DeLane Dev Grp V-22S Single Shot Support

I’m afraid they are making the same mistake so many small companies do and that is not being satisfied with what they do best and enjoying a smaller but loyal market. I understand they were trying to produce a 1911 pistol which the market is flooded with
 
I have continued to try calling them and each and every time I get the voice mail and never a call back when I ordered my Vudoo ( s) they were very responsive but no more and I would like among other things to get several more magizines

I have tried email a couple times lately and got no reply. I need a scope base with more cant. The webstore is still open but I won't order if they can't/won't deliver.
Mile High has removed them from the website and EuroOptic shows very limited stock of any Vudoo products. They have no magazines either.
 
Mornin, All,
Within the mix of tornadic confusion and wonderment over the last few weeks, I've spoken to my efforts to support those with the V-22 platforms, but I was speaking broadly and didn't specifically mention the Single Shot platform. Rest assured, if you have a V-22S, I will be supporting them with spare parts availability.

I hope this helps.

Mornin, Fellas,
The data entry is going well to get everyone plugged into my bookkeeping software and as I've read every email, it's funny that all three people still using AOL have emailed me.

As one can imagine, I've sifted through a lot of information in your emails, but I don't have all the info I need to discern who has what generation of action. So, DON'T do anything right now, but what can be expected next is an email from me (mass email style), where I'll simply ask, "What generation action do you have?" If you know the answer to this, simply reply with "Gen X" in the subject line. If you have a single shot, simply put "V22S". In the body of the email, please provide your full name, address and phone number. Please do not write anything else, anywhere else.

For those of you that do not know what generation you have, please see the pictures below. The easiest way to tell is by the bolt release, and for the Gen 1 and Gen 1.2, the cocking piece and bolt shroud are different.

Once I have the info, I'll organize a few details and keep moving forward. Also, when appropriate, I'll be accepting payments using the CASH App, which keeps me off the phone and provides some small level of "automation" for the process.

Gen 1

Gen 1.2.jpg

Gen 2, 22LR and Magnums

Gen 3, Three60 and V22S Single Shot

Onward and upward....

I've received a bit of outreach about what parts are in the kits and at the moment, I'll answer for everyone here by saying that every small component that is part of the action assembly will be in the comprehensive kits. I'll publish what's specifically in the kits later, but there are five:

1. Orange--Gen 1
2. Red--Gen 1.2
3. Purple--Gen 2
4. Blue--Gen 3 Repeater
5. Yellow--Gen 3 Single Shot

I won't be offering the action assembly components individually, so if you need a part, the kit is the only way to go. There's a lot involved in making this work and to ship a single part only to have to provide another single part for the same action/rifle later on is not efficient and there are many kits that will be shipped OCONUS.

I've also received numerous questions about magazines and if I have an equivalent to my original polymer magazines. Currently, I do not, but I will be making and supplying a new magazine later as part of the two actions that will use them, and the plan is, they will be backward compatible with the V-22.

Hope this helps,

MB

How about a kit (including springs) for the v22s. Please

Yessir, all set. I edited the list above to add the Gen 1.2 as the numbers are large enough that it would be confusing to serve them out of the Red Kit. I'll past the list from the above post here:

1. Orange--Gen 1
2. Red--Gen 1.2
3. Purple--Gen 2
4. Blue--Gen 3 Repeater
5. Yellow--Gen 3 Single Shot

Yellow is the V22S kit.

Thank You MB for looking after all the people that believe in what you have done (Vudoo). Please keep up the good work your doing in are support.
 
If you've not received an email yet from my mass mailing, this is what you'll be getting sometime today:

If you're receiving this email, it's because you've expressed an interest in a parts kit for your V22. I'm taking the required next steps to organize orders, and I now need a little more info. Please respond to this email with:
In the subject line, please put one or more of the following:


    • Gen 1
    • Gen 1.2
    • Gen 2
    • Gen 3 Repeater
    • Gen 3 Single Shot (V22S)

Please don't write anything else in the subject line. If you do not know what Gen you have, please refer to the Featured post in the DeLane Development Group FB page (link below in signature line) and look at the pictures. If you're not a member of the FB private group, please click JOIN, and I will approve you.

