Building the Coffee Mill Gun

When are you bringing it over to play? That will be too cool but you will need a bigger trailer to haul your toys with.

Got the bigger trailer but it needs new tires.

I made three hammer springs before I got it right! Had to order .093 spring flat steel. The .063 was not strong enough, now it fires the primers every time!
Here are some pics of the original and my gun. Still need to make the hopper and almost ready to test fire. Got the timing all up to snuff, that took awhile!!

20x.50 carry the 1 x the square root + somthing that's like a $hit load of lead. Good job and well done Sr. I see the mill drill in the background is that what you used. Or do you also have a full sized mill.

Making the hopper, all the parts cut out of brass and silver soldered the main parts together. Soldered the trim on , still need to clean up and polish it all up.

Dose it look like the original in the pic next to it? Now i need to make the Agitator that go's in the hopper. That's what the square hole in the bottom is for. It has a 1/4" square rod that pushes up on a plate to agitate the chamber to keep form binding up.

Pretty darn close to it.
