Kompleted Krikit 25 (Самодельный пистолет )

[@raggedjack4253]

Really nice, man. Love seeing projects like these coming together!

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+RaggedJack Thanks. That worked out better than expected.

[@n8rev156]

Wow! This pistol looks so professional and clean. Most home manufactured guns look crude, but not this one. Much better quality than the production potmetal 25 autos. I wish I had the skill you have!

[@clintonwestwood5498]

Thanks. Not so much skill maybe but an almost infinite amount of patience and over thinking every step and operation. Lots of mistakes that I see on this one:(

This is the best looking and functioning "modern" home made i have seen. Nice work! By "modern" i am saying anything that is not loaded from the front :) I have seen many amazing muzzle loaders. That said, this is a very well crafted piece. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us.

Fantastic job brother. The best pistol build on KZbin.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

And KZbin wants to shut me down :-(

That was a great and epic built. One of the finest scratch-built guns ever. Congratulations my friend and thanks to share it with us! :)

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Luís Pita This build has certainly occupied my mind and hands over the last couple of months.I started with low expectations and slowly developed appreciation for the design. I learned a great deal which will allow me to go into the next project with more confidence. Thanks for all the supporting comments. I will be starting a new project shortly.

[@bossrokstarv4020]

Very amazing project sir, Very clean and well made design its a beautiful gun and im not jocking but you are the first person ive ever seen in youtube that teach you how to build a homemade pistol congratulations.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

Yup, and South Korea complained and youtube is removing my videos from monetization. It's happening to other builders as well.

[@rdtradecraft]

Very professional looking build. Just goes to show that homemade guns constructed using basic tools don't have to look like they were bodged together in an episode of Junkyard Wars.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Robert Donovan I loved that show.

You, my good sir, are truly a master at your craft. If I wasn't a dirt-poor college kid, I'd commission one of these in a heartbeat.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

I wish I could actually sell them, alas, I cannot.

[@JamesPolymer]

That's right, I forgot about all the restrictions on selling modern firearms. That stinks. =/ Would it be possible to _barter_ for one, I wonder? Say, a custom gun for a new machining tool (or tools)? Or even a custom gun for a retail gun worth about the same amount considering material and labor? I'm probably thinking too hard about this...screw it, a guy can dream. =)

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Atimatik Army As always, I was overly optimistic on the time to complete. I think my brain does that sub-consciously so that'll actually start a project. If I knew at the beginning of some build, how long it would "really" take, I probably wouldn't bother:)

Amazing, I've watched you make this, and it turned out better than I expected. PS I would love to see you knock a few shots off at something.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+SiCoope Yes, I'm working on it. I attempted a Kaulkinator vs Krikit shoot off on Saturday but got weathered out. It'll happen, this little gun is a hoot to shoot.

+jordan horst Oh no, no, no! This is just the beginning. The things I've learned will translate into the next build. Maybe not as extensively published, because that would just be repeats. But I've got a new build planned. This channel will never be a prolific, new-build-a-week thingie, but it will continue on in the spirit of DIY garage junk.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+My Line in the sand I'm working my head around an alloy frame, sheet metal slide 1911 lookalike. Chambered in .380, I'll call it the "Kolt 1191" :)

[@jimkey920]

I respect and admire your attention to detail. There were a couple of things I would do differently. decrease the angle on the feed ramp. Install a spring on the firing pin. Adjust the hammer contact with the firing pin do that it just makes minor contact. Angle the grip to space the rounds a bit. My dad taught me to use cigarette papers as shims when rifling. I used Bugler papers. I found your rail construction to be absolutely marvelous. I would ordinarily braze such a design. Fantastic video! ##### Five Stars

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Jim Key Actually, some of your suggestions have been incorporated. I shorted the firing pin so that there is very little travel or protrusion when the hammer is down. I added a very small return spring on the FP as I suspect that it sometimes causes the spent case from ejecting due to interference with it and the extractor. After installation, the issue went away. I used thin paper to shim the rifling cutter. Do cigarette papers in sight:( I'm quite happy with the feed ramp now. The rounds feed smoothly and reliably. Did you see this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4LPqpyqhKx3i8k Thanks for the comments.

[@jimkey920]

Clinton Westwood Yes, Clint I watched every one of the videos and appreciate the logic and your ability to project needed changes before they actually appear. My Father was a machinist and I was good by at it by age 16. . I was most impressed with your rails. I would not have thought in that direction.. I am now 76 and dealing with life's issues. I am beginning to think about building a, "My Friend Knuckle Duster" with a molded Brass frame. In .22 Short.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

Thank you so much for the kind comments. You must have had some wonderful opportunities with a father/machinist. My own father let his five little boys free run of his workshop. We cut so much expensive wood up into useless pieces that we thought were great airplanes or birdhouses. He graduated us to handheld power tools as we each grew older and we respected him enough to never cheat. Eventually we were given the keys to the table saw, the most dangerous tool in the shop. Nobody ever got injured. To this day and we are all active with our hands.