Please also provide:

Full Name

Please do not write anything else, anywhere else.
Thank you, and all the best.


If you have received an email and responded with the info, thank you very much. I'm manually farming the email data, so I can't guarantee that you won't receive it twice, but if you've not received an email by Tuesday, it's safe to say I missed you somehow and you can send an email to [email protected] with the above info.

Thank you to everyone that has pulled together in this.

If I might be so bold to chum the water a bit I'd like to challenge the folks interested in the V22S to offer details of

1. How they'd configure their single shot actions ... barrels, triggers, stocks and scopes,
2. How/where they'd shoot or compete with a full V22S build,
3. How they'd address the ancillary equipment, i.e., rests in particular (one piece or two piece) and finally,
4. How they might deal with what I refer to as "the ammo chase" ... a highly accurate rifle often requires lot testing to get the best results.

I've put some thought into my dream build and I'll share if my challenge catches on ...h7
Okay here goes:
Muller barrel 8 grooves Ross taper
Flavio Fare trigger @ .7 oz
Randy Owens stock low and coffee color
Sightron SVSS 10-50x60 EDdot
John Langley builder
Eley tenex ammo
Harrell Tuner
Won a couple of times at Pioneer range, IBS Hunter at 100yards tough group to shoot against.
Shot two 50 point bulls last match, won with a 478 score two targets match. My 8x count won tied score.
Man I really love shooting this v22s Vudoo! Will repeatedly shoot .341 out to out groups @ 50yds.

Ok, thanks to the responses from my weekend mass email, I have a solid handle on per generation inventory levels. Not surprisingly, the greater number of actions out there is the Gen 3, Three60 Repeater. So that's where I'm building inventory first.
I'm now going part by part in the SolidWorks Assembly Models to validate all eight configurations of the Gen 3 (four for the repeater, four for single shot). As I validate a part, it gets placed into manufacturing engineering and validation and then production. This might sound like a lengthy process, but not really.

The thought struck me as I've been reviewing files, I could start making these things today if I took a notion to do so.
V22 Three Lug Receiver-One Piece.JPG
 
There's enough interest in the Lot Test Fixture (LTF)) that I'll move it into production, but I also received questions/feedback about the overall length.

A number of you would like to see a bit more material forward of the recoil lug pocket to provide more surface for the vise to hold onto. So, the overall length is now 15" instead of 12". A Bushing Plate will be included with the LTF; it's used in place of a DBM for the Gen 3 Single Shot and while doing maintenance and/or cleaning. Those wanting to feed from a magazine can add the DBM. I don't have pricing just yet.

Additionally, all parts have moved into production, as well as the Receiver Wrench for two lug and three lug receivers. I'll announce when I'm ready to accept orders.

Thanks to those that reached out with questions/feedback.

Gen 1 and the early Gen 2 were two piece receivers and there are two issued patents for my design. This is how I was able to eliminate the lug ways propagating the full length of the receiver bore, like the 40X Rimfire. Shortly into Gen 2 production, the receiver became one-piece.

The bolt handle is friction welded to the bolt body. There's a machine that spins a blank (that becomes the bolt body) at 4400 RPM while the handle blank is held stationary. As the bolt body blank spins, it is moved toward the handle blank until the point of contact. The friction creates heat and welding of the material occurs. What stops the spinning is the adhesion of the two parts.

This goes back to the early production of Phoenix Machine and Defiance Machine bolt blanks prior to the falling out between Glen Harrison and Ken Frankel, resulting in Defiance Machine bringing all their production in-house.

@RAVAGE88

How about the V22S...is it a one or two piece action??

Thanks!
 
