Hey guys, Im working on a semi auto air rifle but having trouble drawing a blow forward breech design, but i have noticed that a phew people on here are very good at drawing designs and using cad. so my question is (drum roll...) Would it be possible if some one can draw me a design using cad or something else that has measurements so i can use for the build?
I have a Lathe (south bend model 9a made in 1942) a drill press, taps and dies, grinder, dremel and some other various tools.
I'm using this for BBs 6mm
hope im not being rude just asking for something but i need some help!

You're asking for plans...which are practically non existent here.

Try google images for "blow forward bolt", get a pencil and some paper.

A fella with a lathe should know how to do a quick "napkin sketch" and make a part from that. :)

You're probably thinking that you'll need some specific dimensions to get your blow-forward bolt to work, but if you under stand the concept you'll see it's very flexible. You should probably just eye-ball some designs around the forum to get an idea of how these things function, then you'll surely be able to draw something up. You won't need CAD either, a simple paint diagram should be sufficient

I always saw a blowforward bolt design as being limited to what pipes plugs and sleeves you have, I you should be fine with a pencil sketch

ok, well the last one i built didn't work to well, sometimes it would shoot 2 bbs at the one time or i didn't shoot right but hopefully i can whip up another plan.

Would there happen to be any links to a couple of pages with blow forward diagrams?

Why did you not take Gippeto's suggestion for Google?

But PS, that's the obvious solution. I'm not using it though.

lol let me rephrase that - I would make the wheels round but that's the obvious solution - I want them to be square

No, it's "I'd make the wheels nonagonal for a somewhat smoother ride, but for the circumstances a square wheel will suffice, and greatly decrease costs and labor."

And remember, I might end up making 10 of these a week, I don't want to be machining a feeding block that often.

You guy's don't get it, A potato cannon rarely has use for square wheels. :D
Either way I thought the wheels on the bus go round and round... not square and square :lol:
