want a great bolt action? one that doesnt leak, doesnt put too much stress on the handle, and not hard to make?

well, look no more

warning, gif animation is 1 MB big, distorted and discoloured, not bad for a freeware mass converter and resizer.

slowmo, same file size

making this animation caused sweat blood and tears, u better like it...
watch as the command line and time at the bottom fly away. this contains 25 (1280*1024 coverted to 800*600) frames at 10 FPS

the 4 steps

the "cam"

the red thing at the bottom right is a rubber coupling, which makes an awesome seal

note: the handle(u dont even need it) that u push and pull is not shown, also the little knob attached to the barrel is a hose clamp.

and rhino 3d for the 3d models
it is free, and says "u have ## of saves left, use one now?" when u try to save, but it never ever runs out due to stupid programmers, so it is completely free

damn id love to do that but i cant down load all that. i will just blow 500 bucks on a cad system but thanx any ways :D

NOTE FROM PIMPMANN22: Stop smoking crack! Did you read the last of his post were he said? "when u try to save, but it never ever runs out due to stupid programmers, so it is completely free" Do you think they would limit you to saves and make you pay $500?

download all that? its 30mb
but it will not let you use ctrl+c and ctrl+v, but u can type "copy" in the command line.

but the number of saves left goes back to 25 only when u r connected to the internet, so cannot save offline after 25.
if u want to save a rendering, dont click save, just screenshoot the rendering result

any more comments on the bolt action?
also, TAWM 2 ignition

the red thing is a cheap dollar store fan

If you want Auto Cad use Lime Wire. I got it risk free but no guarantees. Just search Auto Cad. I got a file that works that is labeled T-401503391-AutoCad 2005 +serial +keygen.zip.

Did you scan for viruses? The last time I downloaded a proggy off limewire, it replaced all my desktop icons with porn icons (jk, but thought it would be funny to say). :lol:

Check out BendTech. I use it when designing headers, exhausts, and roll cages. It is super easy to use and cheap.

My comp scans for viruses automatically. Never download anything with a file size of 851.7 KB on Lime Wire, it's a virus. Anyways, I built something like this and it was really awkward, you had to slide the entire weight of the barrel. If I'm understanding this right, that's what happens here. If you reversed it to fire the other way it would be more practical. Attach the yellow part and the barrel directly to the chamber.

Wow! Neat, I've never had to think about a breech lock before as I have never committed myself to completely finishing a project as I mostly just mess around with different barrel sizes, tank sizes, triggers... Also, money too (Blah!).
I like your design, full marks to ya, full marks.
