ok guys, I finally finished up my night school classes and its time to start making a custom back block and bolt. I opened my big mouth and volunteered to make a back block for drktamer and now he wants a custom bolt too! I don't have a lathe yet, nor fundage to buy one, so turning a bolt is not really an option. does anyone have an all delrin bolt (no orings) to donate to the cause?

I will take pictures of the process and the finished product and I am sure tamer will take some on the gun once completed.

whats the back block going to be made of?

**jaggy13** · September 29th, 05:03 PM

delrin, but I need a delrin bolt to to mill down too. any one have one?

**paintthecatBLUE** · September 29th, 05:16 PM

i'd give you mine, except i need a new bolt first, which is going to be awhile because im trying to get an E2 within the next 2 days. i have $50

***DarkTamer*** · September 29th, 06:12 PM

Hey jaggy, I found a stock orracle e-class bolt that I'm gonna pick up this sunday, it has the slots for o-rings but oh well... I couldn't resist it for $5.

**jaggy13** · September 29th, 07:06 PM

the orry bolt isn't bad. I ran one of those in my STO. its part aluminum like a shock tech though. so not much I can do with it. anyway, I will get to work on the back block and if we come up with a delrin bolt, I will do that later.

**jaggy13** · October 9th, 02:18 AM

here are some pics threw the phases of building it. the lighting was poor, well because I was working on it when normal people sleep...

**jaggy13** · October 9th, 02:21 AM

I left the delrin block a little thicker than the slick I was modleing because I didn't want to risk it breaking. Its still very light, but should allow for a little more abuse.

oh, I also made a vid, but don't have the band width to host it here. catch me on AIM to see it in action.

***chinchaz*** · October 9th, 02:33 AM

Looking good and you made it after midnight

**jaggy13** · October 9th, 02:39 AM

sleep is for wooses and nubs. real men stay up all night and make soap.

Could you email the vid to me? I won't be on AIM for a while: dtamer@comcast.net

**jaggy13** · October 9th, 09:18 PM

the latest batch of pics. I have sanded it and polished it, any more tamer will have to take over on.

**paintthecatBLUE** · October 9th, 09:32 PM

what did you do with the remaining 7/8ths of that chunk of delrin?

send it to me if you have nothing else to do with it.

**Sumweirdguy** · October 9th, 09:44 PM

Wow that's really awesome. How much does it weigh in at?

**jaggy13** · October 9th, 11:44 PM

I don't have a gram scale, so not sure what it weighs. I tried to make it light, but strong. I could shave it down a ton more, but not sure I would trust it because of the impact on the cocking rod. If he had an MQ valve though, I could make a feather weight.
It used about 1/3 of the block I had. There is a plastics distributer here in town. They have bins of delrin. I paid about $2 for 3 chunks like that. get your phone book out and see what you can find locally. you may be very supprised.

more good new. a bolt is on its way. its white so I will do a custom die job on it, and maybe try and shave it down somemore too.

**jaggy13** · October 10th, 10:25 PM

since I was having so much "fun" with delrin, I decided to make myself a snatch grip too.
