Trygve's Lever Action Build in progress..

[OpusX]

Why is Velcor so angry?! What has happened oh Brass God!!

[BrickHaus]

This is terrible news, but if anyone can salvage it I'd say you can. It also totally sounds like something Id do.

I wish I knew what kind of sacrifice to make to please mighty Velcor and stop the maddness.


Can we at lease see how badly the body is beat up? Are you able to reuse the barrel and other custom work, or did that take a hit too?

[WALZ]

Here is a picture of the ovulation of the lower tube...
i have since repaired this with a cool pipe expander tool my buddy had.. but.... it's not perfect so I made a new body almost the same...

[Spider!]

Other tools and videos for such things are related to removing shotgun barrel dents. It's kind of interesting.

[BrickHaus]

It doesnt look that bad from here Wally. Id still shoot it. Hell, Id machine a hammer to freely move in the tube if need be. Dinged up or not, your work is beautiful.


So I still dont understand. In this scenario, you started over completely, or you will/ did peel the barrel and magazine off of this lower tube and put them on the next lower tube?

And if you started over completely. Whats the plan with this bent assembly? I ask cuz Id buy it as a project if you are just gonna scrap it. It would give me the excuse to try to make a stock.

[WALZ]

if you want it I can make up a feed tube and add another barrel ( not titanium but a standard kp barrel tube)with dentents for 50:00 shipped to ya.

[BrickHaus]

Wally. I PMd ya.

[Trygve]

Twinning!!

[jeramiej]

That picture shows a gun with character, but I understand the artist’s drive for perfection.

[WALZ]

Here she is.... new body made and ready to polish....
i used the barrel section and the feed tube from the original model.
cut a couple slots in the front brass sleeve so titanium shows through more..polished up the barrel and am going to flame anodize the barrel also...
left the lower tube full length until you make a decision to cut it down or not...

[BrickHaus]

Amazing. You really are a hot work wizard.

[Trygve]

Oooh im sweatin. The window on the barrel is cool stuff. Cant wait to see it with the stock.

I dont know about cuttin it down. It sorta looks cool how it is. Or cut it flush with barrel.... i dunno.

Anyone else have an opinion?

-Leave the lower tube just like it is (kinda classic)
-Cut it flush with barrel (maybe better aesthetically?)
-cut it way down (lighter? Easier to reach? Maybe looks more rifle like?)

[Chuck E Ducky]

I like the shortened lower look. But that knob will probably be easier to grab on a change out.

[BrickHaus]

Id go for shortened on this build, but then Id say it needs a lever release.

[Trygve]

Thanks folks I originally requested it to be cut down, I think I'll stick with that.

Would a lever release make it a double lever action? hmm...

[WALZ]

Ok- cut the lower tube down to end of stock, re-threaded her and she is good to go..
didnt take a picture of it yet but I did flame anodize the barrel and I think it's what your were aiming for.... I hope...haha...
And i did take that picture


Check it out and let me know if it works for ya....

[MoJo]

Absolutely love it!!

[WALZ]

Brickhaus, yours I did more subdued on purpose to go with the look of the powdercoat...
This one I polished up and chucked it into a drill on low speed making it easer to control the coloring... not a perfect method but good for flame anodizing..

[BrickHaus]

Awesome to hear how you do these little things differently. I hope my comment didn't ensue I'm not completely in love with my build. I know your work all has uniqueness, and my build makes me smile ear to ear.

Just more curious as to you achieve the different looks.

[WALZ]

Assembled the new body today, still need to make a ball feed for her and some plugs and whatever I else I forgot..
i did make a new delrin bolt for her as requested...

Here's another couple of pictures for you to check out.

womt be to,long now... I still need to do some inlay on the fore end of the stock, just haven't figured out what to do yet.

[JeepDVLZ45]

I know it’s been mentioned, but that barrel is absolutely incredible.

[BrickHaus]

Ammmazing!!!


The brass rings on that bolt look promising.

And not gonna lie, when Trygve requested q blade sight, I personally thought I wasn't going to be a fan of how it looked, but I really like the sights you came up with!

[Trygve]

Oh man this is wild. Those colours are gorgeous. Also really stoked on the bolt. Man you do quick work. Its pretty unbelievable.

Im not usually one for bright n flashy but you may have swayed me. Although im sort of excited to watch the brass age as well.

[WALZ]

Tonite for more pictures.... been adding coats of boiled linseed oil to her and due to the cold weather it's taking forever to dry..
Stay tuned...

[Chuck E Ducky]

Man that is coming out really nice. Can’t wait to see it all complete. That flame Ano is so bright ❤️ It!

[WALZ]

Sorry about the wait but the last coat of boiled linseed oil I rubbed in took four days to dry. It's been cold and wet up here this last week.

Still not complete but together..".I forgot to bore a hole for the dropout into the stock, need to make a bit shorter linkage arm ( I'll do brass), powdercoat the trigger block black. Add a screw here and there....
Did test out and she fires up to speed nicely with a smooth pull..
Feedport is flamed anodized to match barrel. Just rotate to open and close....

[BrickHaus]

Omg, i didnt think you had any more razzle dazzle left. But here we are. Let me grab my jaw from the shop floor.

And I mean, I didnt think you could impress me any further than you have. But man. This has to be one of the coolest, most distinct markers Ive laid witness to.

[packersrule729]

Goddamn……that is SEXY

[jeramiej]

Crazy build, lots of bling. Love the creativity and different options every time. That is an art.
