Bring your tools and bring your experience because if we are going to win this war it starts with you and it starts with your expertise!

260 rounds as fast as I could load the mag with only 1 malfunction! Confirmation test of the new bolt is done! Pre-Beta builds will be starting soon. The builders are selected. It's a closed test to make sure the Beta release goes smoothly and supply lines for kits are ready.

Function test before test fire! The plan is a 250-round test to confirm it works without any major issues. Then, pre-beta to confirm the design can be replicated and that the instructions are good enough to at least get started!

Sorry for the long wait! Had some personal things and was waiting on parts to come in. Hopefully, the last Alpha build! This new design is harder to make, so it took some time to get the first one right. If it holds up, things should start moving pretty fast for Beta!

I haven't posted in a while... It doesn't mean I haven't been working! The new bolt design will be harder to make but should be more reliable and safer. This will be able to be made with 3d printed jigs, drill, and files!

Proliferate signal . . .
People are realizing that vaporizing entire industries by forcing them to use magic technology that doesn't currently exist is insane. It's taken time for people to recognize the threat posed by "ghost gun" bans. It's one of the hardest 2A issues to gain public traction on, but people are beginning to wake up. Anyway, print a gun.

Now hitting beta with the Black Lotus Coalition team come and join us! You know what? >unbullpupps your Urutau Introducing the Jaçanã, a 9mm PCC by Joseph The Parrot, now in beta with Black Lotus Coalition. Like the Urutau, the Jaçanã is a 100% DIY design when used in tandem with the CM-1 fire control group by IvanTheTroll. All jigs to create the bolt are included. The Jaçanã is configurable as a title I handgun or form 1 SBR, depending on whether you attach a stock. Unlike the Urutau Mk2, the Jaçanã's design still needs some work. Though RSmith28 was able to build his and test it successfully, there are still a few quality-of-life improvements he could use help with, like implementing a slappable charging handle and a folding stock. (The design takes a weight-forward approach, so no buffer tube is technically required.) RSmith28 has not started on the Jaçanã's documentation yet, so FGC-9 or Urutau building experience is preferable if you are interested in this beta.

We will see if the new extractor will work! Had to make some room to make it fit.

This has been the biggest hurdle. I think I'm on V5 now. Im working on pricing out a metal 3d print for this but want a cheaper option. Should I keep playing with the SCS version? Anyone with compact extractor ideas? I need help.

That could have gone better... I have already redesigned it and will work on getting new parts in. I want to post the successes and failures. Something like this is unacceptable. I will not release something I do not trust.

The new design takes designs from both CNC and sheet metal bolts. This will increase the price, but it should increase safety. I will not compromise on safety.

Omw to the range to test out SCS bolt!

This should be the Beta release bolt! The V2 bolt had carryover design elements; they are all gone in this one. We will find out tomorrow if it holds up!

I have been putting in 12+ hour days. Gave up my weekends to get this far! The work instructions are almost done for review! This is one of the last steps before the Beta goes live! If you are not on the BLC Matrix, join now!

I love hardware development! Paperworks blows.... But it's just as important as the hardware 😥

V1 Vs V2 for the Bamson! 10X difference between the two. I will make a V3 to improve on this one. Test fire next weekend! I was hoping for tomorrow. I need to get some carbide drill bits to get through this 4130. PSA Milwaukee drill bits will not drill 4130 😅
