Projects
Camera Mount: Mount was designed to mount POV camera within the milling envelope of the machine to capture video and time-laps of milling projects.
Rifle Assessors: Small assessors to assist rifle shooters in increasing accuracy, speed and flexibility of their rifle systems.
Revolver Deconstructed: Modifying a late 60's early 70's Smith & Wesson 10-6 K frame .38 special to a competition revolver. The project consists of making a new barrel from a barrel blank, making a barrel shroud that will allow the attachment of optical sights as well as adjustable BoMar type iron sights.The barrel shroud will then be held on by a muzzle break/flash suppressor. Modifying the square-butt frame to a round-butt, designing a new cylinder latch release lever and a new paint job.
Rifle Zero: long term project to design and develop a lightweight gas operated auto-loading rifle.
At the right you can see the first version that would have incorporated a sheet metal upper and lower receivers skinned in a thermoformed sheathing.
The breech is locked using a original design created by my self. The gas system is adjustable to allow for the use of suppressors and is of the short stroke piston operated design.
All of the following content is of the previous design efforts.
The revised design is completed and ready for prototype build, pending budget and machine availability.

This is the revolver before starting work. It was taken to a local range to test fired to check for function and safe operation before starting the project.

In the render the overall concept of Rifle Zer0 can been seen in its military form. The original concept was for a stamped and lightened steel upper receiver that was then sheathed in a thermoformed plastic to keep debris out of the mechanism.
In this line drawing the circular lightening holes cut into the upper and lower receivers can been seen more clearly.
Lower receiver prototype that was bent with a finger break.
