Brass K-Frames

[Chuck E Ducky]

That’s going to be a ton of weight even more forward then it already is on a k-frame it’s going to be hard to aim.

Understood, k frames can be built with a bottom line mount. Looking for a swing T or L stock that would get me back to proper spacing.

The biggest hurdle right now is figuring the ASA and possibility of a different frame.

Should this not happen I'm not gonna be upset, i do really like it as is.

The flush mount (flat top) one holds it to the tube and I can get that one out but the cap screw is holding up the progress.

The cap-head screw should be the one holding the body to the stock.

So it its spinning, his threadcert is loose... chen, try gently pulling up on the block to try to get the thread cert to bite on the body.

BrickHaus - assuming it's built like a traditional Sheridan rifle, it should have a pringle screw and nut setup like a KP.

Craig came up with some funky stuff that doesnt use Sheridan parts, though, so it's hard to say what's in there.

Ok, so Kseries (KP, KP2, KP3) rifles and scratch-built PPS brass share the same valve core location and hammer travel. Their hammer travel is nearly an inch longer than P-series brass, so the mounting location for the front grip screw is in a different spot, necessary because of the valve positioning.

The green circle shows where the frame mounts to on a Kseries - the red circle shows where it would be on a P-series. As you can see, the red circle is around a solder location - if you were to drill/tap there, you'd hit the valve chamber.

If you want to install a K-frame on your Painter, you'll need a Palmer spec frame, and a threadsert (or something with threads) in the area I circled in green.

Jordan nailed it. here's a quick picture side by side, p-series on top, standard k-series in the middle (actually c-series but they're the same), and palmer's (in this case an automated k-series but they're the same). for your front frame screw you'd either have to install a nursert or see if a nursert ring (iirc bacci has them in stock) can squeeze in there.

Thank you.

I never did get the stock free from the body.

I was out a few weeks back and I found a scabbard, while the painter does fit, the ASA interferes with secure stowing in the scabbard. I am hoping to return to working with the project however i think id be happy with a tank mounted to the bottom of the stock or better would be creating a partial pocket into the bottom of the stock.

Is there still a resident craftsman that might be interested in such an endeavor?
