I am a very accomplished machinist, (many shops, now own my own business), with several manufacturing degrees, and getting into airguns lately, I was thinking the rifling process, which I have never seen before, was a cutting process, but it is more like a burnishing/forming process. I never knew the button existed. I would have thought it would take a lot more pressure to push the button through. You can learn something every day and the day you think you know it all is the day you have a lot to learn. :)
Congrats and good luck with your business! There are actually 5 different ways to do rifling: Button, broach, hammer forge, single-point cut, and ECM. Button is the fastest and easiest and requires the least amount of up-front equipment costs.
@@markserbu crappy one could be fixed on a basic lathe as long as the hole was straight (even if angled) and steel blank was oversized compared to what is needed. Then just resquare the face and weld on the feed lip ramp or bolt it next to one.
To EarthSurferUsa. Great idea for air gun to make it effective is the idea from the movie Cyborg with Jean Claude Van Damme where a paint ball gun with 20 to 24 ounce tank is converted into a manual revolver with either 4, 5 or 6 steel tube barrels and 3 indexed steel disc. The front end of paint ball gun resembles a Gatling Gun style look with choosing a 12 inch to 18 inch length of steel tube barrels to assemble all together with welding process to the 3 steel disc. For modified bullets you can make them out of 12L14 free machining steel. Taper the front end to a nice point of your choice of degree taper. Then keep the front of modified bullet solid while the back of bullet will be hollowed out for the air to project it from the barrels. Imagine the psi pushing out those 12L14 steel bullets from those paint ball gun tanks compared to those small Co2 that you put in a pellet gun. Then you can test that baby out on some pine wood slabs and fire away and enjoy. 😁
@WrathMachine no mate rifling they used to pre drill then rifle it but the American's came over and said put the rifling bit straight through. Thanks for putting my late grandfather down he also used to make gearboxes owned his own company that made us well off, each to there own.
@WrathMachine what ever mate your technical manuals must be different, we used to have barrels kicking around but they are gone now, so I guess I have to take your word for it.
@WrathMachine gee he lived to 90 and died 10 years ago my father said as a kid he played with a non working owen that was rejected, maybe it had rifling when it shouldn't have anyway who makes a subbie without rifling I haven't found any information to prove your accusations, a name of a book would be handy but he made 500 barrels a month on a lathe. A 9mm without rifling who would have thought.
@@FourSeasonsHD that's a process called "turning between centers". You are correct, that would true the outer diameter to the inner diameter. Afterwards you would have to face both ends though because they would be running out
sir , if u call this crappy u r underestimatin ur effort , it willl definetly deliver bulllets to their targets , you have given a glimpse , we in third world appreciate u r understanding and application, it is very genuine and of higher order.
Thank you. Perspective makes a big difference, doesn't it? Here in the U.S. we can just buy barrels but in much of the world they're very hard to come by!
Take out 2 opposing screws from your vice jaws to get that pocket you were talking about. For that button, put a socket on the end with the square end against the barrel and press the button into the socket to get it the rest of the way out. This was a cool video. I like your style because you know better and you explain that and what's the right way and what works. Looking forward to learning how to make my own rifling button.
That was just great. I like how you compared the “Southern Engineering” method to having precision machines. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your hard-won skills.
Thank you Mark. I'm looking forward to the next installment(s). The idea of making a rifling button for yourself from (relatively) commonly available materials sounds very interesting. Machining and those types of processes have fascinated me since I was a kid, and yes, my Jr. High school and High School both had "real" shop classes where we used real industrial machinery. In Grade 7 we were turning, boring, threading, knurling, milling and (using a shaper) flattening real metal parts. I feel very sorry for kids in school today - wrapping them in cotton wool does them no favours.
I love how Mr Serbu seems cynical of the shit you have to go through to make stuff if lacking in resources, but at the same time, talk about how theres a lot of possibilities. "You can just do this holding in one hand and filing with one hand". This man, true engineer.
Im a mech engineer, formerly a cnc machinest, iron worker, classic euro car performance shop do-it-all,the literal real life macguyver. and according to my s.o. the fixer of all things. I do it well. Very very well. I waited all the way through to comment here. This was a great example of how this works. I see a bunch of comments saying they are a machinest etc blah blah. Also a firearm enthusiast. Most everything in the safe was built by yours truly. Lotta people haven't seen this ever let alone have a rifling button. Here fellas. This is concept and explanation. Would I ever fire that? Hard nope. This is a GREAT illustration of the concept and an illustrative example of how rifling (mostly) works. At the end of this, mark has accomplished many things we have not. Harbor freight is my jam. Prominent media personalities showcased Cars I built using quite a few HF tools🤣 knowing what your doing cannot be replaced by tools a home mortgage is equal to to fill a single toolbox. (To an extent) this shows you. Yes, it's possible. Not ideal unless your the kind of person with hundreds of thousands of dollars of high level machinery. If you know what your doing, BET your ass this can work🤣 I love it Mark. Diy, basic and cheap tools Because that's what everyone realistically is going to be working with. It's a gem buddy I love doing more with less
After watching the video of the BFG-50A on Forgotten Weapons, then seeing this, it gives a great perspective of what you must have gone through to create it. Thanks for showing this process!
Lathe works the best....been there done this......aaannnd CNC's rock...you can make these for your friends and family. Pass em out at Christmas and family reunions.
In my experience, to drill a hole through the center of round material, I put the drill bit in the vice on the drill press and the material to be drilled in the chuck on the drill itself, it will drill the hole dead center every time, no special tools, lathe, etc, just go slowly an flush with lubrication and voila! A perfect, centered hole in your round stock, with the right chuck on your drill press, you can drill octagon or hex stock just the same, hope this makes sense, it works like a charm, db
Health and safety must be having a fit watching this! BUT WHAT A GREAT VIDEO and it's a good reminder to all of us about ..the things we all do wrong in the workshop
Watched to see your process for rifling. (15 years in aerospace, and theres always something to learn, thank you for the video, I don't think I am sharing anything you don't know, but I think this would be useful for the average viewer) A few tips I have picked up. Reaming with hand tools works better then tightly constrained, more flex in your tool holding set up the better so it can guide itself to the average and the less it binds, but you do need to use a reamer made for hand tools to fully utilize this, and make sure you have at least .005 (inch) to remove, and not more then .007 ~ish per inch on hole diameter. And of course ypu need to use the guiding brushing thay goes in the little hole in the end, they are sold separately. In my experience, always refer to the machinist bible, don't trust a random commenter experience haha. I have used this principle to fix holes that where undersized on 1/4 million dollar jigs, saved the entire assembly after it was welded and too big to fit in our football field sized milling machine. I got a raise for my efforts so I am more then happy with my results. They where within +/-.0001 and the tolorance was -.0002 +.0001. Takes practice to get excellent results, if I had not been the general purpose "fixer" in the shop thanks to my hand techniques and flexibility I would not have pulled that off, but I think a garage shop could figure it out with a dozen or so practice holes. Some tips for getting a through hole centered and straight, drill out with an undersized drill first. Drill from both sides first, and dwell when your at the bottom, size up through three drill bits if you can but use at least two. Only the first needs to be drilled from both sides. Again, it was really awesome to learn from your experience in rifling, I will utilize it well, I am surprised that buttons do not require a twisting punch to push through, that was cool to see, I would like to know if you have tested for drunken twist?
