JC's Brass thread

[Chuck E Ducky]

Oh that’s clean I like it. My favorite is still the smooth top you made me. But man that looks so clean!

Good Job JC! That Pony Gunna Slay!

[JeeperCreeper]

That's part of why I post here. I welcome my ideas on other people's builds. I'm no LLC

No worries! That pistol racked up a lot of bodies before I lost the retainer ring, and it very well could have been me not tightening enough.

Thanks again for the triage attention!

Love it... might steal that idea for a build one day, looks fantastic.

I hate these posts, but I feel like I have to be honest

So this pistol was absolutely great, but one problem popped up. It only had a small 1/4" retainer ring held in by a set screw for the XL inserts, and it inevitably was lost. So a completely new tip had to be made. Now the tip will definitely stay in. It was definitely an oversight on my part, and Im glad that piece of brass is only lost, not lodged in someones lense. Stuff like this makes me re-evaluate my process, and it makes me more cautious in future builds. This is a unique problem to this unique build. It didn't have the twist lock tip like most of the other builds I've done.

The new tip came out sweet though.

Woohoo! Thanks for the save!

Shop time

On the bench, Jordan's single shot break action.

Also this sweet little PGP based E-Cocker from cfos00 that needs a repair.

I missed that TY. So..how would one go about making one lol.

[JeeperCreeper]

Going through some of my stock today. These definitely had stories behind them. I think one was an attempt at a mini Lance? It was chopped and epoxied, and the only good part on it is the CO2 changer threads. The other, someone just used way too much solder, and I managed to clean it up just fine.

[XEMON]

Yes it can 😁
There is 2 of them on that post, one is full carbon fiber top and middle tube 👍

[Vegabond]

Ooh that's nice, wonder if the whole top assembly could be done out of cf.

[JeeperCreeper]

Yes. Look in the Custom Sheridan picture thread, first post

[Vegabond]

These seem really cool. Could a pgp build be done out of carbon fiber tubes?

[Brokeass_baller]

Ohhhhh... This is nice.

[Jordan]

Second build: well it's a box of parts so far. More on that later. It's gonna be a fun one for sure.