[@Tater79bj]

Truly inspirational work Clinton. You definitely have a knack for detail. I hit a snag on mine. The fire control group was too large for the frame :( I completely forgot about canceling the print job and few pages in due to low ink when I printed it the first time. When I resumed, I forgot to check the scale! Oh well, lesson learned. I cut out a new one this evening, and began assembly. That is pretty much why I have not uploaded a new video yet. I'm back on track now though, and hope to have a new one up by this weekend.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Tater79bj WHAT? You messed up? I NEVER had to build a second piece, EVER. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink:)

I realize this series is long over and you've moved on to bigger/better build(s). But I can't stop watching it. So much so, that I've decided to start a version of the MK.3 as well (carved out the frame plates today). My video skills aren't too keen, so I'm not sure if there will be a video on my channel or not. Been watching the videos by tater97bj, and Waffenschmiedin x.

Luv that you chose to do the build in 6.35mm instead of 22lr I know people like 22 because the ammunition is much cheaper but truthfully i have always looked at it like if you really need a small autoloader you want to know that it is going to be reliable and always going to go bang when you pull the trigger and you can't be sure that will happen 100% with rimfire... hope that you are working on something as cool as the Kricket... for the next one

[@clintonwestwood5498]

Thanks for the kind comments. Are you positive it would be illegal in Canada. I've been told by a viewer that a person can own handguns in Canada, however the restrictions are very high. I know that Australia and Britain are much more restricted, if not prohibited.

[@Tytanium]

+Clinton Westwood We can own handguns but the way things work here is there are 3 classes of firearms , restricted, non restricted and prohibited . Some people here have a prohib class on their license but were grandfathered that privilege because they owned a prohib back before the rules initially changed so they were allowed to keep it and were given that status and now they can still possess prohib but if they ever forget to renew or they no longer own any prohibs then they lose that status and can never get it back . They class firearms here based on barrel length mostly but there is also a lot of stupid stuff too like not being able to take a restricted semi auto rifle into the woods but a non restricted is totally ok, even tho they both function exactly the same . some firearms here are classed the way that they are just because "they look scary".

[@clintonwestwood5498]

Interesting. Have you investigated if you can build what you can legally own? If you can own a restricted firearm, can you build it under "restrictions"? 

[@Tytanium]

[@bananapotpie3890]

Clinton Westwood I like it.. I wouldn't mind being able to do that.. I have one option.. Lots if sanding.. :).. Or ugliness.. Usually ugliness

[@JasonDoege]

I didn't see in your videos, how did you drill your barrel?

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Jason Doege The barrel started life as a tube. 1045 DOM. I just reamed to size. That was an easy operation.

[@ShapelyHips]

Are you still around to take questions if I was trying to build a pair of my own for fun?

[@williwonti]

Better than anything out of the Khyber pass that's for sure. Can't wait to see the .380. Are you going to switch the design up a little bit?

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+williwonti Absolutely. It will still be a garage tool build, but probably a solid alloy frame. Less sheet metal, more solid stuff. Oh, and bigger.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

+Clinton Westwood At that point you mind as well go straight up to 9mm. If hi point can do it with 45ACP on a alloy frame, your build should be more than strong enough for "regular" subcalibers.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Dave Smith Baby steps man, baby steps:)

[@williwonti]

Dave Smith 9mm is actually more dangerous to make than .45 believe it or not

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

+Clinton Westwood Its your call. Heck, you have more huevos to actually put your builds online. I live in a *ahem* "regressive" state, so I am only comfortable with building for myself and showing others how to in person. +williwonti 9mm runs at a higher pressure according to SAAMI specs due to the loading being adjusted for newer and more efficient modern powders and better firearms. However, the bolt thrust (what is largely responsible for out of battery kabooms in blowbacks) is still smaller than the 45 ACP. With a generous chamber wall, 9mm is very safe. You would need a heavier slide to run a 45 than a 9mm or even 40S&W

[@grahamhawes7089]

Amazing, man. Two questions: 1) What did you use for the barrel? Was it explicitly a gun barrel blank? 2) Straight blowback, right? Does that mean you'd need a pretty heavy slide if you moved to higher-pressure cartridges/calibers?