Half of me is like "YAH! you can do anything and don't have to have expensive tools!" and the other perfectionist half is like "WTF are you doing?????" lol
To get a perfectly centered hole you need to spin both the part and drill bit...although your method of doing this in a home shop with limited tools is very good. Nice job
This operation is typically done on a metal lathe where the workpiece is chucked in the headstock and rotated against a stationary bit chucked in the tailstock; only one part, tool or work, needs to rotate.
fun fact: those agressive tooth'ed pads on a vise are held on with screws because they're made to be reversible. there is a toothed side, and the other side is smooth for when you don't want to put a texture on your workpiece.
I thought the same thing until I tried it a couple weeks ago. The holes on the other side aren't countersunk for the screw heads. ..and I had to use my impact driver to bust them loose.
Not quite, but close. You can countersink the reverse side if you want, or buy a set of soft jaws for a few dollars. Personally I think buying (or making) the soft jaws so cheaper since your about to ruin a counter sink if you choose to make reversible jaws
I am from Scotland in the UK. We have a saying here. "Rough as a bear's arse". I would guess that you'll understand, but as long as it keeps the bad chaps away, please continue.
@@pir869 I was inferring bear/badger who cares, all arses are pretty rough if you think about it... (probably came over a bit different mind, I'm not good at wording shit)
I’m watching this video after a few beers. Enjoying it, didn’t catch who made the video. About 3/4 of the way through I’m thinking to myself, this guys voice sounds very familiar. Then I think this guys sure sounds a lot like Serbu. Then I check who makes it. Lol. He’s a one of a kind. Good stuff
That sort of seems like the center of the stock. (bunch of scribbles that don't come to anything resembling a point) Good enough, whatevah. It don't mattah, none a dis mattahs.
On this particular part, the OD will be turned while it's held between centers. That means the location of the hole doesn't matter a bit, as long as it's not so far off that the OD won't clean up.
Thank you for this work that inspires. In order to enter easily (like the first cm) it must be made to return the reamer regularly and clean the seat. It's like tapping.
Glad to know it’s possible to do it on a budget, I’ve wanted to make a .22 break action pistol out of some railroad spikes I have but rifling was keeping me from it. Now that that’s not holding me back and I have access to a lathe and mill I can probably have the whole thing finished in a few months.
honestly love this, just brute forcing everything with the cheapest tools possible. though crude, its very good information. more entertaining than watching a cnc machine spit out parts in 5 minutes.
Really interesting to see the bare minimum approach. The quiet metal playing throughout in the background is a nice touch too, that's what my shop would sound like.
This video is so awesome! Thank you for doing it the "quick and dirty" way of doing it, because you proved that you can Macgyver a gun out of nothing to protect yourself from the ever present criminal element that's out there ! Thank you again, sir. You got a viewer from now on !
One thing not mentioned - after the button is pushed through there are very high hoop stresses in the material. The material needs to be stress relieved before machining. Also important is the material properties, ie: hardness. Typically barrel material is between 28 and 32 Rockwell C when drilled, reamed and rifled. Then it needs stress relieving before machining. Materials of lesser strength will not stand up to anything much over .22LR.
Sounds like 4140 pre-hard, or, perhaps “ETD-150” - a free-machining flavor of the same… (Just got done turning stub-axles of the same for a bike trailer. Pressed and pinned into an .058 thick tube of 3/4 4130 tubing…)
Stainless is a fairly common rifle barrel material does it fall in this range? I've got 6-8' of 1.5-2" stainless I was thinking about using to make a barrel. Might have some other stuff as well not sure. Bought a bunch of metal a couple years ago and have been working on figuring out how to get it home since. I just finished rebuilding the engine on a rough terrain forklift that I'm planning on using. I know one pies as 6-8" in diameter and at least 6' long and there is are other pieces like that hence the forklift. It's all in behind a guy's house and it's soft back there as well and he doesn't want his yard torn up which is why it has taken so long, think it's between 3-4 tons in total.
As a fledgling machinist this video was absolutely hilarious; the idea of defying every traditional do and don't. What REALLY got me was the "dog wiener buckling tendency" @ 17:57 in the video. Hahahahaha.
I did one barrel here in australia(supid gun laws)i spent 8 hours driving a 9mm button down a stainless barrel with a hammer n rod It worked perfectly It was a 500mm barrel
A guy was done last year in Western Australia for making barrels (and the rest of various sub machine guns). The judge accepted it was a case of collectors curiosity but warned that it was very serious and wouldn’t be tolerated again, then let him off but now that his zero tolerance stance has been noted in the judgement I don’t think anyone else will be so lucky
Looking forward to the rifling button video. I just finished putting the GB-22 drawings into my cad/cam software. Material arrived yesterday so my build will commence as soon as a machine opens up.
You can get thinner cut off wheels for your cutoff tool. I worked in the Plastics injection molding industry for 21 years and Still have a few ejector pins never bought any though. The really thin ones can be ground to a fine point and used like a needle. You can also make firing pins with them. Over the years I built a few barrels without rifling for .22 blank perimeter alarms. Used the ejector pins as the firing pin. I would cut a small groove in ejector pin on the lathe to hold my clip, and then turn down part of the head of the pin and make the firing tip. That way I could insert a spring in the tube and then my ejector pin. I would make a screw on tip that the blank would fit in and threaded up into the tube. Had quite a bit of fun with them. Mine wasn't fancy or anything ,but were useful. And the blanks I used were actually store bought for a nail gun.
It's fun. That's why we do things like this ☺️. I've made cross bow's,black powder pistols, black powder dubbel barrel shot gun, band saw saw mill powered with a twin cyl snow mobile motor.lotsa wood stoves. Far too many things to mention. I don't know why other than It's fun. 😊 Good video,never seen a rifling tool like that.thanks for your time
Holy crap. Rifling a gun barrel on your own. I realize it’s harder than it looks but it can be done is what you’ve shown. I’m just smiling and scratching my head. Thanks for passing on this knowledge. Seriously
Why not simply by different sizes of barrel liners? They're made to re-do a worn-out barrel, . . . Ream the barrel; heat the barrel; chill the liner; and slip it in, . . . or, for no heat, ream close, and red Loctite, . . .
Maybe someone already said, but what I do for a better "center drill", i use the method of I need to remove a broken off fastener down in a hole. But still a hole in a block of wood near the same outer diameter of the would be barrel. Drill with a press, then lower the drilled block. Place would be barrel in hole, hold with vise grips or whatever you choose, the drilled holes in the block will hold the barrel in alignment. While holding the barrel with grips, drill the smaller home in the barrel. That will give you a MUCH better aligned hole.
