Touch hole liners

[Flint62Smoothie]

Yup, McMaster-Carr, item#3309a41, 3/32" (~93-thousands) shank , 5/16" body ... and $30 :surrender: !

See: http://www.mcmaster.com/#3309a41/=bxgh4

That's it exactly. Now, if they did one smaller with a 1/16" or 5/64" shaft, you'd have one super duper touch hole coning tool.

 

[Tom Compton]

drill a hole in the offside flat, cone the touch hole, tap the off side hole and screw a plug in it.

Then you could use that as a cleanout plug.

Or you could put an extra lock on the other side and light it off from both sides. Ought to totally eliminate missed fires and/or hangfires.
:blah: :surrender:

EUREKA! What a novel combination. The ML world will never be the same. :rotf:

 

[Tom Compton]

Hmmmmm :hmm: combining the ideas brought forth here along with a recently read item about the CO2 ball discharger, could easily rig an air rifle powered from a nitrogen bottle :youcrazy: . Would have to jerk the ball valve lever open tho and not squeeze it. :blah:

Think I'll take something for this headache now.

 

[bingo1952]

I have a few of those. I charge the reservoirs off a SCUBA tank.
I think we are biginning to drift ff . :wink:

[bingo1952]

That thing is a work of art. Is it yours?

 

[jtmattison]

It doesn't appear to be superimposed so I have to ask...Why was it built?

Stainless steel 1/4" x 28 nipple threads screw in and out of a steel breechplug...people are encouraged to do that...part of every cleaning regimen.

Stainless steel 1/4" x 28 vent liner threads screw in and out of a steel breechplug;
But the COMMON chant is: oh no, never remove your vent liner, and people on your right will get killed, etc, ETC, ETC.

People...ITS THE SAME THING as removing a nipple.

AND...a vent liner would typically have the additional benefit of being held in place with the lock.



I don't care if anybody else takes them out as part of their cleaning regimen or not, but those that don't should DEFINITELY NOT be making posts that spread mis-information that they SHOULDN'T be removed because its dangerous, and people on their right are going to get hurt...saying those things at best shows a complete lack of understanding of what's going on, and at worst is irresponsible.

:shake:

Remember, steel threads into steel threads whether on a nipple or vent, are the same thing.
A dab of Natural Lube 1000 (or anti-seize grease) each time, finger snug only with just thumb & forefinger...they'll out last us all.

I just got a 5/64 hole in the side of my barrel, guess I better try to figure a way to get it out ...and then back in when I clean my Fusil, I think it is pretty much a matter of choice whether one removes the liner of not for years most builders have intalled them and filed the slot off, I agree that it is no more dangerous than removing a niple and that has been a pretty standard routine...now back to removing that 5/64 hole for cleaning my gun.

 

[roundball]

You're going at this wrong TG...leave the hole in place and remove the barrel from around it

 

[FishDFly]

roundball,

Thanks, you have taken care of another one of my questions

Thanks

RDE

 

[tg]

Ahha I knew there must be an easy way to do it.I just hope I don't loose the hole during the process as I did not drill any spares when I drilled the one I am useing.

 

[Birddog6]

TG, :hmm: just drill one on the other side of the barrel, then if ya lose one hole you will have a backup !! :shocked2: :rotf:
