Hi,
I'm newly registered but been perusing the site for sometime now.
Going to intro my post to avoid unnecessary dialog.
First, I am WELL AWARE that making any firearm that one cannot legally purchase NEW places it in the category of NFA item or outright not legal. Anyone who wants to skirt the intentions of my post, please don't go down this path with me. I have no intention of building a full auto piece of kit, period, no question, none. Do I want to know and have in my possession all the variant possibilities that the weapon COULD BE operated and has been built historically, YES, I do, for reference purposes. Old sage finger wagers need not apply nor respond to this post with admonitions and questions of intent. No matter what anyone has replied historically here to those conversations, the end result is always silence or a regurgitation of law and ATF spook lore coming to people's doors. I'm not building, they shall not come.
Second, I am interested in the open bolt original design, not the later third part closed bolt function weapon. The original .45 model M-10 is the focus of my search, but if anyone has .380 or 9mm variant answers to my question, please do chime in, beggars can't be choosers, and I can do math, plus I'm not building one, so I can infer what I need from information I already have on all three models.
Okay, so, THE QUESTION (there are two):
Does anyone is exacting schematics for the bolt of a M10, to include the the extractor assembly? Seems like a odd sticking point, but I really wan to be as close to the original.
I have seen and collected a number of image links to M10 bolts, and I prefer the simple original to some of the later "lightened" models, but, again, beggars cannot be choosers, if you have some spec for a modernized bolt tat is the proper receiver interior dimensions, I'll take it. Like I said before, I can figure out what I need to if I feel I have enough information at hand.
Second question:
For the love of all that is good in this world, how is it that something that has a patent in the public domain for so long has next to no available content online in terms of specs, schematics, and blueprints. I am up to my gills in receivers, upper and lower, trigger assemblies (legal and otherwise), magazines, the list is endless. It is except for one thing and one thing only, THE BOLT. Why is this thing such a unicorn? The lower of the weapon contains the trigger assembly and what makes it semi or not. It's a mind boggling. I can find how to make the selective fire assembly online, but I can't find a stupid bolt. Is there some sort of mystique or special cache about this gun part that has made it a jealously guarded secret?
