BF Mods by Custom-Classic

A lot of that has to do with the fact that we have a brass negative contact that's threaded into the body...

as well as the beryllium copper positive contact with silver contact pad...

In the interest of full disclosure,..... NF talked me into giving 7075 a shot... It is definitely taking more time to machine, but it's not horrible. Bits heat up a little quicker, so I'm having to take it slower than I do with 6061 or brass.

We'll see what's really goin' on once I start boring the big holes... So far, so good though...

I was really glad to see that things were going well so far! I tend to go toward overkill sometimes on materials but I want more durability from my metal mods. I feel that 7075 is a good option at least for now

Painfully slow with drill bits...

A little faster drilling with end mills...

Gettin' there...

 

[Nautilusfan]

Yea it's some hard stuff! That's why they make rifle barrels out of it Thanks so much for giving it a try. Really looking good! You're the man

Receivers, sure. But barrels? I don't think so!

 

[custom-classic]

Slowly but surely.....

Actually you're correct in that a lot of the receivers especially in AR style rifles are using 7075... Strong, lightweight... Not really appropriate for barrels at the higher velocities and higher pressures. 7075 is used for barrels in smaller calibers with lower pressures. Beyer Barrels - 10/22 Barrels

They cheat by using a "Chromalloy steel liner".

This is true

 

[Nautilusfan]

Another reason for 7075 popularity in receivers is it's corrosion resistance in high humidity environments. Sorry for the derail CC. Let's see how those holes are progressing in the mods

HRH is very happy with it. She is picky with her mods (who isn't right?) and only uses her Dibi, Red Sky Cruisers and now this.

The button press on it is ideal, it's small enough for her hands and heavy enough to cause anyone concussion! She says to say 'thanks', CC, so thanks indeed.

Hey, Trunk!

Tell Smurf that it was my pleasure.



I'm glad she likes it! Thanks for the pics!!!

Beautiful @supertrunker! I have the twin aluminium one on it's way now!
