    That makes sense, thank you

    I wouldn't trust something that can be as easily melted as cerrosafe. There's no way that would work. Would be good for added weight though, like the 3DP90.

    So with this EDM you think I can machine a slide? Or the plates?

  • u/RustyShacklefordVR2 · 2023-06-19 14:20:26 UTC · score 2

    I think we could resuse the 3DP90 cerrosafe casting process for this.

    In fact I think casting the inserts out of cerrosafe would solve almost all the problems.

    I have disassembled actually, many times and converted to from all kinds of projects to different ones. Like blank guns to live ammunition, handmade caliber conversions, air rifles to side loaded live ammunition, airsoft pistols to cycling live firing versions (like converting the original slide to 22, by replacing hop-up with T shape steel block, shaping firing pin from long steel bolt, and using ballpoint pen springs for the dremel shaped ejector) other processes for bigger calibers, barrel launchers, DIY napalm grenades, etc.

    These things are not so hard to make that many people with more free gun laws seem to say, in my opinion glock slide would be the best choice to simplify to DIY version, because of its simple square outer shape in comparison to 1911 for example and i'd always choose the most popular one meaning either one of those.

    If i ever get enough money, i will continue to upgrade the 3d EU gun community just like u/Shit_on_wheels by learning to model with 3d printers to use existing permit free parts for maximum simplicity. Like how now you can build .22 1911 completely permit free in Europe in couple hours after the printer is done, with FossWerks 3D11 Beta without the need to make your own slide.

    ^(Although maybe those information is best to keep to myself, otherwise they will ban those options too like this year they banned rubberball paintball guns here & nail gun blanks so byebye homemade ammunition.)

    No, added spring strength doesn't add to the inertia of the slide to hold it closed longer, only helps in slowing it down once it's already been kicked out of battery.

  • u/Mustachious_Smith · 2023-06-20 02:45:15 UTC · score 1

    Solely adding a heavier spring will not prevent case head separations. Those happen when you are extracting too fast. In theory it could work but you won't be able to pull the spring back by hand.

    However, a heavier spring can actually help prevent out of battery discharges, to a point. You will get more energy on the return to battery which will help muscle through some problems. If you go too heavy with it, you will get short stroking.

    Do you mean out of batteries or ruptured case heads?

    Mass doesn't fix oobs, oob safety's do.

    Ruptured case heads, when not from an oob, can be a sign of low mass.

    Cut the underside and an ejection port of a square toob to make rails and populate it with a metal plate (breech plate only needed, i think) and slide and glue/link with screws printed parts inside and voila, a durable slide. Mp me for details

    Create a sketch on the same plane as the part you need the DXF of… ‘P’ for project, click the main surface, so that the Project cmd will highlight all the walls, holes, etc. of your part, if it’s not all selected, finish selecting your parts. Finish Sketch. Right click on newly created sketch in the browser on the left, export as DXF.

    Hello from overseas (Eu country)

    So first of all this subreddit is world class, been reading it forever. alot of great stuff posted in here and a lot of great inventors. Thats why i thought maybe you all could help my friend:

    My friend is currently building a nameless any caliber launcher, only for decorative purposes of course, because we all know how it is in the EU. But he still wants to be able to insert shells, dry fire it and remove them. So as a barrel he is using a 42,00 mm OD seamless steel tubing and of course the 42,00mm OD barrel retainer. But heres the Problem, the milc shell base has a rim outer diameter of 42,80 mm so of course the shell rim wont fit in the barrel retainer. If he is downscaling the entire shell, the brass pipe for the hull wont fit. right now the brass pipe fits perfectly (it is pr

    Getting ready to assemble my urutau, but now considering CNCing several of the higher load parts out of aluminum. I'm thinking of several of the internals (safety bar) for smoother operations and then possibly the barrel retainer and cading a remixed upper receiver so the part that receives the barrel is aluminum as well. Anyone else tried something similar or have feedback on which parts will be best served by this?

    URGENT CALL TO ACTION:

    Magazine Bans have FAILED in the Senate

    Bump Stock Bans have FAILED in the Senate

    Now we need your help to DEFEAT One more!

    Please take ONE minute and tell Senators Mike Tipping and Chip Curry to vote NO on LD 1126: An Act Requiring Serial Numbers on Firearms and Prohibiting Undetectable Firearms

    It WILL BE HEARD in the Senate today. It has already passed in the House - if it fails in the Senate, it is almost certain to die.

    This bill would require serialization of muzzleloaders, which gun owners know are not a firearm by Federal definition and are NOT subject to background checks. Passing this law would create a scenario that isn’t doable for FFL’s or gun owners.

    CONTACT:

    Senators Mike Tipping & Chip Curry

    10/22 chassis assembly

    Originally posted by u/CXITE at 2025-06-13T15:50:01Z

    Hi,

    Question for the guncad designers out there:

    Currently designing a chassis for the 10/22. I want the hand guard and the stock to be separate, so i can take the gun down without having to remove the take down screw. Currently the stock is secured to the receiver with friction between the receiver and the stock, as well as 2 plugs in the recoil buffer slot, see picture 2. The tolerance is tight, when i push the plugs in as shown, there are audible clicks from the layer lines of the plugs. Everything is made from PLA +. I've put about 100 rounds through it without anything coming loose.

    So the question is: Would you trust this design to hold up? Would it be better to make one continuous plug that also acts as a recoil buffer?

    Thanks!

    Well I was rooting for Rare Breed to win their legal battle, but now they want to ban all other quick triggers, like FRT’s, for their binary model. 👎🏻 As of last time I checked, a couple weeks ago, frttriggers dot com would pull up the site that makes the famed FRT for delta team tactical. Seems as of late rare breed either bought rights to the webpage and now own the rights to the patent or fought in court for patent infringement. The video titled,” Fraud” likely explains this. Haven’t watched yet as I’m at work. Just wanted to inform the public.
