Toolndie7 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 I just finished a rear tension pin, basically copied JP's style. I didnt have much play but I wanted a snug fit. So...... having the ability to make one and being broke I couldnt justify paying $45 for one. I made it out of a 10-32 cap screw and two pieces of A2 tool steel that I hardened. I made it specific to my rifle so the diameters are very close. All I can say is holy Sh**! I cant belive how well that works. Ive read that a lil loc-tite will be required to keep it snug and in place so someday when I finish this project and shoot it we will see how it holds up. I'll post a picture after work cause god knows everyone like pictures. Has anyone here had any experiences or opinions with a JP tension pin?
Dane Armory Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Do you have two pics ? Loose and installed . THX
Toolndie7 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Posted March 6, 2014 Havent taken any pics yet. Is there anything you would like to see in particular?
survivalshop Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Yes , we want it to see it all ! <thumbsup>
hdbiker1 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Better yet, I'd like to know if it affects accuracy at all, or are these kind of fixes just for a feel good thing.

Matt.Cross Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 That's a cool piece of gear! My rear tensions automatically, especially in high-stress situations.... >:D
Rsquared Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 ^^^^ How did I know that somebody would make a reference like that?
Matt.Cross Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 ^^^^ How did I know that somebody would make a reference like that? Are you trying to say you saw it coming? >:D <outtahere>
Rsquared Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 What? You're rear tensioning? Or the reference?
Matt.Cross Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 What? You're rear tensioning? Or the reference? It was supposed to be more cheap innuendo, but now this is just a thread about tensioning pins again.... >:( <laughs>
unforgiven Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Damn man. That's nice! His rear tensioning?? :banana:
Toolndie7 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah should have seen that referance coming my self. The words tension and rear in the same sentence just flip some peoples switch <laughs>
survivalshop Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Better yet, I'd like to know if it affects accuracy at all, or are these kind of fixes just for a feel good thing. Good question .
Toolndie7 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Posted March 10, 2014 Good question . If I ever get it finished I'll try to remember to do a test both ways. The way I look at it any movement is not going to contribute to accuracy, so if anything its going to help. Also any movement on an assembly is only going to get worse over time. And I just like being different :banana:
