Building the Coffee Mill Gun

[epps1919]

The last pic has a piece of brass on the right that has a square hole in it, is not right. some body must have put that in there years a go. it should have a agitator plate in the bottom.

This is the best un-terminated-for-NSFW-girly-pics thread on this forum, ever.

Are there any plans for one of these in .22LR?

Not yet, but i have plans for a 22lr 1862 Gatling gun in the works.

Some pic's of the Agitator in stalled it's a hinged plate that goes up and down to keep the cartridges from binding up. It has an arm that rides on top of the wedge that moves the plate up and down.

Your sir have skills.

^ What he said.

You should post a YouTube video of your build, and first firing. Maybe even contact Hickok45, I bet he'd be glad to do a show on it!!!

Think it will be ready to play soon? If the carriage isn't ready I could plant a 4×4 or something.

I have not had time to work on it much because I have been doing a lot of A/C work. Probably will not be ready for your shoot!

What an extremely cool project. Very impressive. How much does it weigh?

It weighs right at 80lb's but it will be well over a 100lb's when i get the base plate/ swivel plate done.

Just think, in the time some of us had our regulated purchases go through the MSP process epps1919 built himself one kick arse example of weaponry and craftsmanship.

Epps1919...Well done sir, well done indeed.

This continues to be a fascinating build!

 

[epps1919]

Here are some pictures of me making some cartridges/chambers, cut the length on the band saw and finished the length on the lathe, need to bore and ream next.

[mestafford]

Reaming the chambers on the lathe and countersinking the 209 primer pockets on the mill.

Sir, you could form an apprenticeship or mentoring program that would be the envy of any manufacturer. Your work is amazing!
