I made the cover!

[55fairlane]

Look at me! I made the cover and the feature article!

After some debate over the features of the floating chamber reamer holder I was gifted by a friend, I decided a new "improved " unit was in order. As I was sketching up my ideas/changes I took the opportunity to document my work and write an article about my project.

The reamer holder works well as I have done several rimfire chambers.

What ya think?

This just reaffirmed my belief that I am just a machine operator not a a true machinist

I don't believe I have.

I don't believe I have.

I used my newly manufactured reamer holder to chamber this AR rimfire barrel...started life as a Remington 510 score Master barrel. Turned the entire job to 9/16 diameter. Turned the trunion from Aluminum used Loc-tite to glue it on. Then I made an aluminum barrel nut

Cool skills being able to fabricate like that. I wish I had gone that route instead of electronics and IT.

Aircraft mechanics fascinate me as well.

I do remember those threads now. Awesome work.

I'd be interested in seeing that when it's finished.

Are you familiar with the process Connecticut Precision Chambering uses to recut 10/22 barrels?

@55fairlane

That is awesome! Being published, and receiving recognition from your professional brethren, is pretty special.

Many moons ago I was on the cover of Plant Services. I did not have an article in that issue, they just wanted the photo for the cover.

Awesome work @55fairlane and congrats on making the cover of Machinist's Workshop!

Edit: 12 posts and no Dr Hook references?

The AR22 is finished, I just need to find the target pictures

Being published is so awesome. Congratulations! Totally cool. Be sure to use your skill for good not evil (which pays better). To the @KellyinAvon Dr. Hook reference:

In the song's lyrics, he sang: "The biggest thrill we've never ever known is the thrill that'll getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone Machinist's Workshop."

That works! Plus Rolling Stone is a leftist rag nowadays.
