BP Designs: 3D Solid Modeling: Mauser-style Action

Sunday, July 15, 2012

Mauser-style Action

3/4 view with cantilevered scope rail. The aluminum bedding block/bottom metal is also visible.

Close-up of the non-rotating extractor.

Rear view showing the 2-position safety (seen in the "fire" position).

Wider view showing the angular underside. This profile was modeled off the AICS, so this action should fit that stock. The only possible change is to widen the action screw holes (action screws are 5/32").

This is my idea for a Mauser-style bolt action. The external styling is somewhat similar to the M1917 Enfield. My action retains the external, non-rotating extractor from the Mauser. The blade ejector has been moved to 45 degrees down, so as not to cut the left locking lug in half.

3D Design at a Glance

I created this blog to showcase my work. I create 3D solid models using Autodesk Inventor. These models can be used for production in conjunction with proper equipment. The models I create are not only for my personal use, but for customers.

If you would like a model and/or drawings created, please do the following:

1) Post and/or e-mail me about your project

2) Send me an e-mail with drawings of what you want modeled

3) Agree to terms and conditions (I am drafting a terms and conditions sheet. Once complete, I will attach it as a reply to your e-mail.)

What I will do:

1) Once the drawings are received, I will review them and respond if I have any questions.

2) I will provide an estimate for the length of time I feel is necessary for completion.

3) The price for the work is based upon an hourly rate. I reserve the right to change this rate at any time.
4) Once the work is complete, I will send an e-mail with the actual amount of time spent on the project. I make every effort to stay within my estimate. The amount due will never exceed the high end of the estimate.

5) Once payment is received via PayPal, I will e-mail the deliverables (models, drawings, etc) within 24 hours (as to account for time changes and the like)

3D Modeling and my Life

I started using Autodesk Inventor in high school and have continued to do so in university. My 3D work expanded with my membership in GrabCAD, a forum and library for CAD models. This is where I gained the exposure which ultimately led to my first contract. While neither an engineer nor a gunsmith, firearms have always fascinated me, and as such, have become my subject of choice. I am continuing to learn everything I can on the subject, so any input is greatly appreciated.

My work here is secondary to my "job" as a chemistry student in university, which is why I can only provide hourly estimates.

If you are interested, feel free to e-mail me for rates, terms, and conditions.
