Kiwi Ive just found that felt washer behind my seal too.
Totally stripped out the pivot bolt so had to drill through and use and extractor and finally got the mongrel out! Also removed the barrel and the breach end is way off so will cut that section off and shorten it. Lathe is up and running at work so will stay late and have a play.

Just need to punch out the retaining pin beside the pivot hole then I used a punch and it came quite easily.
I've just machined my breech to 90° so looking much better

That looks nice. Will it effect the gap between comp tube and breech?

Well um....
Was just looking at the breech seal to notice that it is shaped to match the angle of the breech!! Which means the breech angles down 6° and then the barrel angled back up from the end of the breech up 3°.....! So..... I'm going to keep machining and shimming and re engineering untill I get it right..! Which me luck 😂 |

I ended up taking slightly more off than I should have so breech is slightly upwards at the moment without the seal in

How hard would it be to make a whole new breech block? Or should I say, is it worth doing that?

I should be able to shim something into it.
I've shortened the barrel and it's awesome to look down and have a straight barrel! Took a little off the front and refaced it and will recrown it tomorrow. Also need to do the recess for the seal   Edited by Billbobnz - 04 Sep 2023 at 5:09pm |
