Custom breech block .

[1260engineer]

More 7075 T651

After cutting it to ruff size it went in the mill for a quick square up .then a block cut out of one end . then another block bolted into place ready for

A spin in the lathe for a rather long hole

tiz rarther long .

If you look on the furthest/back edge you will see where ive added the block .
Then the block is back to the mill for some shape and raised doves

The bore is then reamed to size .
Then you end up with this .

The idea with the bolt on section is so you can remove the cap and just lift out the bolt .
that then gives you access to the cocking slot.
There you go.

Morning J, sorry the "shed of 1260" , the home of exquisite airgun jewellery

Lovely work that.

Lovely work. Reminds me of when a machined an alloy block up for a sharp innova I did a few years back.

 

[Mike Woody Watkins]

Morning J. Very impressive! How long would that have taken to do?

Thank you Bill

Cool do you have any pictures. i would love to see that . i have a Innova and Ace very nice to have self contained rifles .

Innova alloy block here.
For a temporary job I covered this in camo tape to see how this shot first. Several years later and it’s still the same.

Proper good machining that, wish you were my neighbour.

Morning Mike
probably a coulpe of days . it takes longer to set up than actually machine it . the longest bit is setting up for the dove tails .
sounds a bit strange but i fit a barrel and the line up off the muzzel end . (nuts how did that happen )
Then i wind the bed full back so the dove tails are perfectly in line with the barrel .

You could get away with a Giss or sledge action, weight wise it should be fine in titanium. However, I'd be happy with a simple sub-12 titanium sporter...

I admire the cut of your jib 1260. I'm about to embark on a similar project although I'm still at the CAD stage. ( Cardboard cut outs ) I've got an Anschutz stock, a Walther cylinder, a CZ barrel and a spare Reximex regulator. My breech blocks normally start off as round stock to enable drilling/boring from both ends. Squaring off comes later. It's a bit wasteful of material but it works for me.
The problem I've got is lack of space in which to finagle a trigger mech. I'm working on it. Can't wait to actually start machining.