Europeans: If we regulate all the pressurized parts, people won't be able to make their own firearms. Americans: watch me rifle a barrel on this $30 vise I got from home depot.
Thanks, appreciate your effort I know you didn't expect to hear this but good job Your effort showed all of the different complications. That one comes in to when you're trying to do it at Hawk by hand❤😊 Keep up the good videos. Thank you for showing people that this is doable, but not exactly easy🙂👍
I was a machinist, not a button pusher, lol, but I am very impressed with all of your machining in tradecraft. And I’ve never put rifling in a barrel. I’ve done just about everything else, but I’ve always wondered without a rifling tool or one that I have seen how it’s done. I’m still wondering how you got a twist I may have missed some thing in the video. I have been wanting to make my own barrels for quite a while. Thanks for taking the time to do it and spread the knowledge of how to make firearms. It’s important that people know how to make them in case we are ever called upon a time of need to make some to defend ourselves and I hope we never come to that. Thank you.
Luke Ethan: What future is waiting for America, pls read the book WORLD WAR III by Charles Taylor... The great 3. chapter of Americas history, as revealed to Gen. George Washington in December,1776... The FIRST (1st) CHAPTER = it was fulfilled already: Its the American War of Independence against the British colonizer- America become an independent Republic Nation on 04 July, 1777- ex. pres George Washington was its first President... The SECOND (2nd) CHAPTER = was the American Civil War, fulfilled in year 1861-1865 during the reign of then ex. pres. Abraham Lincoln... Its a subtle religious war, the northern mostly evangelical christian vs. southern mostly catholic group- openly supported by the cabals of Rome... They were defeated by the northern American group- and formally surrendered in Holy Friday of April, 1865- almost 1. million casualties was the war toll... The SPARK which started the bloody war was the Afro. American SLAVERY ISSUE- around 5. million in total strength, mostly farm workers in Southern States of America... By virtue of Pres. A. Lincoln "Proclamation of Emancipation Acts" - the subject Afro slave were freed AUTOMATICALLY from their state of being a slave workers!.. The THIRD (3rd) CHAPTER= its not yet fulfilled, in a vision, the Statue of Liberty inhaled a RED COLOR mist or vapor- then the said Statue suddenly shows a violent coughing, slowly bending its knee, but not collapsing flat- then its head- neck area was submerged in almost knee. deep, shallow water... After a while, the same Statue raised. up its submerged head and stand. up slowly!.. The COLOR RED was the traditional COLOR of the COMMUNIST- due to the flag color of then Russian communist state.. Russia become communist controlled from October,1917 to year 1991.. Thus, the RED COLOR mist/ vapor indicate a communist inspired attacked against America- using a poison gas armed weaponries... By the thousands cell group of highly trained terrorist, saboteurs were secretly hibernating in the midst of America, an invicible TROJAN HORSE- just waiting for a coded signal since the 60's decade- to destroy America from within by sabotaged acts, thereby spreading panic, anarchy and hopelessness among the American population... Based on the vision shown by the Holy Spirit in year 1958 to a pastor-it seems that poison gas armed missiles, submarine launched- was successfully used against Americas defense system!.. The streets were packed with sprawled peoples, vomitting in blood, with hundreds of peoples in panic, running on top of such sprawled, dying victims- the sound of air raid siren was clearly heard in the background!.. Some peoples were able to reached their house, but also collapsed vomitting in blood- as they entered their houseyard!... In the ground front, the sound of fierce ground fighting was evident, the noise of volume of firearms burst can be heard- like the explosion sound during the night before New Years celebration... The ground was shaking due the rampant deafening explosion- as the fierce ground fighting continue!...Its implied in the ground fighting scenario, that the 300. hundred million plus private guns, in the hands of American civilians- were doing a valiant & heroic defensive acts- against the ARC ENEMY OF DEMOCRACY!!... In the sea aspect, hundreds or thousands of warships were poised toward the American shores- ready to execute a massive seashore naval invasion- like a duplicate of Normandy Beach landing in France- during WW.2 scenario... The conspiracy group which will destroy America: communist blocks, catholic legionaires, muslim crowds, others- have you noticed the influx of fleeing immigrants (?) from muslim nations?... They were mostly settled to stay in protestant evangelical nations... Accordingly, WW.3 was designed for the destruction of protestant evangelical nations, like: America, Canda, Western Europe (from Germany, westward going to England, then north of Germany; Australia & New Zealand, etc.. Tested defensive solution: a) All immigrants should be relocated in isolated area, section of every nation, in quarantine, sorrounded by temporary barbed wire- wire fence tandem theyll be given with computerized I.D... b) Tent housing, toilet/ bathroom facilities will be provided per family... c) Food cooking equipments, accessories will be also provided.. d) Group picture for family occupying a house/tent will be STRICTLY ENFORCED- no excess occupants allowed, as proven by his absence in the family picture!.. e) Travel pass/ permit= will be required to those who will be allowed to leaved the QUARANTINE AREA... The said Travel Pass basic info: destination (its complete adress, will be reminded that on such SPECIFIC SITE ONLY - will be the scope of the issued Travel Pass- they cannot roamed around!.), purpose for travel, expiration TIME & DATE of the ISSUED Travel Pass/ Petmit.. Thus, when the said Pass become expired, and double check system confirmed that the same Travel Pass holder was not yet returned to their Quarantine Home- a WANTED ALARM will be raised up on ALL CHECK POINT nationwide... f) National I.D. System= must be required on ALL nation citizens, for easy monitoring of nation citizens vs. the immigrants group... g) Cluster leader= one (1) Leader per 3. families will be appointed by police or military authority..All family members under of such Cluster Leader- they must informed their Cluster Leader about their NEW LOCATION- when they leave or about to LEAVE their PRESENT LOCATION... h) Check Point at Community Level= The entire Community Area of the nation will be saturated with "check.point" system- so no one will be able to leave their COMMUNITY AREA without the required TRAVEL PASS/ PERMIT... h.1) Every able body community residents, from 10.yrs old- 70.yrs old, will be required to render a 3. hours Check Point Duty in his assigned post... h.2) Each Community family must be allowed to ARMED THEMSELVES for self protection... Also, the Community Governt must produced their own: Security computer system, CCTV system, hi. tech night scopes, 2.way radio, body armor, helmet, combat shoes, guard house, etc... h.3) By methodical "Community Distribution System" , all security instruments, accessories, gadgets, etc -will be gradually produced one by one, due to the accumulated fund... In the Bible, God was COMMANDING ALL CIVILIAN PEOPLES "worldwide" to ARMED THEMSEMVES (Joel 3:9- 21)... A satanic, very wicked form of leader will be the president of the plan communistic governt worldwide.. Only ONE FORM of governt will be implemented in the WHOLE WORLD- all nations of the world will submit to ONE LEADER ONLY, all countries members of United Nations Organization will become a PROVINCE ONLY, all nation of the world become ONE NATION ONLY!!..The controll of ALL NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF THE WORLD- will be entrusted to such demon possessed LAST DAY DICTATOR!!.. The atrocities of Hitlers group was only 10%, compared to WICKEDNESS of the soon coming ONE WORLD DICTATOR!!.. The nation of Ukraine had shown to the whole world, an EYE OPENER EXAMPLE, that great DETERMINATION, WISDOM & UNITY can defeat a superpower (?) enemy... That proverbial David & Goliath battle can be also true today!.. Its well documented, the honey badger animals has 90% victory chance against a 1-on- 1 fight with the jungle king- the mighty and dreaded LION King...
