New tool for the tool box.....

Gazoo · 01-06-2008, 06:57 PM

My new to me PGP-2 after I made it into a side tube.I also did the valve tune on it too. I have seemed to improve a little with my soldering as well. Still waiting on the icing on the cake to arrive from a certain machinist......

I did manage to make 1 mistake. I seemed to put a small dent in the feed tube from my use of tie wirer. Must have put a bit more on it that I needed too. Guess it makes it mine now. Ill do better next time.

OK, here is the pics:

Very classy.

You can get the dent in the feed tube out by either pushing a 12 gram tube through or a dowel (just depends on the internal diameter of the tube). You will probably need to use a rubber mallet and dowell to move the 12 gram (make sure you use an empty one) so either clamp the body in a vice or make sure it is resting on pads so that you don't bend the back of the other tubes if you rest it on it's end while smacking the 12 gram through.

Did just that. Check the last photos and the dent is all but gone.

Those grips just make every gun look sooo much better...

Nice piece

and feels sooooo much better too. My one dislike for Sheridan's has always been the grip frame, mainly the rear screw. This has eliminated it completely. You have to get one

!!
Plus I now have that "Dirty Harry" feeling with it.
It holds 12 + 1 too, soo...

I countersink those pesky screws.... with a little backside countersink that i drop in through the hole then grab with a drill.

-since there is no access for a normal one.

in fact the countersink looks a lot like a little flat head screw.

you can in fact make one from a screw. that will get you a couple uses.

take a screw and cut it with a dremmel so it has teeth like a countersink using a dremmel cut off wheel. it'll still cut the pot metal frame pretty easy even if you do a halfway incompetent job.
