Actual gunsmithing in the wild. That is how it is done.

Man, what a step up! A milling machine is one hell of an asset for the shop, although it is not cheap, you're surely gonna save a lot of time and are now capable of much more.

That last empty case went to the moon 😅

Those blueprints were very hard to even understand ! Very cool work tbh

Excellent work and to make it even better, your comments as you moved thru the project added a great deal to the content. I also look forward to more projects. The mill will definitely extend your capabilities. Wonderful! Reid Coffield

Fuck yeah, new Rakum video just dropped!

Nice work. You can belt sand a smooth side on a file to help with a cut.

Yes, I need to do that on a variety of different files

i couldnt read that drawing scheme, amazing job

Good job man! It's back to full life now!

I envy the hell out of that mill. Awesome work, man!

Awesome milling machine. Maybe you could make a bolt for a Spanish destroyer carbine one day.

I've intentionally clogged the side of a file with wax to create a semi safe edge. Not perfect but it helps. the wax cards out easily enough when your done.

Awesome bro! I love watching you build parts from scratch!

Nicely done.! Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing

When you couldnt get bolts or bolt parts for all the Century gewehr 88s, id made an ejector in a pinch using a metal pen pocket clip....it works for about 20 to 100 rds before breaking , but at the time, it worked in a pinch.

Babe wake up Rakum posted again

Awesome work. Such a beautiful rifle

When I watch @Abomb79 here on the Tube, I think of all the things I could do with his equipment.😊 Good job! Mark Novak approved!

Nice mill. I bet you'll have fun playing with that new toy. Now you only need $10K worth of tooling.

I heart what you're doing. Keep it up.

Loved it! No bluing the ejector though?

I don't think it needs it. I keep the bolts and bolt parts oiled so there shouldn't be much of a chance of rust.

very nice

Amazing job! I love your work!

Good job!

Good job, well done!

this is AWESOME

Nice job!

Awesome. Nice Job.

The push pull of the extractor n ejector is a sort of controlled feed upon chambering

Nice!

Nice!!!

Sorry to tell you my friend but Jack's First has them. Relatively cheap too. I think i paid less than 40. I bought 2 ejectors and 2 extractors cuz they have those too. But you can be proud that you made it yourself! Thats huge.

I almost ordered one but then I found the blue prints and it didn't look too hard to make. A nice challenge for myself. If anyone here needs one and doesn't have the ability to make it, I'm sure it's a good choice.

Great video. You think you could do a video on specifically how you cast your projectiles for reloading ?

Is there anything specific you'd like to see? I could do a casting video but I don't think I do anything different from others. I would like to make my own molds one day and if I ever do that I'll definitely film it.

@@rakumprojects For sure ! I’ve been looking for videos pertaining to casting projectiles for 8x50r Mannlicher . Reason being is all the casts I see out there for it look very incorrect and lack it being round nose and correct length. Also 11mm for the 1886 Mannlicher ! Love your videos man keep it up and thank you for responding !

It’s not a spring that pushes it out?

Is this something you'd be willing to make another of and sell?

Excellent work man. How long did it take? Love the videos!

Not too bad, it probably would have taken an hour or two to make, if I weren't filming of course.

Fantastic rifle isnt it?

Don't forget to heat treat it. Otherwise, it will wear quickly.

I was going to potentially remake this from harden-able steel, but another commenter pointed out that it's better to leave it soft. That way any wear will be on the ejector rather than the receiver or bolt.

Do you think case hardening the part would be a good addition?

@rakumprojects

Yes, case hardening mild steel or making it from tool steel would make it last a lot longer. I don't have a forge to case harden (yet), but I could always make it again from tool steel if this one doesn't hold up.

I thought the same but because of the age of the rifle I would think it better not to better to mill new parts when and if the wear out than to cause damage to the rifle itself in my opinion

Great work and interesting Vid. But why are you talking like that?