I have watched probably tens of thousands of TH-cam videos and this is by far the best one the best edited one that I've ever seen! Extremely informational especially whenever you pull up the Harbor freight's and whatever other place you buy them from most guys simply don't say a damn thing is completely quiet which I think is hilarious. Great job dude
"....spin it between a couple of nails and grind it...." HAHAHA I just might have to actually try that one day to prove that it can be done, because the theory is sound.
Funny thing watching this when Mark is pushing the button through completely with the vice, say how things could shatter. All while holding it with his hand. *Then I notice all the scares on his fingers and knuckles. Telling me this man knows this could shatter from first hand experience!* Pun intended.🤣😂 Great job actually. Love the fact you show how an average Joe could accomplish this in his shop or basement. Thanks Mark!
Love these types of vids! Especially from someone who has the skills and machines you do. Salt of the earth regular guy stuff but still very informative. Keep it up!
If you ever get fired from a shop, and you want to get even, sick osha on them with complaints that you know are true violations, (and every shop has them). I wish I could have seen the look on the bosses faces when they found out it was me. They thought they hired an amateur and tried running me through their boot camp routine. I didn't take it, I got fired, and they got burned. :) Safety Sally? Before my time I guess, but sounds like your other Mother. That is government for you, treating grown adults, (who pay for their existence), like elementary kids, when they aren't adult/functional enough to make a dime in our free market. Is there a Safety Sally coloring book too?
@@EarthSurferUSA So you think people are smart enough to control their own safety but chose to call OSHA on a previous employer? After getting fired for knowing too much for their training? OSHA holds a pretty high seat on list of worthless pricks; You are higher on that list.
Mr Serbu your design, engineering and manufacturing expertise is beyond question, however if you're struggling, as you obviously are, with such an elementary project and with the bare minimum of the considerable equipment you have at your disposal, most of us neophytes would end up dangling from the nearest roof beams!
I hear ya, but the advantage that many of you would have is that you're probably not as much of a spaz as I am. Just some planning, taking your time and being patient goes a long way. I mean, how much knowledge and skill does one need to drill and ream a hole, then push something through the hole? I actually just ordered (ebay, made in China) a bunch of drill rod cut to various lengths. If I weren't a spaz, I would have done that in the first place or just cut my own segments of drill rod. I mean, a 36" length of 01 drill rod in the correct diameter costs under $5. For a barrel of that length I would have cut myself a 1", 2" and 3" piece. Done.

One reason the blank slipped in the 5C collet in the CNC is that the stock as unfinished surface on it, which may or may not be round and on size. 5C collets cam't hold anything that is on the positive side of the nominal size and only a few thou under. ER collets would fare better here, as they can collapse almost always to the next size down. Yes, very informative and loved the really "hands on" approach here. Lessens the amount of "but I don't have a file/drill/CNC/factory" crowd
Man, I absolutely love your style :-D This reminds me of the sketchier things I've done with the press. Would have been nice to see it rounded off with a pipe cap breech so you could bring things to a close by popping off a .22
One thing that helps center a shaft hole is to chuck the shaft in the drill chuck and hold the drill "bit" in the vise. I found myself holding the screen far away while you were pushing the ejector pin. I've used them as drive pin punches and they will shatter.
Get a $12 dial indicator and those telescoping clamps, I think that's what they're called. It's a couple of rods and some hardware that allows you to clamp the dial indicator to the spindle of your drill press and position it wherever you need, to check the squareness to the table in the two axis that you need to drill that hole strait. That cost about $20. You simply position the dial indicator perpendicular to the table and rotate the spindle, watching for where the needle moves. Look up "tramming a mill", this will show you what you need to know. Also, besides never reaming with a hand drill, you really shouldn't use a reamer to make a hole that small 5 thousandths bigger. That's too much. ... ... ...also, next time you use a vice to push a rifling button, at least put a flat piece of steel on the skinny side so you have a better chance of keeping it strait, those jaws look like they're hindering that. I've taken two tours now, of places that make high end barrels and they say that the biggest issue is keeping the button and rod as strait as possible. Well, theirs looks like the button & rod are one piece but the same rule applies. ...ha, I see you caught that towards the end, a flat piece of steal wouldn't be nothin to just add to the mix. ...waite you have a mill!?! what the hell are you doing, man? lol crazy bastard!
Short and sweet. But what about long barrel? Got Gun Drill machine? Nice shop you have there. I hope to expand into aluminum billet parts, and get a Haas or two also. BE A GOD OF ,MATERIAL GOODS!!! ")
No one, no where, EVER do anything he just did! I think hes an awesome guy, & I appreciate the work that has his name on it but not sure he should make you tube videos.
Just found this channel, this being the first video I've watched... Got here in the course of wondering if a .22 could be rebored to .27 and what could be done about the rifling. Hypothetically of course, such a thing would have no use in britain.
I bet you my cat could scratch it!! She's a pro and a beast when it comes to scratching!! She backed down a diamond in a scratching contest one time! I'm so proud of her!
Great teaching materials for people in countries where gun making and owning is forbidden by law, but needed something to defend themselves from the cruel government law. 🤔🤔🤔 Love this DIY instruction.
I honestly didn't know the Z axis had that much hydraulic pressure to be thousands of pounds. I should have known having run CNCs for 15 years. Thanks for the video. Rifling was the one thing that had me stumped. Not anymore!
Well, kind of. It's not hydraulic pressure it's force. And that force comes from a servo motor driving a ballscrew. On CNC machines they call it "axis thrust", and on that particular machine the Z axis can exert around 4,000 pounds of force. Obviously plenty for a .22 but not enough for 9mm. Glad you learned about rifling, thanks for watching!

@@markserbu crappy one could be fixed on a basic lathe as long as the hole was straight (even if angled) and steel blank was oversized compared to what is needed. Then just resquare the face and weld on the feed lip ramp or bolt it next to one.