I’m continuing to execute on the creation and delivery of the Comprehensive Parts Kits for:

  • Gen 1-Right and Left
  • Gen 1.2-Right and Left
  • Gen 2-Right and Left (includes Magnums)
  • Gen 3-Right and Left (Three60 Repeater, V22S Single Shot)
Through the arduous process of standing this up as quickly as possible, I’ve been asked what’s in the kit, and to date, my quick answer has been, “anything that isn’t the receiver, bolt body and bolt nose.”

That answer at the time was designed to save me a little time, but it’s now time to post up exactly what’s in each kit. This will also give everyone some clear insight into what an enormously heavy lift this is, and it's happening in parallel to Receiver Wrenches, Range Test Fixtures, DBMs and associated accessories, Magazines and new Rimfire Bolt Action Development....and, it’s just me.

So, the parts kit contains:

1. Firing Pin
2. Cocking Piece
3(a) Cocking Piece Cross Pin (Gen 1)
3(b) CP Retainer Set Screw (x2) (Gen 1.2/2/3)
4. Firing Pin Spring Kit-All Gens (15-20, 22 lbf)
5. Extractor
6. Pusher
7. E/P Spring Kit
8. E/P Plunger Pin (x2)
9a) Bolt Shroud-Gen 1
9b) Bolt Shroud Gen 1.2
9c) Bolt Shroud Gen 2/3
10. Bolt Nose Retaining Pin (Gen 1/1.2) (x2)
11a) Ejector, Gen 1/1.2, RH
11b) Ejector, Gen 1/1.2, LH
11c) Ejector, Gen 2/3, RH
11d) Ejector, Gen 2/3, LH
12. Ejector Screw (all Gens)
13a) Side Bolt Release, Gen 1/1.2
13b) Side Bolt Release, Gen 2, RH
13c) Side Bolt Release, Gen 2, LH
13d) Side Bolt Release, Gen 3, Rev 0, RH
13e) Side Bolt Release, Gen 3, Rev 0, LH
13f) Side Bolt Release, Gen 3, Rev 1
14a) Side Bolt Release Spring, Gen 1/1.2
14b) Side Bolt Release Spring, Gen 2
14c) Side Bolt Release Spring, Gen 3
15a) Side Bolt Release Threaded Pin, Gen 1/1.2
15b) Side Bolt Release Threaded Pin, Gen 2
15c) Side Bolt Release Threaded Pin, Gen 3
16. Trigger Pins, all Gens
17. Action Bolts, all Gens
18a) Picatinny Rails (to be available at a later date)
18b) Picatinny Rail Dowel Pin (x2) (to be available at a later date)
18c) Picatinny Rail Screws, Front (to be available at a later date)
18d) Picatinny Rail Screws, Rear (to be available at a later date)

There are parts landing today that starts the building of physical inventory, and the pace is finally starting to quicken for what it means to pick, pack, and ship. Again, this is not a small undertaking, and I appreciate everyone’s patience.

Alongside what it has meant to dig through a ton of data, track revisions that occurred after I departed Vudoo, pay off past due invoices that Vudoo owed to a key vendor, source the materials to appropriately package the parts, banking, merchant services, and so forth, I’m pleased with how well and, in reality, how fast this is coming together.

And bless her heart, my Wife, on the other hand, has been incredibly supportive as I’ve taken over a considerable portion of the house to manage all this.

As is always the case, please reach out if there are questions, etc.

"The right thing to do."

In today's USA where half the population is loudly proclaimed as vermin unworthy of breathing by the other half, acting in a way that benefits everyone is so often seen as a silly weakness.

You go, Mike. If you're like me, you're not doing this for accolades, $$, and/or "likes." You do the right thing because it's who you are.

MB have you figured out the kit price yet? Mainly for the G3 kit for a v22s.
Thanks for all your work.
Stephen T
Hey, Stephen, not for the kit but for most of the parts shipped individually. The kit project is moving, but I've overloaded the vendors, so it's not moving as quickly as I'd like. Originally, my plan has been to ship kits, but until I have all the inventory in place, I'm shipping individual parts to get rifles up and running.

