POP Contest - Memornix's Entry

[Memornix]

Here is my starting point, What looks to be parts of a pretty rough old Trracer Tagmaster rental and a cut up 10/22 stock




in adherence to the rules, here is a done pic in the first post:



Also, total budget was $29.12 for the SSC trracer to autococker barrel adaptor.

This one is going to get a little crazy. Normally, I would just start cutting, but a 3D design is in order. Just getting started:

Build thread is below...

Finally complete with a few changes along the way. The original plan was for a pneumatic assist lever action using a Trracer Tagmaster but life got in the way and I just had less and less time. As a result, the plan changed to a bolt action and I grabbed a standard Trracer off the pile. Build pics are below, but here is the final product:









Here is a shooting video. The action is really smooth and I think I like this more than the lever action. Also, as you can tell, I was running on fumes and actually ran out of air at the end.

Total budget used: 29.12 for Trracer to cocker barrel adaptor. everything else was from the bin or scrap material.

Future plans include using this design to build another but I dont quite have a direction figured out. It has a sliding trigger so I easily mount a 3-way and do a semi-auto version. I might also do a stock class with a lever changer on the front tucked up closer to the barrel. Final crazy idea is to do a mag fed first strike varient.

Vote for me and all of your wildest dreams will come true.

Ooooo I,'m excited for this one! 😁

[Memornix]

I will try not to disappoint. I have some ideas 🤫

[Memornix]

No fabrication montage yet, but I thought I would give a quick AutoCAD teaser:



You get the idea

[Memornix]

With a deadline looming, I reckon I aughta get going. Here is todays update:

I don't have any photos of machining the stock mount since it was late and I was tired, but I started this morning and got the tank all mounted up:





Then milled the back bottle ASA to accept 1/8NPT on the sides and plugged the back hole







This is how she currently sits:



Total budget used so far: 29.12 for Trracer to cocker barrel adaptor. Everything else was from the parts bin or aluminum scrap from old projects

Nice job! I just recently pickup a Tagmaster. Still haven't figured out how to get the pump off of it...

[Memornix]

Here's a few more build pics.

My original plan was pneumatic assist lever action, but life got in the way and I just had no time so I went bolt action. I needed something to make the bolt lever from and it just so happened that one of my shop goons broke a tap handle so it got chopped up:



Turning it down for the threads

This thing is crazy awesome. Nice job

[Trazal]

So terrible. Doesn't look like a viable project. Send it to me to take over.

[Memornix]

Oh, brother....

Great work, I was not expecting an action that smooth from a trracer using a bolt action on the side of the bolt

Also we need more picture without the stock. Did you used the original trigger or you made it?

Having the big lever definitely seemed to help the action and I found that the backwards angle was pretty critical since it fits the natural angle your hand makes so it doesn't bind as much. It internals are also pretty polished.

As for what it looks like without the stock, I am away for the weekend so I can't take any more photos at the moment but if you look at the early 3D rendering you can see the chunk of aluminum that is inside the stock. This was two machined parts that sandwiched the stock from the top and bottom. I made a sliding trigger that lives in the slot between.
