[Kevin Gossett]

Those look incredible :thumbsup

 

[Trilogy]

Beautifully done, Marc.

Now if someone would make the Holy Shotgun.. Then yer talking..:behave

 

[LeMarchand]

small update:

Russ is currently lathing the slugs and i have the 10 shells etched. So start saving your pennies as this (very likely one time) run will be in the JY soon.

 

[Trilogy]

That's good to hear. :cool

 

[THURSBY]

Very impressive, question is what about the shotgun to "put" them in?

 

[LeMarchand]

If i ever get my much craved cnc mill, i might actually try to make one out of aluminium and brass. A prop like that is so labour intensive, you would be easily looking at $5-7K

 

[LeMarchand]

Russ should have the slugs done soon, can't wait to start on these

 

[LeMarchand]

Received the first 5 slugs today (of the 15 ordered). Sanded and polished the top and milled a hole in the bottom to see how they look.

 

[Mydnyghte]

Oh man, those are sexy. It looks like they will have a good weight to them. Fantastic work man!

 

[Endoskeleton]

Looking forward to this Marc.

 

[LeMarchand]

Made some fake primers from brass roundstock. Very happy with how these turned out

 

[Yellowjacket]

That's a very simple, elegant solution for the primers. I would have simply guessed 'primers' if I didn't know any better.

 

[LeMarchand]

My steel domingblock finally arrived. I use it (in combination with a large rubber hammer) to fold the shell over the slug as i don't have any reloading equipment.

After the folding, i buffed the fold on the buffing wheel to make it nice and smooth. Now i just need to nickel- and goldplate it.

expect to have a JY thread up in the coming week for 12 of these.

 

[Rymo]

Beautiful. Looks great!

 

[Rotaerc]

Amazing work you have done here!

 

[Noeland]

Fantastic. Just effin' fantastic!

 

[WireFox]

Wow, nice job on the etch work, cant wait to see it all done.

 

[LeMarchand]

goldplated one to see what a finished one would look like. Very happy with the endresult. Will post some pics tomorrow in daylight.

Junkyard FS thread will go live tomorrow and i will whip up another youtube video to show the entire process of production.
