oxy-acetylene welding

Get a copper pipe coupling at home depot or the local hardware store. Its the perfect thickness and it can be used over and over. Should be about $2.00.... I guess that would be $10 Canadian, eh?

With our economy, give or take about that ! I'll have to take a look, i'm bound to have some scrap copper stuff lying around the shop, i'll just ask my teacher.

I spoke too soon about my build. It turns out the nose piece is canted down and to the right. Must have drawn up when I welded it. So, back to my good welder to have him straighten that section, too.

Better hang on to the jig a bit longer! Sorry to hear it moved in cooling. ---bil

No Bil, that was for my 42. The 34 turned out perfectly. I'll post photos when I have time.

[Bil]

Whew! The 42 is much easier to fix-glad to hear the 34 is good! ---bil

I'm gonna try to test fire it tomorrow.

Good Luck at the range
