A couple of years ago I bought a Remington Hepburn rifle That was in very poor condition. I happen to like this style of action and wanted to reverse engineer it and make a new rifle. Orin, a friend of gun lab, also has an interest in this rifle and making one. I bought a set of prints from ASSRA as a starting point and started making a solid model of the rifle in solid works. When I finished my part I sent the drawings and all the components to Orin where he finished the drawings. The project has set as we still needed a few critical dimensions. Well then I get the word from Orin that he has bought a 3d printer and he has printed out the receiver and a cut away of it as well. This is that story.
This is the printer that he bought.
After 3 hours of printing
After 5 hours and 20 minutes
After 9hours and 15 minutes the receiver is complete.
Three views of the receiver after printing is complete.
The computer solid model as it looks prior to printing.
The cut away model and some of the internal parts to allow testing of the model.
This is a video of the process and progress of this project.
