1-5 we needed to design and build a barrel chamber fluting machine. With the number of barrels that we need to make to complete the project I needed something that is accurate constantly, has repeatable, is semi automatic in operation and can be used for other rifle projects. […] We posted about the female die for the FG-42 first model bi-pod stamping die a while back. Today’s post is about the male stamping die. This first set of pictures is the solid model for the male die.
Once again a few pictures to give you an idea of what the […] I have decided to make a few changes to the way gun lab works. I personally can watch machining videos and look at solid models and guns all day. I guess that is because it is what I enjoy. I mean I take my vacations to go to factories to watch things being made Plastic […] This post is about making the rear sight button for the FG-42 first model. To give you an idea of the complexity of this part I am adding a picture from “Death From Above” . This is a component break down of the parts for the first model FG-42 rear sight. There is also […] In the last video concerning the FG-42 rear sight base we showed you the lathe work required to complete the first op. This video will show you the rest of the work required to complete the rear sight base on the machining center. Again just a reminder of the part we are making is solid […] This post is about machining the stamping die for the bi-pod leg on a first model FG-42. This will be the third stamping die out of a set of 5 dies. It is also one of the more complex of the dies in the set. I will start with the solid model that was drawn […] I posted the still pictures a little while back on making this part. Here is the lathe video on machining the first op. Just as a quick refresher on the part being made, this is the solid model of the part.
After the first op, which is the lathe op, […] We have been working on the rear sight for the FG-42 first model. The first picture that is a solid model of the entire sight assembly. The next picture is a picture of the component parts. The part we are currently working on is the base of the sight. So now that you have […] Most of my friends know that I am a little different. Generally when I call or e-mail them to let them know what is going on at gun lab there first comment is always why don’t you just work on one project until you complete it. There is a real good reason that I do […] With there not being any parts available we have to design and make every part. Some times this leads to re-doing a design several times. The firing pin is a case in point. The initial design was to use a H&K 91 firing pin that was turn down to fit the VG1-5. The reason for […] |
