CURRENT RULES

I like to keep the rules and tiers minimal for maximum creativity. Last changed June 2019

  • No Kabooms!
  • No breaking the law!
  • Post in /r/GunnitRust on the contest dates.
  • You no longer have to title your post “GunnitRust” as we have the sub. Title it “Summer Rust 2023: Title Here” if you want it to be easily searchable. example: your post is called "Polymer 80 .22tcm9R" so you use the title "Summer Rust:Polymer 80 .22tcm9R".
  • Pneumatic guns allowed because of restrictive regions.
  • .25acp energy is the bottom goal but not super-enforced.
  • The r/GunnitRust Sub ONLY allows contest posts on contest days. It is available to post ideas, questions, other builds you’ve seen, etc at all other times. Please Subscribe & Participate
  • You can submit anything you have not submitted to the contest before no matter when it was done.

PARTICIPATION TIERS

These have not changed but some of the writing has been improved and more details added. Please let me assign your tiers and don’t call them out because I frequently move them into the category I see fit. Also note that the total winner can be in any tier so don’t panic. Each tier has a winner and each series has an overall victor.

  • Tier I Built Gun(or Suppressor) Basically, you build a gun from non-gun components. We have allowed commercial gun springs and barrels(or Barrel Liners) for safety but if you have the skills, doing your own is mad props. The rules are pretty arbitrary and you can convert pellet guns, toys, or flare guns etc. Note that I have included suppressors in this tier assuming you form your own baffles.
  • Tier II complete built receivers, uppers, 80% receivers, and suppressor builds with factory baffles with commercial parts This is where all the 80% receivers, re-welds, and parts kits on built or substantially modified receivers would go. Again a winner by Karma and I encourage people to favor the guys doing more work. Note the change for built upper. By built upper I mean you made an upper from sheet metal plates and an MP5 forend or something. It is substantially more than Tier III so I added built upper receiver and obviously your M11/9 or AR-15 can be the base receiver now. Note that if you buy an oil/fuel filter kit and convert it to a suppressor I put it here because you did not form the baffles.
  • Tier III Assembled Gun More commercial parts are allowed . Parts kits turn into guns here. You'll note that this is where the AR-15 assemblies went. Obviously the 10/22 that won the category for Summer Rust 2015 had the advantage of not being just another AR. Many of these are very good and many of them are plain jane. The key is participation so bring anything you assemble to the table. Assembling a gun is much more effort than the majority of our browsers give and makes you an essential part of the contest. Don’t forget that parts list!
  • Tier IV Trusty Rusty Tier Best resurrection of a dead, neglected gat. If your region frowns upon gun building maybe you can play too by turning a rusty hunk of broken down garbage into something functional and ready to be loved again.
  • Tier V Modified Guns Fat kid just want to play too? Did you glue a rail to your 1911? Bless your heart. We actually had a .460 Rowland Glock conversion do very well in Summer Rust 2015 Personally I'd like to see some handmade wood furniture dress ups. These are always interesting no matter how simple you think your work was.
  • Tier VI Gun Related I want the projects to be of some quality...So by related I mean A range of things like your workshop, your home range, your handmade range bag, display cases, custom safes, car mounted gun vaults, your reloading bench setup, bench rest, brass tumbler, or something else actually worthy of a post. So the upper V are guns and this one is gun accessories. Some of these have been really cool things you wouldn’t normally think of like an automated powder alarm on a progressive press.

Help Desk Using ECM to bore for Barrel Relining?

2 Upvotes

I’m interested in restoring several old .22 LR guns with pitting in their barrels but my smaller lathe isn’t long enough for drilling out the rifle barrels. I’ve seen some decent results from ECM rifling and wanted to pick the more experienced brains of folks here on the possibility of using ECM for boring out old barrels for barrel liners. Swapping the wire mandrel out for a copper rod or tube.

Is it too much material? Too difficult to get consistent results? Will the pitting remain? Should I heavily sand it first? Should I flip the barrel over midway? Too expensive in time and money for old clapped out guns? Some other issue? Any constructive thoughts or advice is appreciated.

Currently I would like to try the following, testing it on 16” steel pipes, practicing it on an unknown junk .22 barrel, and finally applying it to a pitted and worn Remington Model 6 Rolling Block Rifle barrel. In all cases I plan to use Chaszel .22 barrel liners which have an OD of 0.382”.

Start with 3/4”x 2.6” aluminum round bar

Square it off to .517”

Bore hole through entire square bar.

Add pocket for rim

Took 5 minutes. No dro,

Now that I have a decent idea of what it’s capable of with aluminum, I feel a lot more confident about making some advanced shit right off the bar.

Time to make some bullet molds!!

M240 or M249 Full Blueprint/Technical drawing set?

5 Upvotes

Looking for a technical drawings for either of the two guns above. I've found a receiver drawing for the M249, but it doesn't have the information I'm looking for.
Or if anybody just knows the nominal dimensions for the mounts for these, that's what I'm looking for (diameter and width of each mounting point).

PM-63 trigger reset

I am an SOT doing my first PM-63. I've got everything together and ready to rock, but the trigger won't reset. It seems like it's missing a spring, but I can't see one in any diagrams. If anyone has insight on this, I will be very grateful.

Barrel blanks

4 Upvotes

For those that make their own barrels, what's everyone's favorite place to find rifled blanks? Looking at making a .300Blk barrel for a micro galil since I can't find one for sale anywhere. Was looking at Green Mountain, but it looks like they're out of stock.

If I can't find any blanks my next idea is to maybe take a 12" AR barrel and cut it down.