To EarthSurferUsa. Great idea for air gun to make it effective is the idea from the movie Cyborg with Jean Claude Van Damme where a paint ball gun with 20 to 24 ounce tank is converted into a manual revolver with either 4, 5 or 6 steel tube barrels and 3 indexed steel disc. The front end of paint ball gun resembles a Gatling Gun style look with choosing a 12 inch to 18 inch length of steel tube barrels to assemble all together with welding process to the 3 steel disc. For modified bullets you can make them out of 12L14 free machining steel. Taper the front end to a nice point of your choice of degree taper. Then keep the front of modified bullet solid while the back of bullet will be hollowed out for the air to project it from the barrels. Imagine the psi pushing out those 12L14 steel bullets from those paint ball gun tanks compared to those small Co2 that you put in a pellet gun. Then you can test that baby out on some pine wood slabs and fire away and enjoy. 😁
I went from rc’s to airguns as well, most of your high end airguns use lother walther hammer forged barrels.
I started rifling my own barrel when I was 14... and you are right.... it is a rewarding experience.
Yup, all 10 fingers. (Or to be technical, 8 fingers and 2 thumbs.) You must have some amazing surgeons in that part of the world.

My grandfather used to make the barrels/ rifling for the Australian Owen gun in ww2. He then went on to make gear boxes, obviously loved precision.
Was he of German,Japanese or Croatian descent?!
@@maxluburic657 English/ Australian
@WrathMachine no mate rifling they used to pre drill then rifle it but the American's came over and said put the rifling bit straight through. Thanks for putting my late grandfather down he also used to make gearboxes owned his own company that made us well off, each to there own.
@WrathMachine what ever mate your technical manuals must be different, we used to have barrels kicking around but they are gone now, so I guess I have to take your word for it.
@WrathMachine gee he lived to 90 and died 10 years ago my father said as a kid he played with a non working owen that was rejected, maybe it had rifling when it shouldn't have anyway who makes a subbie without rifling I haven't found any information to prove your accusations, a name of a book would be handy but he made 500 barrels a month on a lathe. A 9mm without rifling who would have thought.
It makes me happy to see I'm not the only one that has a problem drilling straight holes :)...
I was thinking that lathing the work piece now using the hole ends as the new centers might probably right the whole thing.
@@FourSeasonsHD that's a process called "turning between centers". You are correct, that would true the outer diameter to the inner diameter. Afterwards you would have to face both ends though because they would be running out
I nearly always drill straight holes. Drilling them in the right direction, however, is another story
sir , if u call this crappy u r underestimatin ur effort , it willl definetly deliver bulllets to their targets , you have given a glimpse , we in third world appreciate u r understanding and application, it is very genuine and of higher order.
Thank you. Perspective makes a big difference, doesn't it? Here in the U.S. we can just buy barrels but in much of the world they're very hard to come by!
Take out 2 opposing screws from your vice jaws to get that pocket you were talking about.
For that button, put a socket on the end with the square end against the barrel and press the button into the socket to get it the rest of the way out.
This was a cool video. I like your style because you know better and you explain that and what's the right way and what works. Looking forward to learning how to make my own rifling button.
That was just great. I like how you compared the “Southern Engineering” method to having precision machines. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your hard-won skills.
Thank you Mark. I'm looking forward to the next installment(s). The idea of making a rifling button for yourself from (relatively) commonly available materials sounds very interesting. Machining and those types of processes have fascinated me since I was a kid, and yes, my Jr. High school and High School both had "real" shop classes where we used real industrial machinery. In Grade 7 we were turning, boring, threading, knurling, milling and (using a shaper) flattening real metal parts. I feel very sorry for kids in school today - wrapping them in cotton wool does them no favours.
That would be fun asf, if I had an option like that I'd probably want to go to school ... :\
the Idahoan, makes rifled pistol barrels with a press and home made bit. He didn't fire and quench it, but it worked fine
I feel like, ...like, you're sending microagressions. To anyone whom it may hurt. Yeah.✨🤣🤸
If he didn't do that the barrel will wear out really quick due to it not being hardened.
I love how Mr Serbu seems cynical of the shit you have to go through to make stuff if lacking in resources, but at the same time, talk about how theres a lot of possibilities. "You can just do this holding in one hand and filing with one hand". This man, true engineer.
Im a mech engineer, formerly a cnc machinest, iron worker, classic euro car performance shop do-it-all,the literal real life macguyver. and according to my s.o. the fixer of all things. I do it well. Very very well. I waited all the way through to comment here. This was a great example of how this works. I see a bunch of comments saying they are a machinest etc blah blah. Also a firearm enthusiast. Most everything in the safe was built by yours truly. Lotta people haven't seen this ever let alone have a rifling button. Here fellas. This is concept and explanation. Would I ever fire that? Hard nope. This is a GREAT illustration of the concept and an illustrative example of how rifling (mostly) works. At the end of this, mark has accomplished many things we have not. Harbor freight is my jam. Prominent media personalities showcased Cars I built using quite a few HF tools🤣 knowing what your doing cannot be replaced by tools a home mortgage is equal to to fill a single toolbox. (To an extent) this shows you. Yes, it's possible. Not ideal unless your the kind of person with hundreds of thousands of dollars of high level machinery. If you know what your doing, BET your ass this can work🤣 I love it Mark. Diy, basic and cheap tools Because that's what everyone realistically is going to be working with. It's a gem buddy I love doing more with less
Great that you showed the failings and problems that you ran into along the way.
Thanks for this.
I was already giving up on making my own black powder gun, but watching your video I think I can. Thanks.
After watching the video of the BFG-50A on Forgotten Weapons, then seeing this, it gives a great perspective of what you must have gone through to create it. Thanks for showing this process!
I watched the bfg 20 year history today then this popped up
Very encouraging! Thanks Serbu. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for breaking it down! Bringing the power to the people
Lathe works the best....been there done this......aaannnd CNC's rock...you can make these for your friends and family. Pass em out at Christmas and family reunions.
In my experience, to drill a hole through the center of round material, I put the drill bit in the vice on the drill press and the material to be drilled in the chuck on the drill itself, it will drill the hole dead center every time, no special tools, lathe, etc, just go slowly an flush with lubrication and voila! A perfect, centered hole in your round stock, with the right chuck on your drill press, you can drill octagon or hex stock just the same, hope this makes sense, it works like a charm, db
Health and safety must be having a fit watching this! BUT WHAT A GREAT VIDEO and it's a good reminder to all of us about ..the things we all do wrong in the workshop
Ream it after you drill it, while it’s still on the drill press locked in the vice. Cutting oil really helps 😊
Lol
👏👏
Watched to see your process for rifling.
(15 years in aerospace, and theres always something to learn, thank you for the video, I don't think I am sharing anything you don't know, but I think this would be useful for the average viewer)
A few tips I have picked up.
Reaming with hand tools works better then tightly constrained, more flex in your tool holding set up the better so it can guide itself to the average and the less it binds, but you do need to use a reamer made for hand tools to fully utilize this, and make sure you have at least .005 (inch) to remove, and not more then .007 ~ish per inch on hole diameter. And of course ypu need to use the guiding brushing thay goes in the little hole in the end, they are sold separately. In my experience, always refer to the machinist bible, don't trust a random commenter experience haha.
