yukosteel Posted July 3, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just made this mod few days ago for one of my good friend. Button is cut from the used casing shot from his Sako rifle, then drilled through to get primer diameter. I used generic brass soft release button and trimmed its diameter to primer size as well. Used cut primer is straightened and pressed in from the top, while trimmed soft release button is pressed in from the bottom, forming rigid assembly. Welcome, dear visitor!

TomB_tx Posted July 3, 2022 Share #2 Posted July 3, 2022 Nice job! Sounds like very solid construction. I only use a tiny soft release on my M5, due to the depth of travel to move the meter cell. Maybe a 30 Super Carry would do for me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yukosteel Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted July 3, 2022 Right! With so many casings sizes available it's quite easy to adapt preferred diameter and depth to a soft release. Most challenging part is a trimming of soft release base to smaller diameter, because it's hard to hold it. I used 2mm drilling bit, wrapped few dozen layers of aluminum foil to form a pipe. Then used a small nut to fit pipe inside and finally screwing in the soft release conical thread into aluminum foil pipe. It allows to trim soft release button in a high-speed rotary tool by using metal or diamond file. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

84bravo Posted July 23, 2022 Share #8 Posted July 23, 2022 So you drill out the primer pocket to 2 mm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've extracted primer and drilled that pocket to primer diameter. Soft release button is also trimmed to primer diameter and fits tight from the bottom. Then I've extracted anvil from used primer, straightened and polished its bottom, then cut it to be about 2mm long for proper fit from the top. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
