I'm Inspired By Wombat To Share My Break Open AR15 Idea.

[arakboss]

In case I don't survive, I want almost all of you to know, it was a pleasure hanging with you.

I decided to stick with the 7.62x39 barrel for the maiden voyage because I am too lazy to dig through my piles and find a different barrel. I still have to block the gas port and then load her up (one at a time). If it works, it could be a one of a kind. If it doesn't.....








I may install my safety pistol tube for the first shots, to help make sure I don't jerk back the bcg prior or during firing off the round. When tube is threaded on, it will keep bcg from moving.

God speed my friend…..

Problem solved with .65 cent 5/16" tension pin and a tiny bit of filing on rear half of upper.

I had to file down the tension pin as it was making contact with the gas key and preventing bcg from going into full battery.

Tell whoever is holding your beer to stand a ways back.

Uh oh... a thread where dremels and firearms are mentioned frequently... I hear echoes of Bubba reverberating here.

As long as the lugs can rotate and lock into the barrel extension, I don't see why this can't work. Be it you might have to pull back on the carrier to get the barrel free to tilt it.

A QD clamp could provide some peace of mind on the first firing though. Like an optics mount but without the optic. Just to clamp the two pieces of upper together.

As for the gas hole. If you don't care about the barrel. Just weld the hole closed. It shouldn't matter if you leave it be honestly, it will just act as a really poor compensated port. A hose clamp might even do the trick if you are looking for bubba points.

It reminds me of the guys that cut up carriers to have handheld manual action blasters.

What keeps the barrel in the up position for firing? The bolt head? Isn't that uneven top-to-bottom engagement going to damage the locking lugs fairly quickly?

Yes the bolt does and it might damage the lugs.

Let us know where you shoot so we can avoid being near your pipe bomb testing.

I fired off two rounds with safety buffer tube attached and about 8 without it. It works.

Bloop tube project was a success as well.

You have no idea when the top lugs are going to shear off due to the uneven loading.

I have to be honest with you. I have know idea about a lot of things in this world.

Not a good attitude when the pressures are in the thousands.

Have I ever had a good idea...

Hopefully it is something about removing the asymmetric loading your gun puts on the locking lugs with no protection from case failure granted by a receiver.

Totally bizarre and I love it.
