Oh wow, I just found this channel & your comment was my 1st realisation we lost this guy. Sorry to hear it. He left us a legacy in his vids, passing on knowledge...

Just found it also. Damn.

I as well have just found his channel. What a loss for the firearms community. Hopefully he got all his lose end tied up before he passed.

Same just found this guy/channel that sucks he's gone .

Well gentlemen you'd better watch all his vids fast & take notes. I seem to recall hearing YT is going to begin purging their platform of channels whose owners passed starting this month

Unless youtube deletes it. Hopefully some people recorded this. I will not since my interest is only passing in nature.

Wow, thanks!

Stainless steel chorboy last longer

Nice data. Thanks.

Glad you enjoyed it

You think small ball bearings would have the same effect? I feel like they would stack better, but there would be less air. I don’t know if that’s why you chose the eyelets instead.

Eyelets allow for more gas flow around them while diverting the path of the gas.

They weren't that much in the 70's.

you could buy internals from ONE Vendor and the tubes from ANOTHER Vender. (so I heard)

And the outer tubes were like, 10 pages after the ad for the internals. I remember it well. Do you remember the 2 liter pop bottle adaptors for the MAC 10s? 🙂

@@63DIRTY They sold them for 10/22's also. There was even a version that clamped onto .410 non ribbed shotgun barrels sold.

They were 42 dollars from RPB and then SWD up until 1985

You're welcome

we used the strap hanger and then used to rat a coat hanger around it and twist until it got tight but it was shit to hold onto. wish we had those silicon pot holder gloves back in the day. somebody would have made tactical silicon pot holder gloves...

You bet!

I shall try.

He passed away did he. I found the article on his passing on the web. My father was a master machinist and I followed in his footsteps. He passed in 09 of cancer also.

The MK9 is a great can.

Thanks, will do!

Right on

No problem 👍

He's been dead

😅😅😅😁

I'll have a beer with you anytime.

Thanks for watching!

For sure.

Thanks 😄

Old technology but still good.

@@BWEFirearms my Son shooting that Silencer with a nonexistent cover. This is a SMG I assembled from a stripped transferable Jersey Arms recurved. kzfaq.infowwv1jh3K9rw?feature=share

@@535tony Your son has good trigger control.

@@BWEFirearms He is a head hunter. I was amazed he could get such short bursts from an M10/45. He can shoot singles in our Reising.

@@535tony Very cool.

Glad you enjoyed it!

That is a neat idea.

im sure he would if he could be sadly he is no longer with us

The spirals are definitely inefficient compared to other baffle designs these days… They did allow good flow-through though.

I shot it in one take then edited it afterwards. It's a 9mm MAC silencer not a 45. I will make new internals for the second stage but I will squirrel the original parts away in case I ever decide to put it back to original.

The MACs did not but some of the old silencers use bronze wool.

@@BWEFirearms…. a excellent replacement is the STAINLESS STEEL or COPPER coated pads sold in packs at discount stores, (just pack in tight) or muffler material (fireproof) sold at motorcycle shops to repack and rebuild blown-out 2 strokes. steel wool is coated with a rustproof flammable coating, would not use.

I think he said stainless steel.

Yes it does. Never quit learning.

Now you know.

No, it was originally for an Ingram MAC10. he adapted the barrel nut on the micro Uzi so it would thread on.

It's a Trak 1630 lathe.

@@BWEFirearms I looked up the specs as I'm not familiar with those. Nice distance between centers and a big bore through the spindle is nice. About the only limiting things would be it has a low spindle speed top end and the rapid travel rates are slow. I see they have an option for a tool turret but I didn't see one on yours. Even if your using it for one of a kind jobs or for prototype work, a tool turret will save you a lot of time and cut down on scrap. I'm not sure what kind of electrical interface is required but you can get Chinese tool turrets for $1200 bucks new. You will be hard pressed to get an original for that kind of money. I guess you also could set it up as a gang tool style cnc if you wanted a little more automated production out of it. With all that cnc power so close I'm surprised you haven't turned down a piece of 2" diameter material to make an Uzi barrel with a funnel end on it kind of like a blunderbuss or ray gun. That would be an impressive science fiction space gun barrel on an Uzi. Practical? Nope, but it looks cool hanging in the lineup with the normal guns!

@@tenlittleindians I am not a high production shop so it works well for me. Tool changer was out of my price when I purchased it. I wish the distance between centers was longer for full length barrel work but it is what it is.

@@BWEFirearms True. A lot of people read 30 inches but don't realize a chuck at one end and a tail stock at the other can burn up distance fast. No machinist wants to take off a chuck and use a face plate with lathe dogs unless he has to. The problem with the longer bed lathes is they waste a lot of shop floor space for how few times your turning something long. When I was checking out the specs on your model lathe I noticed they now have a 40" between centers version. That would cover most modern barrel outside diameter work. Inside barrel work needs double that distance to fit long tooling in the tail stock or tool posts. That's when a dedicated gun drill earns it's keep.

@@tenlittleindians I looked at the 40" machine and it lacked features that I needed.

I'm working on getting better.
