The Ninja - Star Wars Vintage Parts Hunting & Props - UPDATE - Vintage Torsten Hallman GP Chest Protector

[newmagrathea]

If I can make any suggestion at all, I would make your vertical cut into the weldment “nub” about 1-2mm away from the booster vanes and then file the rest of the way toward the vanes. My experience has been that I then needed to make a horizontal cut through the weldment nub toward the vertical cut, and finally drilling down through the hole the weldment nub is above/is filling in the barrel jacket.

Thanks for the tip, they are always welcome.

Browning MKII Booster removal from the Barrel Sleeve

Update from Dustin newmagrathea

Dustin sent through WIP pics on the removal of the Booster from the Barrel Sleeve.

The weld was cleanly cut with a dremel with the Pin coming free with only gentle persuasion, the Booster needed some Zep45 to free up and then it unscrewed without any drama.

The remaining weld after some minor shaping.

After bluing of the weld.

I think Dustin did an amazing job, the Booster looks awesome and we were able to save the Barrel Sleeve so it can be used as a display

Sweet mother of mary...

i never knew that weld held a pin in the circular thing on the booster. Looks like mine was cut from a jacket as well, I was wondering why there were dremel marks on it, and why a glob of weld is on all these. huh haha

These are the pics taken by Markus OdiWan72 after removing the Barrel Sleeve from the MKII frame, from what I have been told I understand not all Barrel Sleeves had a Pin some Barrel Sleeve Pin Holes were filled with a large blob of weld securing the Booster.

Video - Booster Removal

 

[Halliwax]

Wow Dustin, that’s a epic video!! Had me on the edge of my seat!!

If you plan on doing more of these booster extractions i wonder if a strap wrench would make things easier for you? It’s got a rubber belt so you wouldn’t have to put leather in the clamp

I’m a huge fan of your videos and hope you make this a regular thing “booster extraction series”

 

[russellsch]

Epic is right! What a great video.
Thanks Dustin. I loved watching the booster come free.
Congrats Ninja, on this legendary piece.

 

[newmagrathea]

I've seriously thought about buying one. It seems more and more that I need one.

 

[Halliwax]

I seriously hope Dustin makes this a “thing” and documents each one

Love his videos