I have used this principle to fix holes that where undersized on 1/4 million dollar jigs, saved the entire assembly after it was welded and too big to fit in our football field sized milling machine.
I got a raise for my efforts so I am more then happy with my results. They where within +/-.0001 and the tolorance was -.0002 +.0001.
Takes practice to get excellent results, if I had not been the general purpose "fixer" in the shop thanks to my hand techniques and flexibility I would not have pulled that off, but I think a garage shop could figure it out with a dozen or so practice holes.
Some tips for getting a through hole centered and straight, drill out with an undersized drill first. Drill from both sides first, and dwell when your at the bottom, size up through three drill bits if you can but use at least two. Only the first needs to be drilled from both sides.
Again, it was really awesome to learn from your experience in rifling, I will utilize it well, I am surprised that buttons do not require a twisting punch to push through, that was cool to see, I would like to know if you have tested for drunken twist?
This guy is awesome. This is called thinking outside the box and it's very inspirational for educational purposes. Thanks
Half of me is like "YAH! you can do anything and don't have to have expensive tools!" and the other perfectionist half is like "WTF are you doing?????" lol
If I didn’t know who Mark Serbu is, this video wouldn’t be nearly as fascinating.
I'm so glad to see that this step is simpler than I have been making it. Now if I can just make a rifling button that won't deform in the blank...
To get a perfectly centered hole you need to spin both the part and drill bit...although your method of doing this in a home shop with limited tools is very good. Nice job
This operation is typically done on a metal lathe where the workpiece is chucked in the headstock and rotated against a stationary bit chucked in the tailstock; only one part, tool or work, needs to rotate.
fun fact: those agressive tooth'ed pads on a vise are held on with screws because they're made to be reversible. there is a toothed side, and the other side is smooth for when you don't want to put a texture on your workpiece.
I thought the same thing until I tried it a couple weeks ago. The holes on the other side aren't countersunk for the screw heads. ..and I had to use my impact driver to bust them loose.
Not quite, but close. You can countersink the reverse side if you want, or buy a set of soft jaws for a few dollars. Personally I think buying (or making) the soft jaws so cheaper since your about to ruin a counter sink if you choose to make reversible jaws

😂Always comes down to a hammer... and beating on it!! My skill set.
I’m watching this video after a few beers. Enjoying it, didn’t catch who made the video. About 3/4 of the way through I’m thinking to myself, this guys voice sounds very familiar. Then I think this guys sure sounds a lot like Serbu. Then I check who makes it. Lol. He’s a one of a kind. Good stuff
You build some awesome guns but everything about this video is sketchy as shit. Which means I can for sure do it at home!
bucketsof lead Ata boy! Love that spirit!
That sort of seems like the center of the stock. (bunch of scribbles that don't come to anything resembling a point) Good enough, whatevah. It don't mattah, none a dis mattahs.
@@HaqqAttak the center is the area that appears in the middle of all the marks.
Machining is usually a little more precise than that squid.
On this particular part, the OD will be turned while it's held between centers. That means the location of the hole doesn't matter a bit, as long as it's not so far off that the OD won't clean up.
Thank you for this work that inspires. In order to enter easily (like the first cm) it must be made to return the reamer regularly and clean the seat. It's like tapping.
Glad to know it’s possible to do it on a budget, I’ve wanted to make a .22 break action pistol out of some railroad spikes I have but rifling was keeping me from it. Now that that’s not holding me back and I have access to a lathe and mill I can probably have the whole thing finished in a few months.
I just found this video and man, I hope your Safety Squints were in "angle grinder" mode for this project!
Loved it.
honestly love this, just brute forcing everything with the cheapest tools possible. though crude, its very good information. more entertaining than watching a cnc machine spit out parts in 5 minutes.

One thing not mentioned - after the button is pushed through there are very high hoop stresses in the material. The material needs to be stress relieved before machining. Also important is the material properties, ie: hardness. Typically barrel material is between 28 and 32 Rockwell C when drilled, reamed and rifled. Then it needs stress relieving before machining. Materials of lesser strength will not stand up to anything much over .22LR.
Sounds like 4140 pre-hard, or, perhaps “ETD-150” - a free-machining flavor of the same…
(Just got done turning stub-axles of the same for a bike trailer. Pressed and pinned into an .058 thick tube of 3/4 4130 tubing…)
Stainless is a fairly common rifle barrel material does it fall in this range? I've got 6-8' of 1.5-2" stainless I was thinking about using to make a barrel. Might have some other stuff as well not sure. Bought a bunch of metal a couple years ago and have been working on figuring out how to get it home since. I just finished rebuilding the engine on a rough terrain forklift that I'm planning on using. I know one pies as 6-8" in diameter and at least 6' long and there is are other pieces like that hence the forklift. It's all in behind a guy's house and it's soft back there as well and he doesn't want his yard torn up which is why it has taken so long, think it's between 3-4 tons in total.
Now you gotta do home shop headspacing. Ha goodluck! ;)
Just awesome someone has taken the time to show home builders how to do so.

I did one barrel here in australia(supid gun laws)i spent 8 hours driving a 9mm button down a stainless barrel with a hammer n rod
It worked perfectly
It was a 500mm barrel
A guy was done last year in Western Australia for making barrels (and the rest of various sub machine guns). The judge accepted it was a case of collectors curiosity but warned that it was very serious and wouldn’t be tolerated again, then let him off but now that his zero tolerance stance has been noted in the judgement I don’t think anyone else will be so lucky
Looking forward to the rifling button video. I just finished putting the GB-22 drawings into my cad/cam software. Material arrived yesterday so my build will commence as soon as a machine opens up.
You can get thinner cut off wheels for your cutoff tool. I worked in the Plastics injection molding industry for 21 years and Still have a few ejector pins never bought any though. The really thin ones can be ground to a fine point and used like a needle. You can also make firing pins with them. Over the years I built a few barrels without rifling for .22 blank perimeter alarms. Used the ejector pins as the firing pin. I would cut a small groove in ejector pin on the lathe to hold my clip, and then turn down part of the head of the pin and make the firing tip. That way I could insert a spring in the tube and then my ejector pin. I would make a screw on tip that the blank would fit in and threaded up into the tube. Had quite a bit of fun with them. Mine wasn't fancy or anything ,but were useful. And the blanks I used were actually store bought for a nail gun.
Watching stuff like this, gets the gears moving in my head.....this caint end well...lol. thanx Mark love the vid
Hope ya all fared well thru Irma
It's fun. That's why we do things like this ☺️. I've made cross bow's,black powder pistols, black powder dubbel barrel shot gun, band saw saw mill powered with a twin cyl snow mobile motor.lotsa wood stoves. Far too many things to mention. I don't know why other than It's fun. 😊 Good video,never seen a rifling tool like that.thanks for your time
Holy crap. Rifling a gun barrel on your own. I realize it’s harder than it looks but it can be done is what you’ve shown. I’m just smiling and scratching my head. Thanks for passing on this knowledge. Seriously
Why not simply by different sizes of barrel liners? They're made to re-do a worn-out barrel, . . . Ream the barrel; heat the barrel; chill the liner; and slip it in, . . . or, for no heat, ream close, and red Loctite, . . .
