What is it Saturday 4-18-15

This is an easy one that is not. Have fun. Last Saturday and this one will be answered tomorrow.

Weekend update 4-12-15

Well the weekend is over and once again it has been a fun filled good time around gun lab.

With the backhoe cylinders back it time to get it working again. New bushings were made as well as the tooling necessary to press them in. This project is completed, or so I thought.

After we started it up it seems that I am getting diesel fuel into the oil system. So now I get to determine what is causing that.

I finished the lights for the wood shop.

We also got to play on the cnc router a little.

I just about finished the air system in the Fab shop.

The big news is that to finish the air system I needed to clean it up. It had actually gotten out of hand and you could not even walk in it.

All the fun I could handle.

What is it Saturday 4-11-15

Things have been a little easy. So this one will make you think.

Archive Photo 4-9-15

I took these pictures in South Carolina about 10 years ago. This is a ships landing gun and is an interesting piece.

If anyone has information on this weapon I would appreciate hearing about it.

EM-2 video

I am always looking for EM-2 information and came across this British video on the rifle. Enjoy.

Cut away of the 05 rifle

This is one of the rifles that we have been working on here at Gun Lab. I thought I would show you a few pictures of a cut away rifle of this model.

Here is a view from the left side that is not cut away.

This is a close up of the receiver area.

Now for the cut away look.

To be honest I did not get that much accomplished this last weekend. Saturday I worked on the air system in the fab shop, but still have a little more to do. I needed some fittings so on to another project.

I went to start on the backhoe again and realized that I still needed four more bushings. Two were broken and two more were to short for the application there to be used for.

I then started putting up lights in the wood shop. Then it was back to stand by on that project as I only has two sets. I needed more lights.

Went to the photograph area and started taking some more pictures after I finished my stand. That turned out okay, but the stand needs a little tweaking.

Rounded out Saturday with a friend from France stopping by to spend a few days.

Sunday morning up early to go to the range for a day of test firing 22 rifles and making video’s of them. Those will be posted over the course of the next couple of weeks. We came home so I could clean guns then my wife and friend went shopping for clothes as he packs light when he travels. I started editing all the video’s that I took. I am not a big fan of being in front of the camera by the way. Just another old fat white guy shooting.

Not much else to add.
