E11 Pipe Diameter

[Hawkeye[501st]]

Hi Guys/Gals

Need help,can you post a E11 diameter at 100% so i can put the tube i have on the computer screen and see if i have the right size.

I have it as 1.25inch pipe some call it 1 1/4 but somehow the doopydoo ejection bolt dont fit, its lose

 

I know its a long shot, if anyone is kind enough to post, good...if not it is ok...too

thanks in advance

nope.

[john danter]

I think a real Sterling was 38mm in diameter?

So a 40mm pipe will do fine

[Hawkeye[501st]]

nope.

LOL you always make me laugh mate!

I concur with John, I measured my two real Sterling SMGs with a micrometer, and they are both 38mm.

 

 

BTW, if you have not been to the Blaster builders Club site, it will help you with your E11 build,(downloadable blueprints and tutorials) Here is the link: -----------

The Doopydoos kit is designed for a 40mm pipe. Dashrazor is selling some pre-drilled ones here

[TK bondservnt[501st]]

1.5 inches = 38.1 millimeters

 

so if you sand off a MM you've got it@!

 

I sell tubes milled with T Tracks installed:

did you measure them at their narrowest point?

 

how about the dimension at the rear with the back butt cap removed? (that area is larger than the rest of the tube.)

 

when ERV created his E-11x he had to reduce the plans by 10% across the width and kept the length the same.

 

also the BBC plans incorrectly list the length of the blaster with the doopy do's kit.

To answer your question Vern, the body is 38mm. The placement where the cap connects is 42mm.

 

Yea, I have seen some discrepancies in the BBC's tutorial, but it is at least a starting point for some people if they want to start from scratch. And, they can adjust it along the way, or purchase a pre-drilled one like you or Mason have up for sale.

thanks tom for confirming those dimensions...

 

it's interesting that the doopy do's end cap perfectly fits on the original sterling end at 42mm.

 

and when you get a 1.5 pipe you have to shave off about 3-4mm to get that on!

 

the BBC plans fit very well for a slightly larger, and longer tube... so some care should be taken to get

 

the dimensions correct. if you follow the BBC plans with a doopy do's kit you can end up with a blaster

 

that's almost 1/2" too long!!!

Thank you guys! Appreciate the help.

I been to Blaster Build, I have a drilled tube. I think i will drill a new one with reduction of 10%.

Is that something i an do when printing the blueprint?thanks
