Blackthumb Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Was ready to make more last week and found a whole box of 5/8 x 1 1/2 red tubes marked M80.....from the 60's. Think they have collector value so I won't use them for getters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheArchitect23 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) since we are doing show and tell finally got around to getting my go-getters perfect.credit goes to blackthumb for the idea, dag for the delrin support, and flat rammer.for my pointed rammer i didnt have access to a metal lathe, however el cheep-o wood lathe chisels from HF work great for slowly spinning off aluminum.finished off to 1800 grit. chucked up in the drill press, pressed out 50 inserts in less than 1 hour.

Mumbles Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Most end burners were made in a different manner for practically all of existence up until very recently. A piece of black match or thermolite was placed into the tube, and the composition was made into a slurry and squirted in. It was pretty much the same sorts of formulas people are using now, either strontium/barium nitrate or AP based relatively high metal fueled compositions bound with parlon. These were wetted with acetone, or more preferably a mixture of acetone and xylene. The fuse burned away and made it's own core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
