StraightUp_OG Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Open it is! Fit the slide, face milled the flats just cuz. The frame is un-ramped but the Schuemann is a clark/para so this will be another first. Got my new carbide 3/8" and 11/32" end mills last week so I am good to go. Got the next couple of days off so a chip making I will be! Edited June 10, 2013 by StraightUp_OG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wes777 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I need a mill, this thread has me dreaming of designing a gun the way I want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jid2 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 JID2 awesome set up! i am planning on building something similar thanks for the inspiration! Sweet, are you talking machine or open gun? I'm pretty happy with both! Open gun was flawless at Ironman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnyglock Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Man I want to start another build. Keep the pics of the progress coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightUp_OG Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) So the RTS order got canceled because the web store I ordered it from adjusts their inventory manually and the site was wrong. Yea!!!! So still on the hunt for the RTS but the Cheeley mount and Bedell Ti comp is on the way. Oh yeah I also got my PT long dust cover frame today from Brian. WooT!!!

Heavyopp Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Barrel is underway! OG -- are you actually doing anything to the barrel itself? Do you bore the holes or get it from infinity that way? I'm really just curious how you handle the burr on the inside of the barrel if your putting the holes in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightUp_OG Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) The barrel is made by Schuemann Barrels. It is their hybrid comp AET barrel so the ports were machined by them. jid2, who also is contributing to this thread, machined popple holes into his barrel and could answer the "burr" question much better than I.

jid2 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I started a thread on the subject. My process worked well with a straight flute carbide drill and then a ball end mill to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyopp Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Found it... Thanks for that Learn something here everyday --- there's so much info on this site I get lost -- Never thought I'd come here to Enos to learn about machining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightUp_OG Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Got my Bedell Ti comp and Cheeley RTS mount in today! I am waiting on my comp reamer and still need the RTS since that order was canceled. But man that mount is small and cute! Never thought I would call a scope mount cute...

outerlimits Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I can't imagine the amount of powder yer gonna need with all those holes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Sounds like you are building the open gun I want, except I want 9mm. Lol. Can't wait to see it. Thanks for posting all the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightUp_OG Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 It is not that much more powder. :-P 2 open guns ago I had a 5 port Schuemann and a 3 port comp so a similar set up and my current open gun has no ports and a 5 port Trubor on it and the difference in load to make major was .5-.7 grains difference. I expect it will be about the same with this gun. But that is OK, more powder, more gas MORE FLAT! Thanks a matt I will keep posting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnyglock Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 WOW!!!! That turned out amazing. Can't wait for the range report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jid2 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It's still not done yet, the pieces are just kinda sitting there in the pictures. I need to fit and mount the glass in the frame, layout and fabricate the circuit board, drill mounting holes on the other side of my frame and some other stuff. Hopefully I get some time this weekend to make some progress. But overall I'm getting excited to go out and shoot with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
