    Gunsmithing Chamber flush system questions

    I guess I dont see the advantage to looking at automotive oil pumps here? The Shurtech type bronze gear pumps do basically the same thing, can be had for similar money, they make more pressure, plus you dont need to come up with a way to couple them if you get the carbonator mount style. I...

    Usually in the 4-500 range, pressure cranked at 125 until closer to the end to prevent spraying it across the shop due to the micrometer stop.

    Gunsmithing Help me find an Indicator

    I have to agree with the Noga comment. I grabbed the MS..63 175lb model on Encos last 20% off sale, plus it was already like 25% off to begin with. Liked it so much I just bought another one last night on the 30% sale (Noga sale was still going too), I got the shorter arm version this time...

    Gunsmithing Chamber flush system questions

    I put mine on the pressure side, yeah it doesn't protect the pump from sucking stuff up, but it protects from pumping shit into a barrel, especially if the pump were to grenade and pump parts of it into a barrel. I did make a strainer for the pump inlet, basically took a 3/4 pvc tee, the...

    Gunsmithing Milling a laminate wood stock

    I've heard about using downward spiral flutes on stocks so that the cutting edge pushes down instead of lifting. No experience with them though, so take with a grain of salt.

    Suppressors Flying with a Suppressor

    Luckily my machine guns are worth no more than your ordinary AR, other than having decent parts on them. Can't say I'd trust airlines with a transferable.

    Gunsmithing Chamber flush system questions

    I think this is the exact one I have, I'd stay away from the 3/4npt or you'll need extra pieces to adapt down to 3/8, you can at least buy a 1/2npt to 3/8 barbed fitting...

    It is just a water filter, pentek or something. It's the 10x2" I think, the smaller of the two sizes they sell. They're good to 140psi or so.

    Yeah, 1/8npt. Like I said above, I don't bother doing it with the lathe, just use a cordless drill right how it's pictured there (before dialing in so I don't mess that up). Takes 30 seconds total.

    Buddy had an oil filter explode on his flush system, he now uses the one I have pictured. Amazon for that one, 5 micron poly spun.

    Gunsmithing Chamber flush system questions

    Yep, nothing special, Im just using a 100psi and interpolating where Im at over that haha. My pump will make 125psi, and I regularly go upwards of that, but its not like knowing the pressure down to the 1psi really matters very much. Something I forgot to mention, and I need to do yet, is...

    Gunsmithing Chamber flush system questions

    Just get the stuff that has braided fiber in it, from any hardware store, 3/8id. Youll want to make a manifold out of 1/2npt, inlet and valved outlet at one end, pressure gauge tee'd in, then the bypass relief valve at the other end. Can use same 3/8 hose for the bypass line returning to your...

    Gunsmithing Chamber flush system questions

    Well, thats the swivel piece off the GTR, which I believe is just a swivel compressed air fitting. It uses 1/4npt, so if you want to build the exact thing I have, you need a 1/4npt female/female coupler, a 1/4nptm>1/8nptf adapter, then a 1/8npt male/male nipple. Personally I would try to find...

    Suppressors Flying with a Suppressor

    Just went to the SHC with 4 suppressors, one bolt gun, one AR, and one machine gun. Two rifle cases packed full of all that crap. Just declare the stuff at the counter, theyll look inside, none that I have dealt with even asked about the cans (they probably dont know what they are). I carry...

    Not very pretty, as it was put together with parts I had on hand when the gtr decided to crap out, but it works!

    Gunsmithing Chamber flush system questions

    Probably not as well, then you are trying to force all that fluid just through the grooves in the bore, especially if they are smaller calibers. It will still work better than no flush system, but you may need to take it a bit easier.

    Ebay is your friend, search for carbonator gear pump, shertech gear pump, then start looking at the related results. I got mine for $125 I think. You just need to make sure its a gear pump not a vane pump. 1/3 and above HP will work fine. Forget the ball valve to control pressure, its...

    Gunsmithing Chuck shopping

    Talking inserts... I decided to take advantage of Enco 20% off, free shipping, and ability to buy one insert at a time. Tried out the Iscar 908 partial profile and 16tpi full profile as well as a far nicer (than shars) Carmex 3/4" holder. So far I'm loving them over the AR Warner hss tool. Not...

    Don't let anyone tell you surface finish will suffer with less rigidity. Sure you can't take .050" depth cuts, but you can still get an excellent finish.
