Well, I got bored
Permalink  
 


Hope all are doing well. I been working way to much and hunting way to little. With the R&D site at Syngenta growing I just don't have time for much else. Baby sitting contractors will drive you nuts and watching the RTP crow mock me all day does not help any. So I get bored and thats never a good thing. 

So here is what I did. 

 

 I built me a Metro Barrel Extension for my Baikal. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I run the Winchester AA Feather Light loads in it. Low recoil and low noise, 26 grams. They don't cycle the action, just push the bolt back. They are really for pump guns, but I don't own one so I built it for my crow gun. It makes a nice little pop when it goes off. I works great and It love the WTF looks when folks see it.

It is 3/4" emt conduit, welded to an extended choke that was turned down to fit inside of the conduit. The cool thing is that I can keep my full choke in my pocket so if I need to reach out and touch one, I can.

Hey Jon,

Here's one configuration of a bayonet with a Metro barrel extension for you!

As Gadget Bob would say, it's "suboptimal".  The 17" blade of that Model 1917 is still 16" too short for thrusting.

The TCP - pushing the equipment envelope!

We will most defiantly modify yours Jon. I should have it done by the end of next week. I figure the configuration should have a picatinny rail so that we can add a laser, light, Night vision, shell holder, cup holder and a cappuccino machine. That way, we will have the light to see it, the laser to point it out, NV for back up, extra shells to shoot with, the bayonet to cut it up, a cup holder to hold our coffee while we hunt.

Now that would be the way to go.

Man those look good!!

 

Mind sharing your secrets? How did you get striping and definition without all the over spray and distortion?

PP, you should try the Federal metro load.  The are subsonic, but use 1 1/8 oz of shot, so they will cycle some semiautos.

It's better to have a bayonet and not need it than need it and not have it!

Seriously, for dispatching hoppers I sometimes carry a Ruger Old Army revolver afield loaded with shot.  So far, field tests have determined a 00 ball plus #8 shot in a paper capsule are the most efficient erasers.  Using a black powder pistol throwing ball and shot is zany enough for the way we ride, keeps the decibel level in line with our quiet shotguns, produces some interesting muzzle flamage and a satisfying cloud of blue/white smoke that amuses Gadget Bob and Texas Matt.  And, there is nothing that says, 'finis' like a smoking bullet hole.  I understand Puppy Popper getting bored!

Always pushing the equipment envelop out!

Hi PP.

Well played on your "Metro" clone and your excellent camo rendering.

As LSP opined, I am always amused when he finishes off a corvid with his black powder concoctions. It is also humorous when Texas Matt drops a coyote or other furbearer with his suppressed .17HMR.  I am blessed to share hunts with a great set of partners.  Having fun afield, TCP style, is what it is all about! 

Regards,

Does this same load cycle the action without the long tube? I can't see how it could possibly reduce bolt thrust or pressure/force.

A very interesting cheap way to get a quiet shotgun, by the way. As an ameteur machinist, I'm always on the lookout for these cheap ideas!

Shot - the loads will not cycle the action with the tube off. On the bottom of the box, it states not to use in an autoloader . It pushes the bolt back almost to the point of throwing the shell and stops there. After I finish Jon's, I think I am going to build one for the Benelli, just to see if it will work and just to have one on the Benelli . The one pictured is on a Baikal and I have the gas system turned all the way down. I am thinking of ordering anther spring for it and cutting off a round of spring. Now granted if I can get my hands on some Federal Metro loads, that might change some things.

Talking about a cheap way, Find the cheapest extended choke you can get. Pick up a scrap of 24", 3/4" conduit and some JB weld . The two part mix, not the putty. You will be good to go after that. A barrel extension for less than $70 bucks.

Oh, then you got to paint it.

The only down side is that when I finish Jon's and find out how it really is supposed to work I'll have to go buy an 870.

Wait, another gun, where is the down side to that ?

That depends if the wife forces you to knock her up again before the next gun purchase...

Well, its the most unorthodox thing that you will ever see. I start off with a vision of one thing and by the end of it , it's something else. I have to paint a stock this weekend. I'll takes some pics as I go along with it.
