So, If I do not take the time to read and digest the above post, my jobs are junk? You guys fight the small stuff and I'll continue to make a part for an antique sparkplug tester.
You a comodian?Precisely the response I expected.![]()
haha, this all reminds me of an old saying here on the north coast...."You know the real reason lawyers use Latin?You a comodian?

So far as Stiller putting taper in the Viper, I have heard that too. I have heard it was only about .0003". Nothing I have seen would make me expect that tolerance to be held. And if it was that slight I doubt most gunsmiths would notice it let alone complain.

Just keep it in mind that behind every man made disaster are thousands of educated and over documented folk. It's unfortunate that in present day, that creative writing is an engineers most important trait. I asked you a simple question and 8 hours later you come up with .0002. That is not a reasonable explanation for your ~30% thread contact claim. Btw, what makes you so sure that the .0002 is from tension or compression, ie, the tenon or the action?TRA,
Sorry I wasted my time on you. I won't do it again. Fortunately, this is engineering I've done so many times that I was able to do it without reference in 10 minutes before I had coffee at 530 in the morning. Glad I didn't do anything that required real work. --Jerry
Yes, and your math clouded by alloys and heat treatments, surface treatments, surface finish, yada yada yada. It's been fun Jerry, you just need to learn to tolerate those of us less fortunate. Clips or mags?TRA. the .0002" is real. It's called physics, simplified by mechanical engineering. --Jerry
A clip is what holds my mag pouch on my belt.Clips or mags?
I"m no professor and I don't quote calculus off the top of my head, just a good ol' kentuc redneck; but I can read, and that .003 matches closely the .0025 taper suggested in Vaughn chapter 6 I had mentioned earlier. It's a 25 year old book, but I haven't heard of anyone else's research debunking him. I've also mentioned before, I'm not an engineer, machinist, or gunsmith, nor did I stay at a holiday inn express last night, but if the book has a lot of neat pictures, I can usually figure it out. If that action is tapered .003 and you cut a good straight tenon, it should shoot lights out.I don't know how much taper there actually was but it was closer to .003 than .0003.
If barrels are moving shot to shot you wouldnt know it by the aggs shot today. I love Vaughn's work and its a very interesting read, but I dont take it all as hard fact.
