    The Sear Family....



    Ok Got bored and frustrated at the same time:

    From top to bottom:

    1) This is the sear that I made for my RT after I broke #3 trying to tap the brass bushing out... Its an automag sear with a shaved RTP bushing pressed into it then silver soldered into place for extra measure...

    2) Ahh success!!! The shortened ULT anti-chuff sear for automags...

    3) The anger management sear... the RTP sear that I broke... At least I got the brass bushing out. Then I proceeded to punish it...

    Hit it with an oxy acetylene torch... Realized the metal became soft...

    Drilled 2 additional holes in the arm. Easy as pie...

    Tried to break off the arm with a hammer, Bent it back and forth, the metal is amazingly ductile after heating.

              Well if you just ask before breaking out the hammer, we would have told you they were case hardened.

                      Hey Tom,

                      Have you ever experimented with any sears of various lengths? (i.e. clevis pin positions)

                          Yeah I knew they were hardened I just didnt realize how hard they were.

                          I broke 2 cobalt bits... didnt even scratch the surface. Just made a little divot.

                          I finally figured it out later on in the game...

                          I isolated the top part of the sear using copper blocks AKA Stacks-0- pennies...

                          Canadian pennies... US pennies arent copper.

                          Once it was clamped in place I put the sear "arm" through 2 heating and cooling cycles with the torch. Heated till it was glowing bright sun red/orange. Let the metal cool in air slowly.

                          Add some oil blast the arm again... bright sun red let the metal cool slowly.

                          This made a more ductile and softer arm section. Much easier to drill... also more resistant to my hammer... Where the hardened sear just shattered when I hit it with a hammer I could bend the softened arm 45 degrees.

                          The top isolated section remained as hard as a rock.

                                                  How about a slow 2,000 BPS ?
