Have fun be safe 😂

Thanks! I appreciate that and I plan on doing a few more videos in the future of current projects I’m working on; How did your harlot turn out?

@@OrangeBananaMongoose it was great man. Had a little trouble with my trigger, the part that holds the firing pin seemed like it needs more sanding since it’s a little hard to pull back. Not gonna lie I was a bit scared to shoot it but worked like a charm. I didn’t file the screw for the firing pin at first but it still fires but it seems like the screw does hit it how it’s suppose to but I’m still gonna file it down how you did. I’ve tried some regular 22LR rounds in it and I can honestly say it’s pretty loud. I really like using the 22LR sub sonic made by Águila ammo in it. They’re rated for like 460fps but the harlot shoots then flawlessly.

@@Guzman3605 awesome! Possibly sanding the hammer rails (what holds the firing pin) would help with the hammer from being sticky; I don’t need to for most of my builds but you can use a sort of gun lube or even graphite powder on where the rails ride on the frame; that will make it smooth. Very interesting that it works with no modifications done to the firing pin! I wouldn’t have ever guessed that would work; Also I love shooting those aguila colibris! Great plinking round, You should check out the super colibri they shoot a tad faster and a lil louder

@@Guzman3605 howdy guzman, I was thinking of making an EZ22/HD22 assembly video; do you think that has some interest?

@@OrangeBananaMongoose how’s it going. Yes! Definitely . I didn’t know what it was till I did some research never seen it before but looks awesome. I have a 22LR CMMG bolt kit that I could use for something like that. I say go for it . I definitely will be watching videos on that 👍🏽.

Of course 💪

Yes this is true, I was using a #1 drill bit (most people can’t get .22 reamers) and it wasnt locked down all the way; so it was wobbly for the video; mistake I made almost a year ago while I was still learning how to use a lathe, but Thankyou for pointing it out! If nobody did then I would still be making my same mistakes!

@@OrangeBananaMongoose fair we all learn some how!

No problem! Glad you enjoyed

@@sandlerrs the harlot is the first of the derringer designs from BLC, A little less than a year ago or so they released a new version with an updated lock mechanism and a few other things you can change. It’s called the “Harlet” with an E, As for the one with the best performance it’s really subjective. Go ahead and download the harlet mega pack and check out their infographic with all the different versions and what parts are compatible.

@@REDGRAPAA sounds like a fun project, I’ll do that; shoot me another message later to remind me and I’ll start to print it

​@foster_9984 hello, were you able to print the gb22

@@sandlerrs I have! I have it assembled I just need to make the video; thanks for the reminder

@foster_9984 I appreciate it, I look forward to it

The most basic of hand tools are more than ample for this

M3x20, And the parts can be obtained from parts dispensed; or you can source them yourself (cheaper)

@@jamespondy0 Thankyou for the feedback

After the 5/16 bit to bore out the barrel body, I used a 7.9MM OD 5.6MM ID

Go to odysee, and look up the harlot

5/16

That shouldn’t be happening, How it’s designed the firing pin should strike along the rim; Do you have pictures you can send on another platform? Also what style of firing pin are you making? The firing pin does not go in at an angle in the hammer. Let me know if you need more help.

@@OrangeBananaMongoose thanks for the input man! Ill try doing a new pin this afternoon. Im working with a pretty clean print and DB parts kit. Spring seems to be hammering the round well jist not in the right spot. If that doesnt work, I will post a thread to r/fosscad and keep u posted . Was also thinking to get a stronger spring although I dont think thats my issue RN (could be tho) thanks again!

@@buildstrong425 sounds good! Hit me up on Reddit I frequent fosscad too my username is JU87_Stuka, That’s weird especially seeing as you have a parts kit + it’s clean print; I’ve built many harlots but my very first one came from a parts kit and the spring was VERY weak so I needed to upgrade that. I’d definitely like to see a picture of a 22 rim of yours to see if it’s actually hitting the center, Could be a simple issue

@@buildstrong425 did you get it figured out?

@@OrangeBananaMongoose yea i did actually, meant to get back to ya. You were right about the files lining up the pin. What worked for me was adding a couple shims behind the spring to give it more compression and power. I also re did the pin and locked it in a vertical orientation (instead of horizontal) and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks again for the input man!!

Length of the cartridge case minus rim

the printer did it, No engraving

🤣🤣🤣

The future is now old man

My printer willl print those details just fine. If you have one of the first 3d printer on the market maybe it’s time to upgrade

Depending on where you got your barrel liner, All of the barrel should be rifled; unless it came pre chambered, you can tell if your barrel is pre chambered by plunking a .22 bullet into the side where it would fit; if not then you’ll need to chamber whichever side you want

@@OrangeBananaMongoosethanks man! I appreciate it. Looks like mine came pre chambered. I appreciate you clarifying! It’s crazy to me that the print doesn’t fit the barrel perfectly and you need to drill it out. Is there a reason why it couldn’t just be adjusted to print the perfect size?

@@norgeboriorealtor of course no worries! The creator of the harlot used a different sized barrel for his original design; so that’s why the hole is smaller than your brownells 7.9 OD liner. I’m pretty sure you can find a file online that uses a proper 7.9 OD hole so you don’t have to worry about drilling; also in some programs you can remix the file so the hole is the proper size for what you need. Let me know if you need more help or help finding the new file if you don’t want to drill out your barrel assembly. It’s an added step of complexity that the creator should have fixed off the bat. I think with the new harlet release (not the harlot) they have included different sized barrel files so you can use the smaller 7.9 OD brownells liner or the 9.2 Chazzel liner; just let me know!

@@OrangeBananaMongoose Thank you so much for explaining this. This makes a lot of sense! I'll need to search around and see if I can find that file for the 7.9 OD barrel. I honestly might just play around with the file in Fusion360 and see if I can figure out how to increase the hole size (Still learning). I appreciate the help! I subscribed to your channel! I'll be sure to reach out if I have any other questions! Hope you have a happy New year!

@@norgeboriorealtor of course no worries! Glad I could help, if you can’t find the file I can do it on fusion 360 for you; Just a couple of clicks and it’ll be golden 😁 Good luck and happy new year

M3x55 is what the design calls for

Sounds like a you problem

@@OrangeBananaMongoose if that helps you cope sure we can go with that...

Skill issue

The barrel liner should not be loose, Try using JB weld instead of epoxy; that should hold the barrel in place

Use a mill or drill press to mill a flat side/slot or a recessed hole, or file a flat slide on the side of the barrel like halfway erc. Then drill a hole on the side of the barrel housing, and use a set/grub screw to lock it into place.

The springs that come in the parts kits from places like parts-dispensed are always too weak, I would recommend going to you’re local hardware store and taking your hammer and harlot spacer with you; then finding a spring that can fit; go to 6:40 in the video and you will see what I’m talking about; if the spring you find from the hardware store is too long you can cut it down to the correct size. Your gonna want a pretty decently strong spring! Let me know if you need any more help

​@@OrangeBananaMongoose yeah the spring I got is so hard to pull back it hurts your fingers so it won't be having any light strikes
