DIY Dovetail Front Sight on a 22 Derringer - Practical Scrap Metal Small Arms vol 7 - Model 2

[@tazzhungry]

I really enjoyed watching you make that site ramp & you made the dovetail that’s neat. 😊

[@jimafcarbon4433]

@tazzhungry thank you. It's a time consuming process for sure. But I am very happy with the results !

[@JasonValadezVEVO]

This is pretty rad. I'm gathering the materials to make a .38 special version myself. Awesome work bro 👌

[@jimafcarbon4433]

I'd love to see it. Post a video !

[@gunsnwater2668]

I only had a hacksaw a chisel and a triangular file to cut my dovetails. Mill looks nice. Jealous.

[@jimafcarbon4433]

Honestly it's only a little faster most of the time. It does separate you from the work a little though. I still enjoy lathe and mill work a lot. But there's times a file is just the right tool. No matter how long it takes.

I really like this gun you made. How come I can't find your earlier videos?@@jimafcarbon4433

I’d do anything to have this skill this is amazing truly a lost art form due to modern times

[@jimafcarbon4433]

Thank you. Most would say it's a waste of time. The few who appreciate the time, effort and skill are rare.

[@BLACK_FORTYFIVE]

@@jimafcarbon4433 I wouldn’t believe this nowhere near wasting time I believe commenting something negative about someone enjoying a hobby or art form is wasting time, how did you learn how to do this tho?

[@jimafcarbon4433]

@BLACK_FORTYFIVE the plans for this came from "Professor Parabellum's Practical Scrap Metal Small Arms vol 7" this is Model 2. From there, it's just getting comfortable with the tools and processes. It's a learning process for sure. The first one isn't typically the best. But just look at it as a lesson learned more than a failure. Use what you learned, improve upon it and do better on the next one.

[@BLACK_FORTYFIVE]

@@jimafcarbon4433 that’s awesome man I hope you continue to make sick guns like these it’s amazing

@BLACK_FORTYFIVE thank you, and I most definitely will. I have a few more started. And a few other projects in the works. All in due time !

Brother?🤔 No, we're brothers, I think that makes them cousins. 🤘🏼 I haven't "named" any of these, but the family favorite with the eye catching brass.

[@quinton3997]

What metal are you useing for the barrel and where are you finding the riffle sleeve

[@jimafcarbon4433]

The steel was a random drop of stainless I picked up from a local scrap outlet. The rifling was done with a rifling button. Ebay seems to be the best source.

Hola buen día bendiciones para ti hermoso proyecto quería hacerte una pregunta por favor si podrías decirme cómo hago para que la aguja percutora me trabaje bien Estoy haciendo un proyecto artesanal y unas veces me dispara y otras veces no Podrías darme un consejo bien explicado porfa sobre la aguja y el y la forma que debe tener

[@jimafcarbon4433]

The keys are to get the most power from the spring possible. And have a smooth action for the hammer and spring that does not bind or catch. As for the shape, it should be as sharp as possible without cutting or piercing the casing. You can see that shape here kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4jYiKyFdtl2d8k

[@emmanuelmazo204]

Te agradezco infinito en la tarde que tenga tiempo lo miro Y si algo te consulto alguna duda más por cierto tus trabajos Son hermosos en mi caso no tengo experiencia y es la primera que hago artesanal lo que estoy haciendo es para disparar cartuchos de fogueo de pistola de clavos sabes si hay alguna diferencia entre estos cartuchos industriales y los 22 lr normales

[@jimafcarbon4433]

@emmanuelmazo204 happy to help if I can. As for the differences, the industrial may take more force to set off or ignite. But only s little more force. Otherwise they are nearly identical.

[@emmanuelmazo204]

Okay bye gracias por tus valiosos consejos me pondré a ello Muchas gracias si algo te consulto otra vez

This gun is easily 200 hours of work. Even if I charged $1/hour, very few people would even consider spending that for one of these. And they shouldn't. They are really cool home builds. And the joy of owning and shooting one is from knowing YOU built it yourself.

I just spent 20 hours making the front sight ! On something this small, they aren't necessary really. But as for esthetics, I think they look better, more complete with a sight.

[@warrior-0f-light]

​@@jimafcarbon4433It's a reference to an old joke about a cowboy who shot a lot and had other cowboys put a revolver in his anus and rotate it. He lived to be an old man, and advised the young cowboy to cut the fly off in advance if he was going to shoot in inappropriate places. That's a rough translation.

[@jimafcarbon4433]

@warrior-0f-light as terrible as that is, it makes more sense now. Legend has it, the American cowboy gunfighters of the old west filed their sights down to make drawing their revolvers from holsters faster. "Clear the leather" faster.

[@warrior-0f-light]

​@@jimafcarbon4433It was a joke comment. We often joke, hinting that the larger the gun, the more painful it is to pull it out of your own ass. This is a “meme” that Russians have. Don't be surprised by jokes about the fly. It's funny that most pranksters have never fired a gun. We all love Clint Eastwood and stories about cowboys)
