To mark the new Hellboy 2019.... Here is a condensed version of my build of the Samaritan Pistol from Hellboy movie 2004.

I don't know how i missed this thread. That is insanely awesome! I have a samaritan that I'm working on making some cartridges for. I cut down some 12 guage brass shells but i wasn't sure how i was going to pull off the crimping.

Hey Jamie Staff i was working on finding something to crimp my brass cartridges with no luck so i suppose I'm gonna have to go your route and just make something. Did you just put a bend on a threaded bolt and use that to get that crimp pattern on yours? I couldn't tell in the video.

Have you tried chucking the brass in a lathe? a knurling tool would do the trick.

Yep... Just bent it around home tube to get the size, you may need the heat kneal the bar to stop it from snapping

Duncanator I was looking into that today. I haven't found anybody in my area that has a lathe yet that would do it for me and i looked into a hand knurling tool to do it myself but they were a couple hundred bucks.

Jamie Staff cool. I'll give it a shot.

 

[Jamie Staff]

Let me know if I can help, don't forget to pre-heat the brass as well makes a big difference

Amazing work on that prop

I hope my suggestion didn't come off as elitist. Sometimes a quick comment doesn't have the intended tone. I just figured its would make it easy if you happened to have access to a lathe.
I'm a fan of creative, back-yard mechanic solutions like the rolled all-thread. It's cheap, available and it worked!

 

[The Schlitzie]

Duncanator No worries. I didn't take it that way. Nowadays a lot of makers have access to a local makerspace if nothing else that will have a lathe but no luck here.

So I just went and saw the new hellboy this somes is up......

 

[The Schlitzie]

I may have found a nice solution...
