Possibly free titanium stuff

[J.Galt]

Anyone want anything made out of titanium?

Within reason please

And smaller than say 7" x 5" x 1.5"

If its pretty simple and if I can sell a few of them you might be able to get a free one out of me

If its a titanium frame of some kind, that may be something I'm interested in, but I probably cant do it for free. Id be interested in it if I like whatever its for too because Im looking for a gun to make for fun. And of course I cant sell it to you unless its legal.

Just bored and trying to find something fun to mill

Something like a trigger or hammer or some little bracket or something would be perfect because the toolpath would be simple and I could make it relatively quickly

Something like a frame would take me weeks or months because Id design all the toolpaths in aluminum to figure out all the setups and then once that was stable i'd adjust everything for titanium which is a whole nother task

whatcha got?!?!?

Peep sight/front sight for 10/22

Peep sight/front sight for 10/22

sounds right...

so is this a part that isnt for sale or something?

or is the titanium what would make it special?

how about a link to a picture of it?

[kielbasavw]

I personally wouldn't sell it. Titanium would be something cool and different. I just been wanting a peep sight for my old 10/22 that was given to me a long time ago from my dad. And I need a new front sight to match since mine is actually broken.

I like the take down version

Colt LE 901 Charge Handle w/BCM catch.

No one is making these as it a proprietary part.

I'll take one if you do !!!

i should mention that i need to somehow get a drawing or some kind of specifications...are those available somewhere for this?

AR tool? Precision keychain tweezers?

If you really want to make this I can order a new Colt 901 CH for you to copy.

But you'll need a BCM CH for the set up for their latch, Mod 3 latch is what I need, and would like it to function like BCM Gunfighter CH.

PM me if your truly interested and will do this, as I will have to order the Colt CH. Not willing to give up the one on the rifle...

I'm sure if you make a number of these they will sell, probably on this forum in WTS...

can you show me a picture of this piece, ideally by itself?

what are its overall dimensions?

and we are talking a strictly titanium part or can it be steel or something else?

and can you give me an idea why you dont like the stock CH and what your dream CH has as far as size, weight, eye color, jean size, cup size etc

Firing pin for Makarov pistol. Someone made these at ont time, I believe. I think I have a spare you could use as a sample.

extended slide release -- or two -- for mossberg 590 series shotguns. there was a calgunner who designed one (i'll look for a link), but i don't think he ever got to the production stage.

ETA: the thread i was thinking of is here, but i had no idea someone (same guy? different?) has started producing them commercially.

is that the lever that is right above his thumb in those pictures? whats the part on the inside look like?

that is indeed the component in question. here's a close-up of the OEM part alone:



and this photo (from shoten armory) shows a modified release installed in a trigger group with a stock-and-pistol-grip assembly in position -- minus the receiver. the OEM release is above them.

light weight muzzle brake for ar long enough to turn a 14.5" barrel to 16.1" (think 2.1" long) and a low profile gas block. hopefully that would be enough to shave 4-8 ounces off the front of an ar platform rifle.....

Make sure it's weldable metal as you will need to pin/weld the muzzle device on to the barrel...

The following is an excerpt from Deutsche Titan, written Nov. 2000 and located here http://www.deutschetitan.de/eng/profi/kb11.html :

Welding titanium with other metals presents great difficulties due to embrittlement caused by the formation of intermetallic phases. Numerous tests to join titanium with molybdenum, tantalum, silver and vanadium by the TIG process without filler metal have resulted, with the exception of vanadium and silver and with niobium and hafnium, in welds of limited ductility.

Welding steel with titanium is very difficult due to the low solubility of iron in alpha titanium at room temperature. When titanium is welded with steel the intermetallic phases TiFe and TiFe2 form, which are very hard and brittle and prevent the production of technically useable welds.

One way to achieve ductile welds of steel and titanium is to use intermediate layers of materials capable of being welded with both titanium and steel, without brittle phases occurring. One such material is vanadium. Titanium/vanadium/steel joints have been produced successfully by resistance spot, electron beam and diffusion welding.

In the same way, initial plasma overlay welds using titanium grade 2 and grade 12 on HII boiler plate have been carried out successfully, with intermediate layers of copper.

Niobium is suitable for intermediate passes to produce serviceable copper-titanium welds, while silver has proved successful in the production of aluminum/titanium joints.

Another way of making welds between titanium and other metals such as stainless steel or aluminum is friction welding. In most cases however a loss of strength in the weld must be expected.

These methods of welding titanium with steel and other metals are special processes that for reasons of cost (intermediate passes) or shape (friction welding) are restricted to specific applications and are not yet widely used in volume production.

To produce flat, large-area joints between titanium and other metals explosive cladding has proved successful and is already being used on a routine basis.
