Introducing The Deflator

yes

Fresh off the mill.






Big relief, I'm now certain I can do these on my VMC. Everything is looking good just need to fine tune a few of the tool paths and add a few to clean up some burrs. Hopefully I can get that done tomorrow, we'll see. For now I'm pretty stoked, in a few days we can move on to the Deflator machining.

Home made slug body !

You going to be selling them separately ?

[BLachance75]

Progress means I'm that much closer to a new body

[luke]

Yea, I'll do a body kit and a complete marker (or real close to one).

The body kit will include: proprietary detent, proprietary bolt spring cup, feed cup, sear pin and miscellaneous hardware.

So square! I love it. Can I buy it like that?

Someone may have already asked, but is there any reason this can't be pump milled?

Er wait, foolish question. It's unibody, so of course it won't be pump millable, right?

Not sure if you're kidding or not but I don't have a problem selling it as a slug body.

firing video to show it works with paint?,
this is your first public body from scratch.

I've been thinking about that for awhile now and you're correct it can't be pump milled in the traditional sense. However I do believe I could do a pump version with some design changes.

This body is neither standard or a uni-body.

uni body is a uni body, putting "hidden" in front of stuff doesn't make it special :P

Not possible yet, no cut out for the valve assembly. That's in the next machining operation, this is where I ended my LONG a$$ day, patience grasshopper. Besides finishing the machining, there is a long list of concerns that need addressed before I start testing. I can do "real time" updates or sit on the updates until it's ready to ship.

As far as difficulty goes this is less difficult than other stuff I've done. My biggest hang up initially was finding tooling to make it on a VMC rather than a lathe.

You have no idea what you speak of.

Half kidding. You know I like my square guns . If you have a blank slate with these slugs then maybe another square body is in our future .
