+Clinton Westwood Out of curiosity, do you ever plan to get a lathe? I use a mini lathe and mill which is good enough for all my gunsmithing. Only cost me about $1200 for both ("only"). But you do get your money's worth back in time saved and it opens up the door for more approaches to little problems.
+Dave Smith Yes, I will at some point. The expense is not an issue. What I'm attempting here on this channel is demonstrate how the average bozo in his garage can build acceptable firearms. I think as soon as I introduce more complex and expensive machine tools, I will lose a good portion of my audience. If I change tooling, I'll start another channel. This one I want to remain pure to the "Home Depot" crowd. Does that make sense. It's limiting, but very challenging for me to stay with the philosophy.
if you can, run the reamer slower, around 120rpm. different cooling aids give different diameters, oil makes it slightly larger, emulsion makes it slightly smaller. if the alignment of tool and part isn't 100% perfect, give one part space to move, either the tool or the part. I'm a professional, its my job to work with stuff like that but I'm very impressed of your abilities to improvise at home. the real word MacGyver.
WOW!!! Really nice work. I am learning a huge amount of stuff I never would have even thought to ask. This channel really does set the standard for home gun builders.
Great video as always, I noticed a bandaid. Did you cut yourself on a burr, or did you hammer on the wrong nail? By the way, what kind of plane did you work on?
+JagdtygerII I sliced that thumb on the magazine feed lips just prior to showing off on how well the round pops of the top of the stack:( Serves me right for showing off. I built an RV-6 from a very early kit. No pre-drilled stuff for me.
Please don't wear long sleeves and gloves when drilling or machining. Made me shudder.... May I suggest also, if you are going to do welding on the barrel, do the final ream after welding, so that any distortion is reamed out. Love your videos, thank you for sharing! (Y)
+Clinton Westwood will make my first attempt if you're finished... but do you reckon to start with the kolt(any cal.) or the kriken? (love the looks of this one)
Thank you very much! I love the detail. That's 5/8 4130 drawn on manderal tube? Where are you making your calculations for what diameter the barrel tube should be, given the pressure of a .380? Will you be hard chroming the bore to extend the rifling?
+The Laughing Hyenas I used a number of engineering tables and calculators. I consulting a friend who works in the hydraulic industry as well. As to the hard chroming, I don't know. If the end result of this build is satisfactory, maybe.
Thanks for your videos, are awesome!!. Clint, were did you buy the tubing for the canon? or its a blank barrel that you can buy in any gunsmith store?. Sorry for my english I'm a spanish speaking.
Respekt sehr gute Arbeit 👏 und das alles ohne eine Dreh oder Fräsmaschine echt große Respekt Ich bin genauso wie du und mache alles selbst,nur ohne es zu veröffentlichen
i hope this time you would put a nice protruding ejector in your gun before you fire it first time so you will not need to deal with such often failures to eject by installing actual ejector later
As always, great job on the gun build and video. I'm really excited to see what new ideas you come up with for rifling the barrel. I've got to ask...where do you buy those sexy looking work gloves?
+n7gtb Very common gloves, here's one link. www.fullsource.com/pip-33-b125/?size=2&gclid=CjwKEAjwjca5BRCAyaPGi6_h8m8SJADryPLhM9GccPAUGfRRMJ7vN8EpIF4LB2x1H8ft0xl2xURVfxoCMzXw_wcB
+Clinton Westwood kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk... very good, a pity in Brazil honest people can not use weapons, love the USA and the people who live there. Você é sim inteligente e apesar de eu não falar inglês, consegui entender bem. thanks.
i think you made a mistake with the barrel. the way you measured it the lands will be the diameter of the bullet instead of the grooves. when you cut away material for the rifling later it will be bigger than the bullet if it fits the barrel now.
+james dieter You can't see on the video, but there's a slight countersink to each end where I deburred it. The bullet sits about .030" proud of the barrel. That should be enough for good contact in the grooves.
ok, i see. your videos are really interesting and i am looking forward to the finished product. too bad it is illegal to build a firearm where i live (germany) :/
I have a question; If the bore is the same size as the bullet, then the grooves are an even larger diameter, how do the lands CUT into the bullet? It seems that propellent gasses will escape around the bullet through the grooves. Just an observation or am I missing something here?
