Alrighty. I've uploaded them all to a different image host. Hope they work for everyone now.

Using Bing: Pictures were gone yesterday. All are visible today.

Thought I would let everyone know that I got the .25 barrel off today. It didn't go quite like I planned ;-)

I made a fixture to hold the barrel in the vice without damaging it. While I was trying to figure out what to use on the receiver with hurting it, I decided to try it with my hands. The barrel started spinning inside the carbon fiber.

Took the carbon fiber off. Secured the receiver and then unscrewed the barrel by hand.

If you are interested in pictures you can see them here:

Any suggestions on what epoxy would be best to re-glue the barrel and carbon fiber?

So when you glue on the carbon fiber sleeve how will you keep the barrel in proper alignment?
I'm new to this barrel switching. Can someone explain why the barrel needs a carbon fiber sleeve.
I would think just the barrel alone would be simpler and cheaper. Is the sleeve's purpose to dampen barrel harmonics? I do like the front barrel support though.

c670809 · « **Reply #965 on:** April 23, 2016, 11:11:49 PM »

Others can explain the harmonics better than me. My brain is simple so here is my simple understanding. Stiffer is better. The carbon fiber allows the barrel to be both lighter and stiffer. Someone else who knows more can more fully explain it.

As to the alignment . . . The receiver has an area where the carbon fiber sleeve rides on so that aligns the back. Then Mike machined a small aluminum spacer that aligns the front. The hard part is keeping the epoxy out of the threads.

I have read that if you grease the threads that will keep the adhesive off.

Well, no pics to update with yet - I'm still doing some parts finishing on my mini lathe (Teflon sleeving the rest of the bolts).
Today is my Monday at my State job - I start vacation for 9 days beginning next Tuesday so I will be on the Millenniums full time one day & slugs the next then alternating days between the two until *everything* is finished & shipped.

They're coming guys...still nothing in the missing LDC's

I'm not getting any texts back on my inquiries either.

Mike

Wow Mike, those thing missing THIS long makes one wonder. Did they get waylaid somewhere along the line by prying eyes?
But even if that were true, you think someone would have a knock at the door already.

cnjl3 · « **Reply #969 on:** April 28, 2016, 02:22:15 PM »

I agree..... more and more they sound lost/stolen. I would prefer my rifle be shipped and then later if they are located I would gladly pay shipping for the LDC.

CarsonRatSniper · « **Reply #970 on:** April 28, 2016, 08:24:54 PM »

I was told they were located then shipped back to the machine shop & were supposed to be shipped to me...that was over a week ago

I'm missing two .25 & one .22 monocores...only one .25 was for me - the other two are for customer rifles.
I'm not giving up yet - I heard the machine shop owner was having some health issues & I haven't heard from Jeremy in awhile...he was at a mountain bike expo in Monterey...I guess I'll know for sure if everybody is still *unavailable* in another week.

The missing LDC's showed up yesterday...I've been busy in my shop working on guns.

Here's one of them that's ready to ship...I'll update more rifles & pics when I make time for it.

Mike

Glad the LDC's ended up making it back to you,
rifle looks great!

ezman604 · « **Reply #973 on:** May 24, 2016, 10:55:05 PM »

18 days since any posts. Those last 3 airguns make it to their homes?
Sure would like to see and hear from owners!!!
And Mike.

Still waiting for Millennium Pumper number 3 - last email from Mike said he still needs to drill & tap pump lever
for the forearm. I'm glad that he finally received the missing LDC's because one of them belongs to my MP.

moomoo · « **Reply #975 on:** May 28, 2016, 10:35:03 AM »

Did someone receive Millennium pumper serial number 004?
Its a .25 whit the Forest Camo, satin finish and the straight cut forearm??

moomoo · « **Reply #976 on:** May 28, 2016, 10:35:37 AM »

This gun was mine, and payed in full.
However I didn't needed it anymore and was looking to sell it.

Mike didn't allow me to sell it on my own, as he wanted to sell it him self for $300 more than I payed.

He promised a full refund several time in the last year, but never did.
And stopped replying to my emails.

i didn't wanne post this on a open forum, but Mike leaves me no choice