Maybe someone already said, but what I do for a better "center drill", i use the method of I need to remove a broken off fastener down in a hole. But still a hole in a block of wood near the same outer diameter of the would be barrel. Drill with a press, then lower the drilled block. Place would be barrel in hole, hold with vise grips or whatever you choose, the drilled holes in the block will hold the barrel in alignment. While holding the barrel with grips, drill the smaller home in the barrel. That will give you a MUCH better aligned hole.
Europeans: If we regulate all the pressurized parts, people won't be able to make their own firearms. Americans: watch me rifle a barrel on this $30 vise I got from home depot.
Thanks Mark. Now I’m ready to make my own RN50...

I was a machinist, not a button pusher, lol, but I am very impressed with all of your machining in tradecraft. And I’ve never put rifling in a barrel. I’ve done just about everything else, but I’ve always wondered without a rifling tool or one that I have seen how it’s done. I’m still wondering how you got a twist I may have missed some thing in the video. I have been wanting to make my own barrels for quite a while.
Thanks for taking the time to do it and spread the knowledge of how to make firearms. It’s important that people know how to make them in case we are ever called upon a time of need to make some to defend ourselves and I hope we never come to that. Thank you.
Luke Ethan: What future is waiting for America, pls read the book WORLD WAR III by Charles Taylor... The great 3. chapter of Americas history, as revealed to Gen. George Washington in December,1776... The FIRST (1st) CHAPTER = it was fulfilled already: Its the American War of Independence against the British colonizer- America become an independent Republic Nation on 04 July, 1777- ex. pres George Washington was its first President...
The SECOND (2nd) CHAPTER = was the American Civil War, fulfilled in year 1861-1865 during the reign of then ex. pres. Abraham Lincoln... Its a subtle religious war, the northern mostly evangelical christian vs. southern mostly catholic group- openly supported by the cabals of Rome... They were defeated by the northern American group- and formally surrendered in Holy Friday of April, 1865- almost 1. million casualties was the war toll... The SPARK which started the bloody war was the Afro. American SLAVERY ISSUE- around 5. million in total strength, mostly farm workers in Southern States of America... By virtue of Pres. A. Lincoln "Proclamation of Emancipation Acts" - the subject Afro slave were freed AUTOMATICALLY from their state of being a slave workers!..
The THIRD (3rd) CHAPTER= its not yet fulfilled, in a vision, the Statue of Liberty inhaled a RED COLOR mist or vapor- then the said Statue suddenly shows a violent coughing, slowly bending its knee, but not collapsing flat- then its head- neck area was submerged in almost knee. deep, shallow water... After a while, the same Statue raised. up its submerged head and stand. up slowly!.. The COLOR RED was the traditional COLOR of the COMMUNIST- due to the flag color of then Russian communist state.. Russia become communist controlled from October,1917 to year 1991.. Thus, the RED COLOR mist/ vapor indicate a communist inspired attacked against America- using a poison gas armed weaponries... By the thousands cell group of highly trained terrorist, saboteurs were secretly hibernating in the midst of America, an invicible TROJAN HORSE- just waiting for a coded signal since the 60's decade- to destroy America from within by sabotaged acts, thereby spreading panic, anarchy and hopelessness among the American population... Based on the vision shown by the Holy Spirit in year 1958 to a pastor-it seems that poison gas armed missiles, submarine launched- was successfully used against Americas defense system!.. The streets were packed with sprawled peoples, vomitting in blood, with hundreds of peoples in panic, running on top of such sprawled, dying victims- the sound of air raid siren was clearly heard in the background!.. Some peoples were able to reached their house, but also collapsed vomitting in blood- as they entered their houseyard!... In the ground front, the sound of fierce ground fighting was evident, the noise of volume of firearms burst can be heard- like the explosion sound during the night before New Years celebration... The ground was shaking due the rampant deafening explosion- as the fierce ground fighting continue!...Its implied in the ground fighting scenario, that the 300. hundred million plus private guns, in the hands of American civilians- were doing a valiant & heroic defensive acts- against the ARC ENEMY OF DEMOCRACY!!... In the sea aspect, hundreds or thousands of warships were poised toward the American shores- ready to execute a massive seashore naval invasion- like a duplicate of Normandy Beach landing in France- during WW.2 scenario... The conspiracy group which will destroy America: communist blocks, catholic legionaires, muslim crowds, others- have you noticed the influx of fleeing immigrants (?) from muslim nations?... They were mostly settled to stay in protestant evangelical nations... Accordingly, WW.3 was designed for the destruction of protestant evangelical nations, like: America, Canda, Western Europe (from Germany, westward going to England, then north of Germany; Australia & New Zealand, etc.. Tested defensive solution: a) All immigrants should be relocated in isolated area, section of every nation, in quarantine, sorrounded by temporary barbed wire- wire fence tandem theyll be given with computerized I.D... b) Tent housing, toilet/ bathroom facilities will be provided per family... c) Food cooking equipments, accessories will be also provided.. d) Group picture for family occupying a house/tent will be STRICTLY ENFORCED- no excess occupants allowed, as proven by his absence in the family picture!.. e) Travel pass/ permit= will be required to those who will be allowed to leaved the QUARANTINE AREA... The said Travel Pass basic info: destination (its complete adress, will be reminded that on such SPECIFIC SITE ONLY - will be the scope of the issued Travel Pass- they cannot roamed around!.), purpose for travel, expiration TIME & DATE of the ISSUED Travel Pass/ Petmit.. Thus, when the said Pass become expired, and double check system confirmed that the same Travel Pass holder was not yet returned to their Quarantine Home- a WANTED ALARM will be raised up on ALL CHECK POINT nationwide... f) National I.D. System= must be required on ALL nation citizens, for easy monitoring of nation citizens vs. the immigrants group... g) Cluster leader= one (1) Leader per 3. families will be appointed by police or military authority..All family members under of such Cluster Leader- they must informed their Cluster Leader about their NEW LOCATION- when they leave or about to LEAVE their PRESENT LOCATION... h) Check Point at Community Level= The entire Community Area of the nation will be saturated with "check.point" system- so no one will be able to leave their COMMUNITY AREA without the required TRAVEL PASS/ PERMIT... h.1) Every able body community residents, from 10.yrs old- 70.yrs old, will be required to render a 3. hours Check Point Duty in his assigned post... h.2) Each Community family must be allowed to ARMED THEMSELVES for self protection... Also, the Community Governt must produced their own: Security computer system, CCTV system, hi. tech night scopes, 2.way radio, body armor, helmet, combat shoes, guard house, etc... h.3) By methodical "Community Distribution System" , all security instruments, accessories, gadgets, etc -will be gradually produced one by one, due to the accumulated fund... In the Bible, God was COMMANDING ALL CIVILIAN PEOPLES "worldwide" to ARMED THEMSEMVES (Joel 3:9- 21)... A satanic, very wicked form of leader will be the president of the plan communistic governt worldwide.. Only ONE FORM of governt will be implemented in the WHOLE WORLD- all nations of the world will submit to ONE LEADER ONLY, all countries members of United Nations Organization will become a PROVINCE ONLY, all nation of the world become ONE NATION ONLY!!..The controll of ALL NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF THE WORLD- will be entrusted to such demon possessed LAST DAY DICTATOR!!.. The atrocities of Hitlers group was only 10%, compared to WICKEDNESS of the soon coming ONE WORLD DICTATOR!!.. The nation of Ukraine had shown to the whole world, an EYE OPENER EXAMPLE, that great DETERMINATION, WISDOM & UNITY can defeat a superpower (?) enemy... That proverbial David & Goliath battle can be also true today!.. Its well documented, the honey badger animals has 90% victory chance against a 1-on- 1 fight with the jungle king- the mighty and dreaded LION King...