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Graham Hawes First question answered in your previous comment. Correct, straight blowback. Once you get beyond .380, the slide mass increases substantially. Certainly not an impossible situation, but my preference would be for another method of keeping the overall weight down. I will do one more in .380 as blowback, then move up to some delayed locking method. I'm learning as I go and want to stay within the limits of my tooling. I will do other builds in a different venue using real machine tools, but this channel remains the "primitive" one:)

[@grahamhawes7089]

+Clinton Westwood Very cool. I hadn't done the math for slide mass but it makes sense that 9x19 would be a pretty significant increase. Locked action will be a pretty big step up in complexity, I think. I've been trying to figure out the easiest system. Linked tilting-barrel 1911 style would be one choice, but I wonder if a cammed system like in the Hi-Power would be easier to troubleshoot. Unfortunately I don't have a Hi-Power or Glock to disassemble and check out in detail, just a 1911.

[@stringmovies]

is your gun exactly matches to the pdf? i mean thickness and gauges of the sheets?

[@callove6352]

Hello friend, what is the diameter of the pipe you used to make this pistol?

[@coburnlowman]

Where are the plans for building these guns? I love doing machine shop projects but never build a complete pistol before. Just small fixes on guns like making new firing pins, or drill n tapping scope mounts , or making grips , stocks. I have been wanting to build a complete one for quite a long time.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

The link to the plans are in each of the description of the video. Or, here you go... www.mediafire.com/view/8ddbm8v1fxb3899

[@flat-earther]

Phil I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@sirorlandodecorsica6210]

Oh my my!

[@smithtomthefroginthewell7931]

beautyful

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Very nice pistol. Now what are you going to build next? A sheet metal AK?

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

+Clinton Westwood I will certainly follow that.

[@TheMiseriaCantare]

+Clinton Westwood Or Cold :)

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Ragnar “Hagal” Selvik How about Kolt-elevenish. Or just Kolt11.

[@RavemastaJ]

+Clinton Westwood Nah, make it a full Chinese knock-off. Call it the Kolt-Mouser 1119

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+ravemastaj That's pretty good, I think I'm going to steal that one. Yoink!

[@M.Begley]

Great 👍 Video thank you :) I LOVE THE GRIPS! may I ask where you got them from or what they are of off ❤️ kind regards 😎

[@miloradowicz]

It was answered in other vids or in the photo log. Check out the links in description. iirc it was a bath mat or something 😆

[@callove6352]

friend could back the videos of the manufacture of the 25mm krikit, they are private. I need to see a detail thank you

[@clintonwestwood5498]

Yes, I'll find a place to host them

[@christianmarian112]

Why metal sheet is not recommended for making frames and slide and extraction mechanism for Cals higher than .22? And what type of material to make that for 9mm or .36 even a .28

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+christian marian The higher stresses just require stronger methods. Sheet metal can be utilized for any firearm, however assembly, material and quality of welding becomes important. Mild steel is only useful for the smaller less powerful cartridges, IMO.

[@user-if6fk4ys4p]

Дружище Привет! Скажи размеры данного изделия!❤

[@cooperdavis9663]

wold there be a way to scale up the design for a larger cartridge such as 380, 9mm, or 45ACP?

[@clintonwestwood5498]

A heavier slide would be necessary for a .380. That's the biggest I'd go. In fact, working on it now.

[@ihsandurmus4188]

How can we get the templates of the pistols you made?

[@FlunkTVGaming]

is this a homemade version of the FIE titan 25?

[@sharivan31]

Hello, great and amazing job :) why not have chosen to do in 22lr ??

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+sharivan31 The difficulty for me is the rimmed cartridge. I had enough problems with a semi-rimmed .25 acp. The feed issues are more difficult with .22's. I may someday work on this when I become more skilled.

[@flyboymike111357]

I could see that having a longer barrel to make up for the crude sights.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Mike Mac The plans didn't even have provision for sights. The crude additions are mine alone.

[@flyboymike111357]

Clinton Westwood Would regular sights even be possible?

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Mike Mac Yes, wouldn't be an issue. But, I'm on to better things:) This build was the learning tool to other things.

[@flyboymike111357]

Clinton Westwood Ah, fair enough.

[@flat-earther]

Mike Mac I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@nickfodness7321]

what did you use for the barrel

[@apjmeredith]

kongratulations! (see what I did there) you have done an amazing job and I applaud you

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+Acer -A Fantastik, I did see what you did there:)

[@apjmeredith]

[@davidplatenkamp]

I'd like to see a homemade Madsen or other simple SMG.

[@clintonwestwood5498]

+David Platenkamp SMG's are intriguing, however I will only do legal builds. I have way too much to lose.

[@davidplatenkamp]

+Clinton Westwood I should have specified semi auto. Is it not legal to manufacture an open bolt semi auto rifle? Anyway, these things seem to lend themselves well to garage builds. The pistol turned out great, I enjoyed watching the project come along.