Love the channel , hate to be a safety nut. But when you were reaming , holding that tube. If the reamer managed to stick and spin that bracket it could of hurt you. Anyhow awesome work. I wish I could see you build either a blowback 5.56 or scrap ak.
+scar17gion Thank you for your concern. I sometimes slip a little because of familiarity with my tools. That was a fairly substantial vise it was mounted in. I suspect that the round tube would spin in the jaws long before rotating the vise. Anyway, thanks again, I must be careful and promote safe practices. The number of viewers that are starting to watch deserve as much.
Is it possible to cast some parts with a backyard refinery and mold or would it be too non-structurally sound for a firearm? Another thing, you have mentioned you plan on doing a more professional gunsmithing series on another account. Have you ever considered doing something similar to the Man At Arms guys, and building weapons found in video games and test firing them at a range? I can already hear people requesting the Fallout 3 Combat Shotgun.
+Joey Skylynx I suppose the trigger could be cast. None of the FCG parts. Maybe part of the frame. I haven't ever cast DIY stuff and don't know what kind of quality one can achieve. The other channel plans are quite a ways in the future. It will have to be unique enough to stand out. Your idea holds merit.
Actually, regarding the video game concept. You could also adapt that idea to include the situations in which the weapons were produced and try to replicate it.
Looks as if your using ATF for your cutting fluid. I know it is a high detergent oil and when mixed 50-50 with acetone it makes a very good penetrating oil, but what are the advantages to using it to cut with?
+Dillard Hayes Good eye man. Did you know that it was also synthetic? :) It was the only oil I had on hand or could find easily. I use anything I have in arms reach. My bad.
Roll paper around a wooden dowel and put a bit of glue on the outside of the paper and put another strip of paper over that and repeat let it dry. And find some washers that fit in it. And super glue or epoxy them together. And glue them into the bottom of the paper case thats gunna be your priming pocket. You can use cap gun caps as primers and use powder or make black powder You can use bb's for a shotgun load or cast a lead ball for a bullet. And insert Powder Wad Projectile And caping wad. And you have an entirely homemade bullet
@Jason Krieger I assume you're looking to fire live ammunition from a blank firing gun? Most blank guns are not made from steels suitable for handling the high pressure detonation of a cartridge. If I were to use 9mm P.A.K. as the base for a cartridge, I'd create my bullet to match the diameter of the barrel, and then taper the case around the bullet, however this will lead to headspacing issues if the cartridge is too short to properly chamber, or even feeding issues with the magazine if the follower doesn't apply pressure correctly. What kind of weapon would you use to convert?
Jacob Krieger not that i know of..easier to just buy inert 380 or put a lead ball into the pak round. Can't use standard barrel though. Obviously i know these things seeing as I'm from England;) I'd never consider it as that would make me a criminal lol compound bow is just as good and legal
If you ream the barrel to the dia of the slug, how do the rifling grooves grip? I would think that the OD of the rifling would match the dia of the slug so the bullet is squeezed into the grooves.. Wrong?
+Clinton Westwood SAAMI pressure for .380 Auto is 21,500 psi. Ultimate tensile strength of 4130 is 97,200 psi. Here's the link to the calculation: www.corrosionmaterials.com/technical/burst-pressure-calculator/
INTAO I AM FOLLOWING ITS PROJECT WAS ENDING, BUT I HAD NOT HAD TO PLACE MY MEASURES I CAN NOT IDENTIFY ITS. I'M DOING "'MY PROJECT' 'BASED ON YOURSELF I WANT TO KNOW WHAT you work for me to take some doubts in my region and feelings or thumbs if you can help me but I do the calculations. mano you and the guy you are the first one that puts the face with design and everything I am your fan
It seems like the barrel diameter is the same as or slightly larger than the bullet diameter, how would the ridges of the rifling grab onto the bullet then?
Yeah but the workmanship you out in to your guns is far superior! I am thinking of doing a 9mm Bullet Hose but want to use Beretta 92 mags as I have a bunch of them and 30 rounders. I'd like to see your twist on that design and use it for guidance on things I can also improve on.