Mr Serbu your design, engineering and manufacturing expertise is beyond question, however if you're struggling, as you obviously are, with such an elementary project and with the bare minimum of the considerable equipment you have at your disposal, most of us neophytes would end up dangling from the nearest roof beams!
I hear ya, but the advantage that many of you would have is that you're probably not as much of a spaz as I am. Just some planning, taking your time and being patient goes a long way. I mean, how much knowledge and skill does one need to drill and ream a hole, then push something through the hole? I actually just ordered (ebay, made in China) a bunch of drill rod cut to various lengths. If I weren't a spaz, I would have done that in the first place or just cut my own segments of drill rod. I mean, a 36" length of 01 drill rod in the correct diameter costs under $5. For a barrel of that length I would have cut myself a 1", 2" and 3" piece. Done.

One reason the blank slipped in the 5C collet in the CNC is that the stock as unfinished surface on it, which may or may not be round and on size. 5C collets cam't hold anything that is on the positive side of the nominal size and only a few thou under. ER collets would fare better here, as they can collapse almost always to the next size down.
Yes, very informative and loved the really "hands on" approach here. Lessens the amount of "but I don't have a file/drill/CNC/factory" crowd
Man, I absolutely love your style :-D This reminds me of the sketchier things I've done with the press. Would have been nice to see it rounded off with a pipe cap breech so you could bring things to a close by popping off a .22
Very cool info and video, for the beginners that don't have a clue of where the sun comes out
Hahaha "you got a dart in your neck" what!?" Your crazy man, I like you"
I love that your dial caliper is in the same working condition as mine. At least it works as a divider if you hold it JUST right.
They should teach this in schools.
they do ....
oh..
not government schools
One thing that helps center a shaft hole is to chuck the shaft in the drill chuck and hold the drill "bit" in the vise.
I found myself holding the screen far away while you were pushing the ejector pin. I've used them as drive pin punches and they will shatter.
" remember, never ream with a hand drill" *meanwhile continues to ream with a hand drill* lol great video 👍
Mark Serbu my favorite guy in the firearms industry to watch
Get a $12 dial indicator and those telescoping clamps, I think that's what they're called. It's a couple of rods and some hardware that allows you to clamp the dial indicator to the spindle of your drill press and position it wherever you need, to check the squareness to the table in the two axis that you need to drill that hole strait. That cost about $20. You simply position the dial indicator perpendicular to the table and rotate the spindle, watching for where the needle moves. Look up "tramming a mill", this will show you what you need to know.
Also, besides never reaming with a hand drill, you really shouldn't use a reamer to make a hole that small 5 thousandths bigger. That's too much.
... ... ...also, next time you use a vice to push a rifling button, at least put a flat piece of steel on the skinny side so you have a better chance of keeping it strait, those jaws look like they're hindering that. I've taken two tours now, of places that make high end barrels and they say that the biggest issue is keeping the button and rod as strait as possible. Well, theirs looks like the button & rod are one piece but the same rule applies. ...ha, I see you caught that towards the end, a flat piece of steal wouldn't be nothin to just add to the mix. ...waite you have a mill!?! what the hell are you doing, man? lol crazy bastard!
You are really clever I liked your way of thinking thank you
Thanks mr.serbu for the educational video/ comedic video on showing me not what to do. Ever..
Watching you wrangle that death wheel had me puckering.
It's ok...I'm a professional. ;-)
This man flexing by throwing precision out the window.
that subtle jab at royalnonesuch was spot on :p
GREAT JOB MARKYMARK !!! YOU HAVE PUT OUT SOME AWESOME PIECES ,NOW GET TO WORK ON A 12 GAUGE REVOLVER !!!
love what you're doing with these vids Mark!
Nice Pakistani gunsmithing skills!
I had to go back in time to find this gem of content 😮
Short and sweet. But what about long barrel? Got Gun Drill machine?
Nice shop you have there. I hope to expand into aluminum billet parts, and get a Haas or two also.
BE A GOD OF ,MATERIAL GOODS!!! ")
No one, no where, EVER do anything he just did! I think hes an awesome guy, & I appreciate the work that has his name on it but not sure he should make you tube videos.
Just found this channel, this being the first video I've watched... Got here in the course of wondering if a .22 could be rebored to .27 and what could be done about the rifling. Hypothetically of course, such a thing would have no use in britain.
The twist rate depends on the weight of the arrow in Minecraft of course
Thanks for doing it with simple tools. And, thank you for showing us the right way!
Mark Serbu does not like using any PPE, No gloves or glasses LOL
...and yet still has all his body parts!
Not the smartest guy in the world!
Gloves and glasses are what soft pussy, not for men! Had J.M. Browning gloves and glasses on?
Our hands are covered in leather and there's a membrane holding all the jelly inside our eyeballs. What more do you need.
markserbu , pride precedes a fall. Proverbs 16: 18.
I bet you my cat could scratch it!! She's a pro and a beast when it comes to scratching!! She backed down a diamond in a scratching contest one time! I'm so proud of her!
chuck that in a lathe and have a tapered barrel! will look great! follow your bore!
Great teaching materials for people in countries where gun making and owning is forbidden by law, but needed something to defend themselves from the cruel government law. 🤔🤔🤔 Love this DIY instruction.
nice for handgun barrel.....I'd like to see a 20" rifle..... :)
I honestly didn't know the Z axis had that much hydraulic pressure to be thousands of pounds. I should have known having run CNCs for 15 years. Thanks for the video. Rifling was the one thing that had me stumped. Not anymore!
Well, kind of. It's not hydraulic pressure it's force. And that force comes from a servo motor driving a ballscrew. On CNC machines they call it "axis thrust", and on that particular machine the Z axis can exert around 4,000 pounds of force. Obviously plenty for a .22 but not enough for 9mm. Glad you learned about rifling, thanks for watching!
