Cutter, there is a third turned piece that strikes the firing pin. I seem to recall you eliminated the funky flathead screw. Do you have a sketch of it? I might as well get a quote on that too while Iâ€™m at it.

The hammer shaft was made from O1 tool steel , and hardened

6-32 thread X 1/2\" deep

I need a new Carrier block to check

all the new bolts coming up.

Might as well build another gun.

Are you boring full depth or flipping it over and going from both sides?

Boring full depth, 1.75 through with a

3/8 boring bar

I have figured out the hole pattern features on the DRO I put on the Bridgeport. The directions were a little lacking but YouTube got me going. I also got a rotary table in preparation for this build. Unfortunately time is a little limited but Iâ€™m getting going as time allows.

In my opinion the rotary table is

easier and safer for the bolt circle

I see a logistics problem developing here.

Maybe everyone involved should buy their own 3/4â€ diameter 303 stainless,

and do the preliminary lathe work.

Hereâ€™s a sketch for the lathe operation

Comments ?

I will do the CNC operation for 50% of the quantity you want.

Want 10, send 15

The CNC operation consist of the radius & flats, cutting the follower,

holes and slots for extractor and firing pin

More Comments ?

Cutter, would you want 50% of just the bodies? Or caps and strikers also in exchange for the mill work? Should have numbers tomorrow for all three turned pieces and heat treat.

I was referring to the bolt & cap, but Iâ€™ll

need the hammer shafts also

What type of boring bar are you using? It oldmost looks like it has flutes

Your right Chris,

Itâ€™s a 3/8 two flute, with relieved shank.

Was it for rigidly or just what you had on hand that worked well?

Iâ€™m chomping at the bit to make some chips. Waiting on the 3in brass and reamers to arrive. I hope to get the the rotating assembly mostly built before I will have to shelf it for a while and get back to my usual work

Got back first quote for turning

Body 11.05/125qty

10.08/200qty

Cap. 5.92/125qty

5.46/200qty

Hammer shaft 8.26/125qty Not including heat treat. Hoping to get them all in one lot for 150 min. lot charge.

6.89/200qty

The first two seem ok, the hammer shaft seems high. He is gonna look at it and see why. I have sent out to two more places. At the 200 part quantities it comes to 22.43 per ass. If you decide to have Cutter do the mill work the final cost would work out to be 33.65. Seems like a fair trade at this point, I remember he was getting 30 before, and I think that was without the firing pin hole and the ejector slot and holes. Does that sound right, Cutter? I should have more info soon.

I agree,the body & caps look good.

If you go for 200 body & caps, Iâ€™ll buy whatâ€™s left over.

I sold bolt bodies & caps with firing pin hole for 30 bucks

The final quote came in at $21.50. Thatâ€™s for a bolt body, cap, and heat treated hammer shaft. Including myself there seem to be five of us on the list. The total I came up with was 120. I am ordering 200 sets. It looks like five weeks lead time plus another week for heat treating the hammer shafts. Cutters offer on the mill work makes the price work out to $32.25 for a complete bolt, minus the firing pin, spring, and ejector pieces. I will post when they get here. Sorry it took so long, but I think it was worth it.

maccrazy2 · « **Reply #75 on:** May 08, 2019, 07:16:21 PM »

Iâ€™ll take the 3 sets and 3-5 extra bolts for spares

maccrazy2 · « **Reply #76 on:** May 08, 2019, 07:18:45 PM »

Thanks for doing the leg work. Iâ€™m still trying to get a quote for barrels.

gbull · « **Reply #77 on:** June 14, 2019, 08:41:11 PM »

The bolt pieces are back from the lathe shop. I have 200 assemblies. I am keeping 48, leaving 152 for sale. 48 will give me 32 after giving Cutter 16 for the mill work. As far as the ejectors, firing pins and firing pin springs I think we can each get our own. I seem to recall Cutter had a part # from a spring house for the firing pin spring. The ejectors and springs are available from many suppliers. The firing pins I believe are just .060 piercing punches from McMaster Carr. The firing pin springs might be cheaper in bulk. Any thoughts Cutter?

maccrazy2 · « **Reply #78 on:** June 14, 2019, 09:05:42 PM »

I will take 33 bolt assemblies for myself and 17 for Jerry for a grand total of 50 assemblies. Thanks for getting this rolling for us and, thanks to Jerry for the machining.

Would these bolts be a direct replacement for the RGG designed bolts? We built our RGG per plans using bolts from Cutter. Made one major mistake. We milled the barrel away for the ejector clearance and that lets the shell casing blow out and jams the gun. I need to cut off the barrels and redo them making the gun a little shorter. I would like to have the Ruger style ejector so if these are a direct replacement I would take 11. I have had some medical issues the past two years but am hoping I can now get back in the shop.

Thanks Dennis
