Does anyone have a photo of the inside (water jacket side) of a 1917a1 bronze trunnion and end cap that they might be willing to share ?

Thanks in advance,

I'll Take that as a "no". I guess I'll have to fake it.

What exactly are you wanting to know? I have taken a half a dozen of them apart to raise dents from the waterjacket. Even though no one has a pic, if you ask your question someone might be able to give you some helpful advice beforueyou "fake" something up

I have mine apart at the receiver end. I am about to go on vacation, but I can try to snap a few from that angle if it helps when I get back. I don't plan on taking the front off to do the work I have planned.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I have my tube about done and I'm just starting to work on the programs to do the trunnion and end cap. I have studied the diagrams on the browningmgs site at length and they are a huge help.
You know the old saying, " A picture is worth a thousand words". I have machined a lot of old airplane parts for customers where I had the original 1940's drawings and whenever I also have the original part or a photo of it the job seems to go easier. It always helps to know " what it looks like".

I currently have the endcap off of one I am working on. I can get you pics of that, however I dont remove the trunion end usually. These things are soldered so I only remove the necessecary end to get in and raise the dents. I will put up some pics later on.

I will put up some pics later on.

Thank you very much, in advance.

It does, very much. Now I can get back to programming the CNC.

Thank you so much for your time.
