NSD2 Sheridan Parts - Bolts, bits, and bobs

[Brokeass_baller]

Charleston green would be cool. Would look good with black, brass, and nickel as well.

[Lt. head-shot]

My vote is Dark Dark blue or Dark Bronze.... Green really throws off the themed build I am doing.

[Loophole]

CooperT did red, Sheridan did blue, you said black was taken..

I think burnt orange/bronze would be cool and in my opinion a British racing green would look even better !

[systemsfail]

It’s been a spell… any news on the centerfire PGP bolts?

[netsurferdude2]

Lathe work done. Still doing the milling and stamping.

[systemsfail]

Excellent, thanks for the heads-up.

[netsurferdude2]

Little update...

Good News: Mill work is 90% done. Once I finish that I need to make a jig for the doing the pump arm holes and set screw.
Bad News: I think the spindle bearings on the mill are dying.

Milling setup


Some bolts


Thoughts and prayers for this old guy

[BrickHaus]

Depending on what bearings are going they can be easy to replace. Ive been into one reeves head before. If you can fix a palmers you can fix your bearings.

[netsurferdude2]

With the holiday today and some free time this weekend, I did some work on the bolts and knocked out a few other projects.

Bolt status: Made a fixture to drill the pump arm thru-hole and then the locking set screw 90deg from that. They are also all now stamped and serialized. Now I need to make all the sliding bolt lugs. The material should be here this week.




Also as I was cleaning out the storeroom that I bought, I found these cool filters/mufflers from our old presses. 5mins on the lathe and its now a muzzle break. Won't probably be used in a game but it is goofy and steam punk enough.

[Loophole]

Those are super neat as a muzzle break, if you are willing to part with one of the extras I would love it for my Pug!

Great progress. Love the idea of the bolts being stamped for serial numbers.

[netsurferdude2]

Just shoot me a PM. I would need a couple measurements. I might put some nylon set screws in them to hold it in place too.

[BrickHaus]

Yeah those mufflers are totally field worthy mods!

Cant wait to get ty hands on one of those bolts! Are you close to accepting payments for em?

[netsurferdude2]

Only accepting payment when these are ready to ship! There will be plenty to go around.

[Jordan]

Didja sneak any RVAs in there whilst you were making stuff? Asking for a friend.








(....I'm the friend.)

[netsurferdude2]

Do you want any specific style RVA? I am going to make 6 more so any special flare requests? Or just standard PPS copies?

[Jordan]

netsurferdude2 - I'm good with a PPS copy. Then again, I like your style (insert fingerguns.gif) so whatever funky stuff you cook up will be fine, too. 🙂

[netsurferdude2]

Made 4 RVAs today. I’ll make more in the future

[RAZRBAKK]

Will these be getting anno?

[netsurferdude2]

Yeah these and 6 more will go with the anno batch.

[Cal440]

Like the variety of those rva's.

[El Gringo]

I concur. sweet pieces. do we reserve now? or wait till released?

[Jordan]

[netsurferdude2]

Update: Spent 8hrs building a grinding jig to get the .68 radius on the floating lug. My milling vise is too big to run all 4 chamering cuts on the lugs so I had to make a machinist jack to work for this application to float the stock past the vise to make those cuts.

These lugs are the bane of my existence right now.

[Jordan]

This will sound like a dumb question, but... why not secure the floating lug to the bolt with a screw and turn them down on the lathe? There would be an extra hole in the bolt but one covered by the floating lug.

Or maybe a "sacrificial" bolt that you use for all the floaters.

[netsurferdude2]

My first attempt was that sacrificial idea. I tried making a mandrel out of steel but there is not enough meat on the other side of the slot that would allow for screw head to pass the tool bit on the lathe. I cut that mandrel down and build a fixture that sit in my belt grinder miter slot. I jumped over to the belt grinder because it doesn't need to do the full rotation.

I spent some time today building my pneumatic engraver which also sucks away machine time from paintball stuff.

[netsurferdude2]

Proof that stuff is happening…

This is the second round of cocking lugs because I’m an idiot and misread my own drawing. 40pcs in the trash.

[durandal]

Please add me to the list for a PGP center-fire bolt and a PGP RVA.

[netsurferdude2]

Everyone is on the list! I will have 28-30 of the bolts to sell. Probably 10 RVAs

[durandal]

Thank you, netsurferdude2

[durandal]

Can you please update me to 2 RVAs and 3 bolts netsurferdude2
