However, Loctite 609 is specifically formulated for bonding cylindrical parts. Just be sure the bores and liners are clean before starting.įor the RGG Gatling gun, I used 1/2' OD x. 095' wall DOM steel tubing for the barrels with Brownells' liners. After the barrels were crowned, you could not see the demarcation between the tubing and liner. There are a few considerations to making a 22mag/ 17 cal version of the gattlin. It will take a lot of modification to function. The stroke of the bolts has to increase to chamber and eject the longer shell, that changes the cams, reciever and quite a few other parts. The extractors and all feed devices will have to be modified for the larger diameter cartrage. The change in length will make the cams steeper and the gun may not function smoothly unless you increase the diameter of the recever to compensate. You wont know on that one untill you try it.Īnother consideration is that you are increasing the pressure of the cartrage and the chamber diameter. The gatlin plans you have reverenced are for 22 short or long rifle, and the barrels are fairly small in diameter. You will need to check the stresses in the barrel and all locking components before undertaking this kind of change. The 22 mag is a longer cartrage, so it will have more of a tendency to lean forward and bind.