Only thirty or so years left to work on this stuff. So little time. Oh wait, maybe not. One build at a time. I, of course measure the popularity of certain comments. I'm thinking that by the volume of the comments, that I need to do a Krikit type build in .22LR. I've had a lot of feedback on that, and now it's got me curious. That is after I see a mag full of .380 ACP's spitting out the front of this one:)
+Sal Salazar Once again, the holdup will be the rifling. I have some new ideas I want to try. Hopefully better than the Krikit. It is functional, just not perfect.
So I can't find what the wall thickness should be between the case and outside of barrell...assuming this is the point of greatest pressure...i bought a .380 barrel blank but cannot find out if the chamber end needs to be something separate that is thicker or if I can drill and ream barrel blank to accept case?
INTAO ESTOU SEGUINDO SEU PROJETO QUASSE ACABANDO , POREM INFELIZMENTE TIVE QUE COLOCAR MINHAS MEDIDAS NAO CONSEGUI IDENTIFICAR A SUAS. ESTOU FAZENDO "'MEU PROJETO"' BASEANDO NO SEU POREM QUERIA SABER QUAL mm vc trabalha pra mim tirar algumas duvidas na minha regiao e sentimetros ou polegas se poder me ajudar eu msm faço os calculos .
+Zaratustrov I wasn't clear on the video, my bad. There's a slight bevel on each end where I deburred the tube. The diameter is reamed for a .002" interference fit. The grooves will be the actual diameter of the bullet.
+Aaron Krogh look it up on amazon. Harbor freight and grizzly also sell those too. Pretty much essential pieces of equipment in gunsmithing if you work with making barrels.
Nice work but i searched for my self and found no Plans at the Internet where did you find yours? Sorry for that Bad english but this auto corection is drivin me crazy
+Simon Rival Definitely they don't match the quality of a self honed reamer. Still, firearms can take quite a bit of cut corners and still perform well if the design is well engineered. One of my friends who I learned a lot of gunsmithing from built a bolt action "rifle" (legally it is a pistol) for benchrest shooting. Literally the entire gun came from a scrap heap of rusted Chinese mystery metal. He used a short barrel and a really thick wall diameter making this thing unwieldy as heck but this thing is a sub MOA rifle with his personal record of a 1.43" (or something, I just know it was under 1.5") group at 200 yards with some SSK cartridge (don't remember the specific diameter, might have been the whisper (blackout) actually). He just reamed a hole and installed a barrel liner. It doesn't hold a candle to the "real" benchrest rifles, but it definitely is no slouch. There is a video on youtube of some guys shooting a savage bolt action mounted on a 2x4. Literally.
+coelhoteixeira Same technique as the magazine spring. I mounted a round rod, 5/16" I think, in the drill press and wrapped music wire around it. Then normalized it.
+Argonco2 9x19 needs locking or very heavy bolt, 9x18 doesn't need lock but might be too powerful for homemade guns, 9x17 is what he is using, very good caliber for pistols without locking and gives it a long parts life plus is cheap.
Hmmmm I don't see the purpose of rifling the barrel now you can see the projectile fits in easily if you open it anymore the bullet will slope around like in a loose vagina open the end go t the case or there will be no accuracy and the projectile won't engage the rifling. hmmmmmm I need a pooh. nothing worse then diahorea was wiping my arse and my finger broke th paper lost me finger up to the 2nd knuckle.
+tensephilly Yeah, my parents were diplomats and I spent my formative years in Britain and Canada. That's why I said I've heard they're nice. Some of their habits/vocal weirdnesses have stuck. Too old to change:) Or care:)
Clinton Westwood That's really interesting to hear, because I've always been curious if being in an environment of different accents could influence the way one would speak. Thanks for sharing.
+tensephilly Language is very deeply ingrained. For those of us that are of limited learning skills, it's a problem upgrading. I have one language only and I don't do that one well:( Readin an ritting are an issue:)
Very professional procedures. Really setting the standard on the way things should be done in the home shop environment.
+Dave Smith My kingdom for lathe.
