Cheap $99 Superbolt Halfblock...lol

[JoshGrrrr]

I like these guns.  I always have.  Now they sell for $99 new.  I halfblocked mine anyways.  I am in a machining program and am about a year into it.  I made this in my spare time:








The bolt, block, and pin were made from scratch.  The pump arm is just an old minicocker pump arm that I cut off and re-threaded.  I will put the detent in the bolt tomorrow to keep the pin locked in.  

All in all, it is a very easy mod if you have the right equipment.  In the future I am going to do them commercially.  I am too busy at the moment though.

wow hey that doesn't look bad at all! actually, I quite like it! hey could you buy one and halfblock it for me.  If they sell for 99$ new i'll pay you say 200$ for it?  I think you could get quite a business going on here.  I'm really interested in buying one if you have the time and parts to do it.

very good job, congratulations!

[JoshGrrrr]

I actually thought about that.  Those guns sell for $99.  Buy several, halfblock them, then sell them for $250  :lol:

is the slide made of alum. or Delrin?

[JoshGrrrr]

I thought I mentioned that in the first post.

The block, bolt, and pin top are all black delrin.

nice job. stock dye ripoff pneumatics= poo though.

[JoshGrrrr]

They are just as good as stock WGP pneumatics if you ask me.

But for 99 bucks can you really complain?  The body alone is worth that if you ask me.  I am doing some milling on an AKA Featherlight body for a guy, the Superbolt body is at least 15% lighter.

Very nice cocker.  I am seriously thinking of converting my system X to a halfblock.

So you gonna be doing this typr of work for others?  Or are you gonna keep it to yourself...LoL

[Imaginer123]

wow josh that is hot you should mill the back block a lil to more to follow lines of the body then it would rock so much

[CorMastar]

What are the specs you used for the milling?

[Supasuprabob]

how does the pin stay in place??? like how does the notch in it keep it in place?? i am going to make one, but need to know how it works, i cant find good pics.

[SummaryJudgement]

Wow.  That looks as clean as they come. Nice work!

[Supasuprabob]

nvm the pin is held in place by a set screw. Where can i get a bolt for a halfie though?? or will i be fine using b2k bolt?
