Cocker thread collar

[Jordan]

Anyone interested in making some Cocker thread collars? I've got some barrel tube I'd like to turn into Cocker barrels but need a collar with threads to solder/epoxy onto the tubing.

[NONOBLITUS]

I fully support this and would be down for one if someone does have an interest in making some.

If these are made in brass, I'd definitely be interested in a handful

[Jordan]

I'm hoping for brass myself.

I can see this being a commodity that I could find an occasional use for possibly in other threads as well. So you could count me in for 2 at least to add to the pool of demand.

TLDR - +2

I told Jordan I'd be down to make a few but this would be a better fit for someone who could automate the process.

You rang? What's the OD of your tubing?

I'd have to order in some brass, and that stuff's not cheap these days, so if you guys want a batch, we may want to do a preorder sort of thing. But yeah, I can crank something like that out in a heartbeat.

Good shit, also thanks for the 3 cocker detents. These are the best looking ones out there.

I'll grab a measurement tonight... but 21mm, approximately.

There's no "approximately" setting on this machine. Trust me, I've looked.

I asked this afternoon, and a local shop has some brass already in stock. The price has gone up a bunch since I last bought any significant amount, but it's here and they have quite a bit of it.

Right-o... let's call it 0.825, then.

-Arright, so how many do we need? Two dozen?

I only need one, but would take two. Everyone else will need to speak up if they want some.

But... it was brought to my attention that there will only be a 0.025" wall thickness which concerns me as far as the durability of the threaded portion.

If the collars have a potential for shearing threads off, I'm not really interested.

And... I realize quantity will likely affect pricing, but cost would be a factor in whether I want any.

[Grendel]

+2 for me

[NONOBLITUS]

+1 for me

[GanonsGrin]

+1 for me

[DocsMachine]

.025" plus the wall thickness of the tubing it's soldered or glued to.

As for cost, ballpark figure, including materials, maybe $20-$25 each? Given what I'd charge a typical walk-in client, that's actually below cost.

I’m down for a handful

[DocsMachine]

'Kay gents, I'm gonna splurge on a hunk of brass in the next couple of days. Can't promise how soon I can have them done, but I'll shoot for as soon as possible.

Would anyone be averse to a prepaid/preorder? Brass is expensive enough (and due to recent foolish purchases, my wallet empty enough) that I'd prefer to only make as many as are needed. I'm not looking to make a ton in profit, but at the same time, I don't want to lose a bunch either. (I do enough of that on my own, thank you very much. )

Doc.

[Jordan]

I'll pre-pay... put me down for 3 if they're staying around the $20-25 mark.