+Clinton Westwood Out of curiosity, do you ever plan to get a lathe? I use a mini lathe and mill which is good enough for all my gunsmithing. Only cost me about $1200 for both ("only"). But you do get your money's worth back in time saved and it opens up the door for more approaches to little problems.

+Mofo Jojo I've observed that. I'm always surprised at the differences in expected ID's.
WOW!!!
Really nice work. I am learning a huge amount of stuff I never would have even thought to ask. This channel really does set the standard for home gun builders.
Gotta love the adjustable reamers. sure beats paying big money for gun specific tooling. Your mags came out beautifully!
+Tater79bj Last build I became a spring master, now trying for the mag master:)
lol I like how you say "after some careful reaming" with a band aid on lol.
well done! respect from Russia!!
I watched some of your videos - noticed you don't use a lathe or a mill but rather with mostly hand tools. Very impressed.
Great video as always, I noticed a bandaid. Did you cut yourself on a burr, or did you hammer on the wrong nail?
By the way, what kind of plane did you work on?
+JagdtygerII I sliced that thumb on the magazine feed lips just prior to showing off on how well the round pops of the top of the stack:( Serves me right for showing off. I built an RV-6 from a very early kit. No pre-drilled stuff for me.
thank it was you who inspired me to do so to give a modified. rather I stay in cotato and when it is ready put the video
+Helton Fogaça Okay, good luck.
Please don't wear long sleeves and gloves when drilling or machining. Made me shudder.... May I suggest also, if you are going to do welding on the barrel, do the final ream after welding, so that any distortion is reamed out. Love your videos, thank you for sharing! (Y)
:) nice can't wait to see more.. thanks for the upload
Look out, the loonie gun grabbers are going to come after 4130 chrome-molly now and have all us airplane builders in a pickle.. ;-)
+isserfiq1 Sorry, didn't mean to ruin the "other" hobby:)
Run your reamer way slower it gives a better end result. Nice work ^^
Making progress, nice job of reaming.
You Sir are awesome!
Awesome work bud no milling machine no lathe just awesome. one question what was the OD and wall on that 4130 stock.
Nice work , cant wait to see your next project !
Coming along nicely, really cool man.
+Lil Doggy Not as fast as I like, but it's progressing.
was waiting for this one.. up to the next... (beats every series on Netflix A+++
+Dominik Volkor Ahhh, you're making my head swell. Stop it:)
+Clinton Westwood will make my first attempt if you're finished... but do you reckon to start with the kolt(any cal.) or the kriken? (love the looks of this one)
+Dominik Volkor The Krikit is the easier build. Very few parts and the design is robust to minor changes and modifications.
Thank you very much! I love the detail. That's 5/8 4130 drawn on manderal tube? Where are you making your calculations for what diameter the barrel tube should be, given the pressure of a .380? Will you be hard chroming the bore to extend the rifling?

loving the videos man. Are you planing to mill the slide or are you going to make it from sheet metal? I can't to see how this build turns out.
+Ryawshum It will be sheet metal on the slide as per the plans.
i hope this time you would put a nice protruding ejector in your gun before you fire it first time so you will not need to deal with such often failures to eject by installing actual ejector later
+Вадим Туров Yeah, I learn real slow. I will take the lessons from the last build and work forward:)

I can't help you with that. I work in fractions. You could research bore sizes I supposes and convert on your own. Sorry.

how you make bullets... i do not know to make bullets... guncotton...primer powder...? i hope you can show me... thanks
I'm sorry:( I don't know how to make bullets either. I just go to the store and buy them.
Roll paper around a wooden dowel and put a bit of glue on the outside of the paper and put another strip of paper over that and repeat let it dry. And find some washers that fit in it. And super glue or epoxy them together. And glue them into the bottom of the paper case thats gunna be your priming pocket.
You can use cap gun caps as primers and use powder or make black powder
You can use bb's for a shotgun load or cast a lead ball for a bullet. And insert

If you ream the barrel to the dia of the slug, how do the rifling grooves grip? I would think that the OD of the rifling would match the dia of the slug so the bullet is squeezed into the grooves.. Wrong?
The barrel is reamed undersized so that there's a couple of thousands of an inch to squish the bullet into the grooves for making the sucker spin.
