Dischargers, smoke generator, 4 inch

[wheaty]

I'll measure one of mine and get back to you.
I have one without the canister barrel on it right now.
Stay tuned.
cheers,
Warren

addendum: THIS IS FOR THE ROSS ACTION.
the barrel ID is .305 in. and a barrel length from the witness mark of 2.68 in.

Notable on some of the examples I have seen is that the bore is nowhere near centered on the stub barrel. It's almost like they cut the barrel, and chucked the receiver in a 4 jaw chuck and made the two levels of thread (smaller dia thread for the discharger cup, and larger diameter thread for the large retaining nut). Either that, or if they chucked the ross barrel, it was not straight in the chuck.

I had a machinist friend make up a bunch of the nuts for the dischargers. We found that there was actually variation in the larger diameter thread to the point we had to recall the first batch of nuts and have them re-worked. The threads on the barrel at that portion are actually a but tapered.

I still have nuts available to sell for those that need them, and still have the PDF that I can send out to those that want it.

Awesome sauce Warren, thanks a lot. Where else but this forum could somebody say "oh yeah, give me a few minutes to go look at my super rare, original and get a measurement for you."
Next I'll see if my generic Harbor Freight floor drill press has the gumption to sneak up on that diameter. I'm sure I'll end up pre-drilling with multiple smaller bits first.
I appreciate everybody's help.

Does anyone got drawing of smoke discharger bracket, please? Side view preferably, I need to get proper elevation of the discharger. Thanks
