FAL locking shoulder machine jig
I keep sorting though my locking shoulders for FAL when headspacing.
You can file a couple thou but its getting where the only shoulders I have left are way to thick. So, my evening project build a fixture to machine locking shoulders. For me the trick part was measuring the exact angle between the lock surface and the locating ear. its 11 degrees. Actually I got 11 on two shoulders and 11.5 on another. See pic for my setup I then machined a block to hold the locking shoulder. Couple points on this jig. I made the locating ear stick up 1 RCH (red c$%^t hair) so the shoulder would clamp tight in the vice. I also made the block exactly 1 inch higher than the shoulder measurement. Then I can put a 1-2 mike on the shoulder in the jig and measure exactly where its at without removing from the mill. http://www.mwdropbox.com/dropbox/FAL...11_degrees.jpg http://www.mwdropbox.com/dropbox/FAL...achine_jig.jpg |
