I would buy these. It's impossible to find this platform without the grip safety.
@@thomasvmanning check out atlas or Fowler . Both have models with the safety being non functional and blended into the frame/grip
Is there anywhere I can go to see your removed stuff? Discord maybe? I just got a Syil in my garage and I really wanted to check out these fabled videos :(
Thanks for your insights - you have convinced me that we need an Integrex type machine in the shop. We run a number of large machines but all but one are dedicated turning or milling. We run Hypermill and have the programming capabilities so hopefully we can move forward from here. Also I wonder if there is any other way or platform to share/ publish videos removed from YT? This content is too valuable to be memory holed just because a quasi monopolist decides so. Thanks and greetings from Holland.
I have no interest in guns but I have really enjoyed seeing how you deal with the complex machining and engineering challenges with these. Regardless of what you’re making next, I’m excited to see how you go about making it!
I love machining and firearms, a very welcome crossover ❤
Beautiful gun! Looking forward to future videos!!
I really like the picatinny cut. Seems cut to the exact length/profile of the clamp for an x300.
That’s correct , wasn’t sure I wanted a light on this pistol. This still allows for one but retains the look I wanted
@@adamthemachinist would be nice to see this more widely adopted. Gives the pistol a very ‘bespoke’ aesthetic. I’ve just sub’d to your channel but haven’t seen the rest of your content. Did you machine everything oversized? Or did you try to minimize as much hand fitting as possible? Thanks.
@@-woobies- no hand fitting for the frame and slide rails. Barrel hood and lugs also surface ground to size. Things like ignition system and backstrap get a lot of hand work though
Very entertaining video, thank you
To cool, I love it, you are amazingly talented 👏👏👏
Adam, I’ve invented a new lower for the AR variants, can you prototype it?
No manufacturers license, I can only do work for myself
I would be interested in purchasing a set of your 2011 frame and sight tracker slide..
This reminds me of the bronze die cast 1911's Colt experimented with in the early 1930s to see if they could skip some of the milling operations by using an a more dimensionally accurate casting process. I think it was some kind of silicon bronze they ended up casting the 1911's out of.
Id love to see the 1911 footage again as well as the 2011 footage if you were able to post it somewhere else where it wouldn't get taken down. Very informative video, thanks for sharing!
What is it like for weight?
It’s heavy at 3.5 lbs, but that has more to do with the full length dust cover. The density of the c729 alloy about 10 percent more than steel. Either a more typical frame design I don’t think it would feel any different in the hand than a steel frame. The upside to all that weight, especially up front , is the gun is pretty flat shooting
@@adamthemachinist sounds good. I don’t mind one on the heavier side for recoil control. Like a desert eagle in 44 mag.
amazing
This is a wildly cool design. Well done and enjoy that bad boy!
Where can I get C729 bar stock? Looks like an awesome material!
McMaster has it , bigger sizes you’ll need to find a specialty red metals supplier
I’d like to preorder one. 😂
My favorite toolmaker.
I love this channel. Super cool content.
Beautiful build👊
Can you switch and have a copper top and stainless frame?
I'm not even a big 1911 guy (not racist, just don't have one), but that thing is freaking sweet.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@Abom79
Wow this is great Adam! Also your volume has approved so much in this video! Thank you!!!
Great job!! I really like your choice of the copper alloy slide and the overall fit and finish of the pistol. I've been a 1911 2011 aficionado for over 20 years now and some of them require hand fitting from the factory but then they don't do it and put em together and sell em like that. You end up buying a gun that won't run flawlessly. If course you can spend 5k on one that does.(The more expensive factory models of certain brands) I fitted and tuned mine to run flawlessly myself and proceeded to test it extensively to ensure it was reliable enough to suit my expectations
I'm a CNC programmer by trade, and found a .stp file for a gen 1 STI frame on the internet, I forget which site. Funny, I've been trying to decide which material to cut it out of.
Sounds like a copper alloy is the one
@@MrMagoo321 just wish he'd named it. His came out amazing!
729 copper , trade name toughmet
@@adamthemachinist thanks!!
@@adamthemachinist thank you!
This is what I watch youtube for. Adam, make a 10mm P7.
Does youtube not allow you to show the animated tool paths in your cam program?
The rules seem intentional vague.
nm... I finally got to the 18 minute mark and it looks like you show a bit of it...
