Hear me out.Make it hammer fired.Bob the back end.Cut and thread barrel but leave the locking surfaces.200 dollar tec-9Aside from from figuring out the recoil spring what other issues would I expect to run into?
>>65044116>locking surfacesSomething tells me you lack the required knowledge to do any of this.
>>65044116I want to change or modify every single component of this gun. Somehow it will magically be under 200 dollars
anon if you dont have a proper workshop then do yourself a favor and avert your eyes whenever you see parts kits.
>>65044122The barrel just stay in there on its own free will?>>65044131Have everything to do so, been fucking with shit for a while.>>65044134Live a little/K/ Full of noguns.
>>65044134>proper workshopYou underestimate the Harbor Freight grinder and JB Weld.
>>65044116>what other issues would I expect to run into?>notify meDecision delays will cost you a sample. Unless you can post a pic.
>>65044242Exactly, people who dont try cause they dont have "the right tools" drive me nuts, its an excuse for being lazy. Did this reweld with an Amazon wire welder, dremel and a sandblasting. Not the prettiest but runs 100%. If i Cerakoted it, it would look fine.>>65044266Ordered it yesterday before they went out of stock
>>65044300>its an excuse for being lazy.Sometimes.Other times it's they don't know what they're doing (rare that anyone will admit this), or they have higher standards than they know they are capable of. That said, you're never going to learn to do good work without making some fuckups first.
>>65044300its because 9 times out of 10 anons will buy a parts kit, realize it requires real big boy effort then shove it in a corner of the garage. a vz61 is a bit different since thet are still commercially made and you can get parts. goofy memeguns made by defunct companies are gonna be a bit tougher.
>>65044237>been fucking with shit for a while.But you don't know what "Locking Surface" refers to
>>65044331A parts kit is more about the journey than the destination. If you want "a gun" then just get one that already works. The point of a parts kit is if you're the kind of person who enjoys the process of working with their hands. It's like buying a 'project car'--it's a time and money-sink, but that's the point. If the idea of learning new processes and getting new tools interests you then go for it. If you just want the gun but you don't care about the process then forget parts kits and just go buy the gun.
>>65044395Educate me, what else would surfaces that lock the barrel in place be referred as?
>>65044395Locking surface it when there is no swimming because the lake freezes over.
>>65044407Locking Surfaces in firearms are where the bolt locks into the barrel or barrel extension to close the breech in a locked breech action. As a blowback action, the Z62 does not contain any locking surfaces.
>>65044407NTA, but in the context of gun jargon "locking surfaces" refer to specific features of a locked breech action, specifically those which hold the action shut against the pressure generated by the cartridge. On a bolt-action gun that would be faces on the bolt lugs and matching recesses in the receiver. On a toggle-locked gun it's the faces of the toggle mechanism and its pin. In a traditional side-by-side shotgun the locking surfaces are the bites in the lumps under the barrel and the Purdey underbolt which fits into them.The VZ61 is a straight blowback gun. It doesn't have any sort of locked breech at all and therefore it has no locking surfaces.>what else would surfaces that lock the barrel in place be referred as?Threads, shoulders, notches, it depends on exactly what feature you're asking about.
>>65044422So how would you describe these surfaces?
>>65044443Trunnion
>>65044443NTA, but that depends on what they do exactly.That doesn't look like a gun part to me, maybe it's from some kind of nail gun. If it's the latter then the small square faces at the end of those lugs might be locking surfaces. I marked them in green on picrel.
>>65044443considering thats the muzzle end of the barrel, its probably to retain the barrel and charging handle return spring.
>>65044458They go in here and rotate slightly to hold barrel in place.
>>65044474I don't know what the factory nomenclature is but the Star Z-70B is open bolt and has no locking lugs in the traditional sense.It's like the girlfriend thing.>Well, she's a girl, and she's my friend, but she's not my girlfriend.Those sure do look like lugs, and they appear to lock the barrel in place, but nobody would call those "locking lugs" like they would the features on an AR bolt, for example.
>>65044496Dont think I called them locking lugs, only locking surfaces.
