teflon don Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 hey guy's i have way to much time on my hands so i started creating custom airsoft guns just to see if i could do it here's one of my projects its a dan wesson revolver and i tried to rebuild or customize each part here are some pictures of that work in progress let me know what you think turning down the barrel i filled up the flutes in the chamber then turned it down and then i painted it i did everything on my lathe so it has a perfect finish how it should look when its done test fitting the barrel after i milled out the indexing slot (latter i had to remill that slot because i cut my compensator in the wrong side) i marked on the hammer where i was going to cut it (nut sure if im going to keep it cut or if im going to make the hammer with a piece of a gear) adding bondo to the frame milling the compensator slots Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Do you have a peg or sketch of where you're headed? Link to post Share on other sites
Pdubyuh Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I like the idea and i like what I see so far!! As renegadecow daid any sketched ideas of what you want it to end up looking like ? Link to post Share on other sites
teflon don Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Do you have a peg or sketch of where you're headed? nope not really, im doing it typewriter style i have it completely worked out in my head, aside from a few details Link to post Share on other sites
leothelion Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 A very interesting project. I hope youve mentally sketched a holster as well.. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 nope not really, im doing it typewriter style You're using nowhere near as much bondo as Typewriter. Link to post Share on other sites

teflon don Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 its finished im still not quite sure about the hammer but ill do for now, but eventually ill design something sweet (it needs extra weight, fps dropped due to light strikes) Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Looks good but not at all steampunk? Needs way many more random brass and copper tubes going into nowhere and coming from somwhere. RDS doesnt suit, more of a brass scope tube with un-needed magnification lol Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Link to post Share on other sites

renegadecow Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Not steampunk enough, but looks like the beginnings of a decent bowling pin gun. I'd suggest to get rid of that wee bit of rail and go full-on sight rib. There are railed sight ribs too if you really need optics, but the extra bit meat goes a long way for looks.

Mike_West Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 its finished Nope, it ain't. Like RenegadeCow said, slap a full sight rib on it, and only go from there. You just started, and there's still a lot to do with it. Here's my concept of a steampunk revolver. Barrel and frame are Webley Mk6, hinge is S&W Model 3 (Schofield), grip and trigger guard are Colt Peacemaker and cylinder and trigger are Taurus Judge. Notice this: visually, this gun is retro as all hell. It's based on guns designed in 19th century, with the exception of cylinder. You have to remember that steampunk is very closely linked to the Victorian period, and its American counterpart, cattlepunk, is linked to the Wild West in the same way. I wrote a piece on designing steampunk guns a while back: http://seriously-mike.tumblr.com/post/47647244471/so-you-want-to-design-a-steampunk-gun And if you want advice on "Where do I go from here", let's see: - the grip is thoroughly modern. You want to smooth it out: get rid of the finger grooves and grip texture, and reshape the top part. Also, beef up the bottom and try working a metal faux frame into the grip - a thin strip of aluminium glued into a groove milled in the front and bottom of the grip should be enough. - this revolver needs an underlug of some kind. Preferably one imitating the loading rod of cap-and-ball revolvers like Remington NMA and Colt Navy. Bonus points for making it out of brass. - a fully optional piece of mad science mounted under the barrel. Copper cylinder, vacuum tube, maybe both. - an equally optional optical sight. You might like an open red-dot with a round lens as the base (think C-More), smoothed out and painted in an imitation of a typical bakelite pattern (glossy of course), with the lens frame covered with a brass or copper pipe.

renegadecow Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Sweet babies! Give that a brass trigger guard and backstrap and I'll take ten! Or make it a 7 1/2" barrel with a dragoon trigger guard and chamber it for .45-70! Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 it must be said, nicely machined. But not steampunk. this is -> Link to post Share on other sites

teflon don Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 maybe i should rename the treat bowling pin gun because this is more or less the style i was going for thanx for al the inputs here are the changes that i will make - full sight rib (does anyone know where i can buy one (i would rather not machine one from scratch)) - an underlug (do you think a square one will look good) Link to post Share on other sites
crash0744 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 What did the fps drop to when the hammer was machined down. I've always fancied a Dan Wesson but the stock power is too high to skirmish with in the uk Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 - full sight rib (does anyone know where i can buy one (i would rather not machine one from scratch)) - an underlug (do you think a square one will look good) The cheapest one I could find. You may still want to machine one yourself because of it. http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/sights/sight-parts/sight-ribs/asr-6-sight-rib-single-screw-rear-adjusting-prod24663.aspx *they have other models too and you may want to look into sight ribs for rifles as they're cheaper And a square if not angular underlug to go with the lines of your barrel.

druid799 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 it must be said, nicely machined. But not steampunk. this is -> 'Gulp' , WoW ! Yup that's steampunk !!!!!!!!!Truly a work of art ! All you need now is some bird with a huge cleavage and a bustle hanging off the opposite arm to your gun hand and your sorted ! Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Well since this revolver ain't mine this is not likely to happen. On the other hand, I have two Sword Cutlass M9's, although it's not steampunk, that bird you described would fit perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites

renegadecow Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 No wai bro. Clearly the soot from that candle will clog up your optics in no time. Plus the shot is sure to kill the flame. Either have the scope offset to the left with a shorter candle or use a miners carbide lamp. Link to post Share on other sites
teflon don Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 What did the fps drop to when the hammer was machined down. I've always fancied a Dan Wesson but the stock power is too high to skirmish with in the uk to about 200fps it isn't usable as it is now and lowering the weight of the hammer to drop the fps isn't really the way to go if you want to lower the fps you should restrict the flow of gas in the shells Link to post Share on other sites
Typewriter Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Looks pretty good, but (as mentioned before) not steampunk enough. Maybe some brass-color scheme and copper pipes and sh*t? Link to post Share on other sites
