Rifle mechanism

I want to build another gun, specifically one made by RBguns (https://youtu.be/kzh-1hUooik). Instead of creating the complicated parts out of wood, I've decided to use 3D printed components. January 28, 2018: Today was the day I finally assembled the gun. To my delight, it works perfectly! However, there are a few improvements and updates that need to be made to almost all the parts. First and foremost, pins in both the BasePlate and TopPlate alongside the rotor need to be removed. Another crucial point is that the Cock needs a strong band, which must bang against the Slider hard enough to release a rubber band from the Rotor through the Rocker. You might also want to consider making the rubber band between the Rocker and Reloadlever relatively loose. I've also added an additional lip behind the Cock, allowing me to connect it to the rubberband, which in turn pulls the Trigger backwards. My next task is to attach this block to the rifle. March 11, 2019: I finally had some spare time last week, so I made the wooden components. As I found the mechanism too thick, I decided to slim down the base and top plate, as well as the Slider. Instead of using nuts and bolts, I replaced them with alignment pins sticking out on both sides, about 3mm in length. The wooden parts covering the 3D printed mechanism align perfectly, keeping the whole mechanism in place. All that's left now is to apply some finishing oil. March 24, 2019: I've uploaded a new trigger design that places it further away from the reloadlever.