Got it, thanks for the reply
are you planning to heat treat the barrel or are you relying on the factory tempering
+Kyle The tubing as bought is in condition N. Not sure what I'm going to do.
+Clinton Westwood I'm no expert but I would recommend heat treating
+Clinton Westwood SAAMI pressure for .380 Auto is 21,500 psi. Ultimate tensile strength of 4130 is 97,200 psi. Here's the link to the calculation:
www.corrosionmaterials.com/technical/burst-pressure-calculator/
INTAO I AM FOLLOWING ITS PROJECT WAS ENDING, BUT I HAD NOT HAD TO PLACE MY MEASURES I CAN NOT IDENTIFY ITS.
I'M DOING "'MY PROJECT' 'BASED ON YOURSELF I WANT TO KNOW WHAT you work for me to take some doubts in my region and feelings or thumbs if you can help me but I do the calculations. mano you and the guy you are the first one that puts the face with design and everything I am your fan
what was that tube originally made for?
+Вадим Туров aircraft.
what exactly? shaft for some kind of gearbox? i saw a similar shaft for gearbox of a one soviet motorcycle but it was shorter
It seems like the barrel diameter is the same as or slightly larger than the bullet diameter, how would the ridges of the rifling grab onto the bullet then?
The bullet expend slightly and will grip the rifle this makes the bullet spin..
Keep the videos coming!
+Johnny Pate I will continue until something goes bang!
Are you using soft lead to determine the barrel size or just you hand reamer?
+chevy6299 I haven't yet pushed a piece down the barrel. I'm watching the interference with the bullet very carefully.
I would love to see what you can do with the 9mm Bullet Hose design!
I think Tater79BJ is looking to build that. I'll watch his build first:)
Yeah but the workmanship you out in to your guns is far superior! I am thinking of doing a 9mm Bullet Hose but want to use Beretta 92 mags as I have a bunch of them and 30 rounders. I'd like to see your twist on that design and use it for guidance on things I can also improve on.
Only thirty or so years left to work on this stuff. So little time. Oh wait, maybe not. One build at a time. I, of course measure the popularity of certain comments. I'm thinking that by the volume of the comments, that I need to do a Krikit type build in .22LR. I've had a lot of feedback on that, and now it's got me curious. That is after I see a mag full of .380 ACP's spitting out the front of this one:)
Getting there! Cool.
+Sal Salazar Once again, the holdup will be the rifling. I have some new ideas I want to try. Hopefully better than the Krikit. It is functional, just not perfect.
I will not make a small in caliber 380, so I will do the trigger system 380 in the little undestood?
+Helton Fogaça Yes, now I understand. That's a good idea. The .380 plans have a nice trigger system. Good luck, and stay in touch.
So I can't find what the wall thickness should be between the case and outside of barrell...assuming this is the point of greatest pressure...i bought a .380 barrel blank but cannot find out if the chamber end needs to be something separate that is thicker or if I can drill and ream barrel blank to accept case?
You can find a number of pressure calculators online. Use the max pressure specs for the round and apply some measure of safety above that.
thank you I came up with .167 but I may push it out a bit further..thank you!
That's very close to what I ended up with. I'm measuring about .190"

where can I find drawings like those on your papers?
Rifling twist u made by ur self
If you reamed inside to fit the bullet, you don't need a rifling anymore, caz it will not spin the bullet. Am i wrong?
+Zaratustrov I wasn't clear on the video, my bad. There's a slight bevel on each end where I deburred the tube. The diameter is reamed for a .002" interference fit. The grooves will be the actual diameter of the bullet.
Where did you get the adjustable reamer? The build is looking good.
+Aaron Krogh look it up on amazon. Harbor freight and grizzly also sell those too. Pretty much essential pieces of equipment in gunsmithing if you work with making barrels.
+Dave Smith I have a local machine tool supply place for most of hand tools. The above poster is correct, Grizzley and HF have full kits.
+Clinton Westwood Thanks for the info. I will get started on making one. It will beat me making my own reamers. I've made to many as it is.
