Have you ever dreamed of owning an actual Gatling gun? Offering blueprints and 3-D CD's to build.22 caliber Gatling guns. Guns built by these plans are. Last month I purchased a number of documents among which were these blueprint & schematic drawings of the Gatling Gun. This document measures.

Loctite 609 is a very good bonding agent for installing 5/16' dia. Liners in any kind of 22 RF barrel. I have done about 15 barrels in several different guns. I use a piloted 8mm drill to open up the bores and then push in the liner vertically while keeping a puddle of 609 at the entry point.

It has a low viscosity and capillary action will insure the available space will be filled with liquid. A few hours of cure time and you are ready to finish the machining. Much easier than soldering or epoxy and clean up is a snap. Actually, almost any grade of anaerobic thread locker will work in this application because of the large surface area.

However, Loctite 609 is specifically formulated for bonding cylindrical parts. Just be sure the bores and liners are clean before starting. For the RGG Gatling gun, I used 1/2' OD x.095' wall DOM steel tubing for the barrels with Brownells' liners. It worked out very well.

After the barrels were crowned, you could not see the demarcation between the tubing and liner. RWO- Have you completed and shot your gun yet? If so, how did the barrels do? I am asking because I read on the RGG site where the barrels got to hot on the Gatling guns that they only reccomend solder for the liners. I am getting ready to build one and am just looking for info and feedback from those who have made them. Any expereince firing your would be greatly appreciated! I will probably just use barrels instead of liners, but do what to know what my options are I bought the RG-G plans back in '02 and still have not started my Gatling gun.

I am going to order the D&E plans and look at them side by side and then figure out which way I want to go. On the caliber issue, the guy who made the D&E model said that it was easy to make them a.22LR and folks have done that with his plans. I have the RGG plans and a pile of materials waiting for the time when I can get out into the garage without freezing my butt off. Soldering in a liner is not that hard. Having an extra set of hands is nice though. Uncle played a torch on the barrel and I did the same on the liner. Brownells has a pdf on how to do it.

The first try at relining a Visible Loader was a success for me. Solder is removable too. BTW, loctite is pretty impressive, I don't want to knock it for lower temp use. I put some red on a nut and bolt that where just assembled loose and a week later it put up some serious resistance to my attempt to unscrew it. How it holds up temperatures from sustained firing (Yeah Baby) is another thing though. I was not a convert to adhesives until last year.

I will freely admit that I am old fashioned and conservitive in my ways. But Loc-Tite's Black Max is an incredible substance!!! It does not come close to replacing my beloved solder in every application, but when used appropriately that stuff is the bomb! If you have not tried Black Max yet, I can heartily reccomend it. BTW-if it is not too personal of a question, about how much is the material for the gun?

With the current metal prices, i am afraid to hear it. Mcedit 1.7.3 on this page. Also, is there a material take off list for the RGG plans where all required materials and quanitites are listed on one page? I have been looking through my plans this week and did not see an MTO. BTW-if it is not too personal of a question, about how much is the material for the gun? With the current metal prices, i am afraid to hear it.Well, so far I have spent 400 bucks with and have just about all the metal except for the carriage. If you use an online supplier, play with the lengths.

They embed the cut charge into the prices of materials and often a few feet of something is near the same price as the exact length you need. All bets off on brass When I get to the carriage, I'm thinking of using steel instead of brass for the hubs and tires. Brownels got 166.16 for the liners (I get a ffl discount for having an CR FFL), and McMasters managed to snag 175.00 off of me.

Those two gears are 40 bucks a pop. Also, is there a material take off list for the RGG plans where all required materials and quantities are listed on one page? I have been looking through my plans this week and did not see an MTO.I just went though the descriptions pages and started jotting down a buy list. Based on what stock you have on hand your stock list will vary.
