ok fixed all that!
as this is a 2006 sidkit I've had to completely modify the bolt lever mechanism to work the same as the WC. its been a hell of a job and still doesnt completely open like the WC, though it's the best I could do with the mechanism. I'd be interested to see how sids WC bolt lever mechanism opens (anyone?)
I also screwed in the barrel to the bulldog frame as I figured epoxy glue just wouldn't be strong enough.
also added this casting of a round nut to the receiver end cap.
more updates soon. _________________ "F*ck it, it's just a movie. Let him worry about it" Harrison Ford |

cheers guys
work is going at a snails pace with this project as any time I get to do major modifications is sucked up by smaller things like this:
I modded up a casting of a weaver I got from OB. basically split it in two peices and sharpened up the details, embeding an allen screw at the bottom hidden with a layer of metal. I was going to buy a real weaver knob I saw earlier today, though this one looks good enough for now. _________________ "F*ck it, it's just a movie. Let him worry about it" Harrison Ford |

the switch was a 2006 sidkit switch which is alot different to the wc, so I re-shaped it. I've actually added a bigger bit of rod now from a nail, and the plate under the screw was cut from steel sheeting. the screw is around 6mm diameter.

got the trigger mechanism set up and it works great! I created grub grews for all insertion rods just to eliminate the glue factor. I reshaped the safety switch again and added a smaller screw. this also holds the bullet chamber properly secure now after fiddling with the mechanism.
so the mods and build up are pretty much done. all I need to do now is to engrave the numbers and symbols (something which I am dreading) and shine everything up ready for blueing and painting. so another couple of months I reackon _________________ "F*ck it, it's just a movie.

I've been looking for this screw. Any idea exactly what it's called or identified as? Like the type of head shape and length? _________________

round head or button head slot screw I think. around 4 or 5mm in head diameter. mine still isn't totaly correct, but thats a case with most of this blaster, so not too bothered. _________________ "F*ck it, it's just a movie. Let him worry about it" Harrison Ford |

I do have an extra original screw and washer for this. It is far too short to fit through a thicker Sidkit release switch though.

just when I thought anything else couldnt go wrong with this (so much has done so far) I got all the parts nice a clean for the paint job. This has been a complete disaster as the finish was pretty poor due to me not priming the parts first and using this metal paint which was giving me a bit of an orange peel texture.
so now I have to figure out how to strip this crap off and without using anything that could potentially melt the milliput areas I filled in.
and I thought painting would be the easy part! _________________ "F*ck it, it's just a movie. Let him worry about it" Harrison Ford |