RUclips won't let you show the machining of a firearm? The censorship from a democratic business is getting ridiculous. We are on the high-speed train to what's going on in the UK. Judges there now are giving people prison time for a face book post. It's only a matter of time before the government controls what your allowed to say or jail for you, plus a hefty fine of course. So sad.
even putting certain parts together on the firearm can be problematic
Adam, what are the laws around manufacturing a 2011 and registering it? I live in Scotland we can’t even have an air pistol without a gun license from the police.
The ATF considers this a Privately Made Firearm. as long as you meet the legal requirements to own a gun, you can make a gun. no forms, registration, or serial numbers needed. For a long time this was no big deal, but the advent of 3d printed guns has brought some scrutiny to the practice. Still legal , but these often get called "ghost guns" which cast an nefarious stigma on them
I work in aerospace and a lot of our landing gear actuators use C72900/ToughMet for the lock actuating elements on the inside. It really surprises me how good it is
Can you provide a link to the books you reference? Or at least the titles. They flash by too quickly to read.
links to content about making firearms might get me in trouble, but if you search for " jerry kuhnhausen 1911 shop manual" volumes 1 and 2 you find what you want
I was wondering how you did the barrel, but I suppose that's something better left to the specialists.
Oversized barrel that I form ground the lugs in on and chambered. Once fitted to the frame and chamfered the rib and slide to match each other
Amazing to see how VIDEO GAME PROPS are actually manufactured! 👌
I hope you consider going to one of the more 2a friendly platforms and posting a series on the machining of this. It is truly a work of art.
To answer your question, YES I would love to buy a Demuth 2011. Can a 408 Willemin fit these parts? That would be fun. I see a garage expansion in your future! Thanks for the video.
Sounds smooth
*6:13** Ah, that's a shame. I have all the drawings.*
*Pretty cool. Any chance you'd want to chat with another machinist.*
always happy to, drop me a message here or on instagram
fantastic work as always!!
Did you record video of making this one? I know you can't post it to YT but I'd still watch it if you were able to put it somewhere else
Glad this is back, the original is how I found your channel. I have to go play machinist, but I know what I'm watching when i get home
Does he have a Patreon? I'm not really on that platform but would definitely contribute to allow him to create his content without the tyrants at RUclips ruining it.
A++ Adam, you are god-tier inspiration to a fellow career machinist and hobbyist DIY'r !! It's awesome that you share these badass projects with us , while casually dropping deep wisdom from your expertise!
*Summary* * *(**0:21**)* *2011 vs 1911 Manufacturing:* The 2011 pistol (a double-stack, high-capacity version of the 1911) is significantly easier to manufacture than the traditional 1911. * *(**6:50**)* *Easier Machining:* The 2011 requires fewer specialized tools and operations like broaching. Many features can be machined with standard end mills. * *(**11:00**)* *Round Bar Stock:* The 2011 frame can be made from readily available and affordable round bar stock, opening up the possibility of highly efficient "mill-turn" production. * *(**16:51**)* *Simplified Internal Features:* Internal cuts like those for the beaver tail safety, disconnector, and slide stop are simpler and less deep on the 2011. * *(**18:44**)* *"Clark Cut" Barrel Advantages:* The use of a "Clark Cut" barrel simplifies machining of the vertical impact surface. * *(**2:42**)* *Copper Alloy Frame:* The video creator used a copper alloy for the frame, which offers benefits like high hardness and good wear resistance. A downside is that it conducts heat readily, making the gun hotter during extended firing. * *(**15:57**)* *Design Considerations:* While mostly easier to make, the long dust cover with a relief for the recoil rod proved challenging to machine and might be redesigned in the future. *In essence, the video explains why the 2011 pistol design is not only an advancement in terms of capacity and ergonomics, but also a significant improvement in manufacturability over the classic 1911.* I used Google Gemini 1.5 Pro exp 0801 to summarize the transcript. Cost (if I didn't use the free tier): $0.0680 Time: 22.98 seconds Input tokens: 17361 Output tokens: 689
This channel morphing into a gun content channel definitely wasn't on my 2024 bingo card but I'm here for it lol. Been watching you since the NYCCNC tour and love the content. I was lucky enough to watch the 1911 video before it got removed.
I remember watching that video when I worked at a firearms factory and me and one of the engineers talking about it and how good the surface finishes looked with oil. We started joking about swapping one of the hass's over to oil
what is the alloy ? 940 ? also youtube has not been showing me your last 5 videos?
C729 .. mentioned elsewhere in comments. it's on the thumbnail of the video in fact
What copper alloy did you use
C729 copper. It is the video picture.
