thought i'd keep c.j.'s tradition alive by modding/testing things out w/ redux #43





ive got a long ways to go but you get the idea.
feedtube will be right snug to the body (if i dont ruin the block finishing it)
i need to cut the feed hole to line up w/ the hole in the body of the gun at the correct angle, wich might take some figuring.
and id like to cut all the excess aluminum off but it'll be tricky on a manual mill
probably end up doing a lot of filing.

i had a couple other ideas i thought i would bounce off you guys
im thinking lever action, pirate stock next
not really,
but what about putting a pin in the right side of the body so it has in effect dual pump arms? the feedneck would hold it in. would need a slot milled in the snub and another hole in the tpc
another thing i was thinking about was milling a couple grooves in the side and maybe top of the valve body and putting delrin inserts in, ive got a bba i could test it on first.
also... how about putting one on a diet like in between the lower and upper handles and probably some other areas that arent seen could shed some weight
just thoughts....

This could be a great idea! I don't seem to have any pinching issues with my Redux, but if these make it into production, you can consider me interested in one.

Looks promising, keep up the mod I am curious to see it in it's finished state. It looks like you could groove the top for optics WDYT?

Dsa: I'm going try to get it round but I geuss you could.
Dm6: I'm not much of a machinist.
I just have an old j-head in the garage but some one could make them easy

Looks nice. What is it with this gun? It makes it's owners want to tinker with it. lol

[B.R.]

removed a bunch of extra material still need a lot more sanding, mounting holes, and a bit of dremmel work on the inside.
a cram and jam would be pretty eas to make.

Very nice B.R.! You're doing the kind of stuff I'd love to have done, had I had access to a machine shop.

Have you seen the rest of this forum? I don't care WHAT gun it is, everyone wants to tinker with it As long as it doesn't have batteries, naturally...

Yes I have, and I was hinting at the fact that this particular Redux has had more work done on it than any other Redux. This gun makes it's owner want to tinker with it.
