JeepDVLZ45’s - The Amalgamation

[JeepDVLZ45]

I guess I’ll play….damn peer pressure.

Here’s where we’re at…all parts or materials I’ve had laying around for…6 + months….hopefully I can make a functioning marker

[JeeperCreeper]

You know I love K-frames, but I do know how much they cost...

[JeepDVLZ45]

Per the rules….the K-frame wasn’t pulled from a existing marker and has been in my parts bin for over a year…I’m treading a fine line, BUT I’ll let you make the final ruling since it is an extreme case. 😁

[JeeperCreeper]

Its a very fine line indeed. I'll let it stand as long as theres no other complaints.

[JeepDVLZ45]

I will happily disqualify myself if there are any issues.

The contest is my motivation to complete a design project I’ve been putting off for far too long.

[JeeperCreeper]

No need for that. Like I said, if it becomes an issue, which I doubt because I do actually know you bought that for something else, then squashed that project.

If this build were to turn out like you had originally planned, which I also know because we talked about it, then it might be an issue.

But we're currently all good, build on! I cant wait to see what happens.

[JeepDVLZ45]

You are both fair and just, good sir.

🤞🏻 I pull this off 🤣

Realistically

1. It never happens
Or
2. - I does and I go WAY over budget so I’m DQ-ed anyway

[Super Nova]

Those K-frames are so cool

[Alexndl]

JeepDVLZ45 I can send you a Krain frame to make your build compliant if you want (3d printed K-frame)

[JeepDVLZ45]

I appreciate the offer, but I need the girth of a metal K-frame. But thank you, I appreciate the offer

[COB]

This is MCB, correct? Who doesn't have a hoard of parts that have been waiting for assembly into something fun. Sure, some parts are more valuable than others, but they are all worth nothing sitting in a box. I say build on. Then, as a means of contrition, send it to me and all will be forgiven.

[JeepDVLZ45]

I narrowed down what I will be using for the main marker….PROGRESS!! If you squint your eyes and cock your head you can almost see…a plan! 🤣

[Cal440]

Can't see it, but I am sure it will be great !

[JeepDVLZ45]

Started cleaning, measuring, and cutting….realized I have a design flaw. 🤦🏻

I’m going to have to make a scale drawing to be sure I everything clears as it should without creating weak points in the marker.

I will have to get a couple custom bits made for me…@netsurferdude2 is up to the task for now….at least until I change my design for a 5th time. He should be inducted into sainthood 😂 (sorry, bud!)

Luckily I only cut my feed tube cleaned up all the other brass breach and bottom tube. Noticed my error when I did some “dry fitting”

Once I make some ACTUAL progress, I’ll toss up some photos.

[JeepDVLZ45]

Thank you netsurferdude2 !!



Time to get on my grinder…

[JeepDVLZ45]

Here we go….
