johnsonlmg41 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 How much are the pistons? And why do they have an internal step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbore Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 How much are the pistons? And why do they have an internal step? SS Pistons are $32. They are tapered so they fit over the barrel threads, but stop against the barrel shoulder. Otherwise they wouldnt act as pistons and would allow the barrel to move through them.

Grasshopper Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Hi, Can one pre-order or pre-pay for some 08/15 boosters? I can speak from experience - My 08/15's doesn't like to run w/o them! Thanks for making parts for these 100+ year old firearms!

bigbore Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 No need to pre order or pre pay. I'm making 100 of these things and I expect to be sitting on some for at least a year. I promise everyone in this thread who expressed interest will get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're having a bitch of a time bending the outer shield properly to look authentic. I'll post pics of all the rest of the parts later this week. They're coming, just want to make sure they are good!

waterdawg2004 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I brought a booster, firing pin and O-ring kits, all worked good. The 08/15 front O-ring kit worked so good I forgot it was in there and threw the metal part out with the water. I can not find them anymore on the adco website? Are these still available? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