Nice work but i searched for my self and found no Plans at the Internet where did you find yours? Sorry for that Bad english but this auto corection is drivin me crazy
thank you so much
Can 304 steel be used to made the barrel ?
So cool!!
+perpetualjon I'm still having fun.
I'm not a fan of adjustable hand reamers the finish never seems to turn out quite right.
+Simon Rival So far, it's not too bad.
+Simon Rival
Definitely they don't match the quality of a self honed reamer. Still, firearms can take quite a bit of cut corners and still perform well if the design is well engineered.

+coelhoteixeira Same technique as the magazine spring. I mounted a round rod, 5/16" I think, in the drill press and wrapped music wire around it. Then normalized it.
Which metal used for barrel??
the speed for the reamer is too high for good surface make it slower. sorry my english iam from german
+Evoheizer123 Unfortunately, that's the slowest speed on my drill press. I didn't want to ream with my hand drill over concern of warping the cut.
ok than its my fault ;)
+Evoheizer123 No issue here. I'm not a machinist and I'll take any suggestions into consideration.
you make good work man ! keep on !
You are worth a mini lathe :)
can you make this out of anything?
What is the drill sizes in mm?
PLEASE CAN YOU SEND ME THE MANUAL LINK FOR THE THAT GUN...GG
Which barrel is steel
De ke acero es el cañon .gracias
Como fasso para ter um croqui com medidas e diâmetros desta arma
Yes how😢
where could i get this plan
I'm doing a small .25 the 380 system
+Helton Fogaça The small gun, like the one I made, the Krikit, is too light for a .380. The biggest should be a .32.
How much did you pay for all the materials
Maybe $100. I usually buy way too much because of the high likely chance of scrapping a piece.
where the barrel buy it
website link to buy the reamer tool to make the barrel
+luan bizerra I purchased locally. They are available in various kits on the web.
+Clinton Westwood thank you
buen vídeo xD
+Antonio Ortiz Thanks.
I progetti per averli quanto vuoi sono interessato
You should slow down your drill press.
+John Harmon - Cold Creek Works Yes, I really do need a new one. This one is a bit worn.
Blue print please?
wery nice weithing fore shooting 380 is thet 7.65 cal pozz ppn vitezovi
+Argonco2 Actually measures as 9mm. Not Luger though. Less powerful.
+Clinton Westwood ok thet is 9*19 not makarov 9*18mm pozz ppn vitezovi
+Argonco2 9x17mm.
+Argonco2 9x19 needs locking or very heavy bolt, 9x18 doesn't need lock but might be too powerful for homemade guns, 9x17 is what he is using, very good caliber for pistols without locking and gives it a long parts life plus is cheap.
+〈--- Literally FAST food ™ (mɐin chɐnnǝl) thenks gud cal for shoting pozz ppn vitezovi

Hi

tks
+vinicius bueno Hopefully something later today, all though maybe not what you're expecting.
Kolt 380 video???
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍🏿
Hmmmm I don't see the purpose of rifling the barrel now you can see the projectile fits in easily if you open it anymore the bullet will slope around like in a loose vagina open the end go t the case or there will be no accuracy and the projectile won't engage the rifling. hmmmmmm I need a pooh. nothing worse then diahorea was wiping my arse and my finger broke th paper lost me finger up to the 2nd knuckle.
what is the metal material?
aluminum
it's chrome Molly don't listen to that clown saying alloy. that would be a quick way to have it blow up in your face
Are you Canadian? Is this legal!?
+tensephilly No, although I hear they're nice. Yes, it's legal, where I live anyway.
Clinton Westwood
I could've sworn I heard you say "aboat" in place of "about" You must live Minnesota or something then, right?
+tensephilly Yeah, my parents were diplomats and I spent my formative years in Britain and Canada. That's why I said I've heard they're nice. Some of their habits/vocal weirdnesses have stuck. Too old to change:) Or care:)
Clinton Westwood
That's really interesting to hear, because I've always been curious if being in an environment of different accents could influence the way one would speak. Thanks for sharing.
+tensephilly Language is very deeply ingrained. For those of us that are of limited learning skills, it's a problem upgrading. I have one language only and I don't do that one well:( Readin an ritting are an issue:)
