Lee-Enfield Bolt Assembly

thingiverse

This my ltest project, building the mechanical parts of a Lee-Enfield, in order to build the wood stock and have the fully assembled rifle. This is made to work with my other part, the .303 British cartridge. WARNING: The parts need tweaks, if you are able to set all in place all should work pretty good. I tried to make the extraction system, but i'll have to work on it, for now i disabled it. The barrel end and the sight will be published after i'll finish the wood work :) If someone is interested i will update the files with some better ones. If you want to see the action there's the video down here :) Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Resolution: 0.2 Notes: Use supports for the main receiver, for the other parts should not be necessary Post-Printing WORK lol After print the main tweaks needed are: -Sanding just a bit all the pieces if they are rough -Enlarge the magazine well with a soldering iron with a flat point (or any way you prefer) -Tweak the bolt head's guide to make it slide onto the side After those should be all ok Bolt Head and .303 cartridge Bolt assembly Working of the assembly How I Designed This From sketch to solid I started taking photos of the side of the rifle and making a sketch onto them. From there i started modeling, and after lots of corrections here and there i came up with the final model. 3D model of the assembly First prototype of the magazine