MB
 
Just a note for all. Mike is having an issue with his account here and he can’t get signed in and we are waiting for some help from @alexj-12 so if you need to contact him just drop him an email at [email protected]
I had a similar problem a couple months ago. Worked with someone from the website, couldn’t get it handled. Tried again a couple weeks ago and logged in with no problem.
 
Got my Gen 1 action wrench in the mail today. Thanks Mike!

Fit perfect in my action. Below is a pic of how far it fits in the action for reference. Popped off my 23” 1.2” contour and popped on my original 18” Kukri and everything lined up perfectly. If it wasn’t pouring rain I would send some rounds through it but that will have to wait. If you are thinking of getting an action wrench or any of the kits don’t hesitate!

Quick Update:

Receiver Wrenches:
For those that have been waiting for the Gen 3 RH Receiver Wrenches; first, thank you for being patient, it truly means a lot. The Gen 3 RH Receiver Wrenches, PLUS Gen 3 LH, Gen 1 RH and LH and Gen 2 RH and LH, are headed to me right now. I'll post pics when they arrive and anything not already sold will be in stock.

Gen 2/Gen 3 Cocking Pieces, Single Screw:
They're in the same shipment with the Receiver Wrenches. I've received lots of outreach from folks that have been experiencing the loosening of the screws in the two-screw cocking piece. For those that missed the post about this, the loosening is caused by a crack that forms between the two screw holes due to a thin wall condition. This issue can affect some later Gen 2 and many Gen 3 actions, including builds from Masterpiece Arms. I'll have a large inventory of Single Screw Cocking Pieces within another few days. Two-screw, bad. Single-screw, good.

V-Series Magazines:
The LRIP for the V2210 is moving along very well and I'll have parts to show very soon. Thankfully, there's a sizable interest in the V-Series and X-Series Magazines, and I'm incredibly pleased with how this project has come together. Stay tuned for more info.

Standard M5 and M5x DBMs:
As I mentioned a few updates ago, once the V-Series Mags started LRIP, the DBMs would be folded in and this schedule is running perfectly on-time. If there's an interest in a Pre-Order for DBMs, please let me know and I'll work on the timing to get a Pre-Order started.

www.delanedevgroup.net :
We're already a bit beyond the first few drafts of the new website and I'll say that I'm blessed to have people that want to be a part of how all this is coming together. We don't have a launch date yet, but I'll keep everyone posted.

Thank You for the tip.
Have Question about firing pin, chisel point, my latest attempt to adjust hit depth is a failure.
Changed 16# 1 turn pin spring hit .017.6 avg to 15# 1 turn pin hit .019.5 avg depth hit. NO FAILS TO FIRE.
HOW do I adjust pin for/to hit depth to .013 to .015 ?

Hey, Stephen, the first thing I’ll ask is, what are your goals? Also, the minimum depth of strike for Lapua is .014” and Eley is .012”.

I’d recommend not focusing strictly on the minimal (or less) strike depth, but instead, the highest level of depth consistency with the lowest spring rate possible.

What will determine the spring you use are all the things that make up your fire control system; trigger, type of lube, surface finish of materials, etc.

Also, the firing pin isn’t actually being adjusted, as various videos have suggested/advised. Instead, point of hand-off is being adjusted upon closure of the bolt and this handoff is based on the location of the sear surface.

Ultimately, the goal is to tap in to the required energy to maintain consistency and the depth of strike is going to be what it is based on what you’re seeing down range. Chasing a minimal amount of strike depth isn’t the goal.

Instead of “adjusting the firing pin,” the cocking piece is actually what’s being moved, as the pin always stops in the same place, meaning that pin protrusion beyond the bolt face does not change.

Another way to look at it is, what’s truly being adjusted is the amount of energy delivered to the case rim, which is what determines depth of strike.

I’m trying to step away from SolidWorks at the end of this week to do a video on what all this means and to demonstrate proper adjustment of the cocking piece.

Thank You Mike
A video pointing to and explaining parts and function would really be helpful. Yes I am trying to get spring power down in relation to hit depth while minimizing FTF’s. I also want to minimize vibration’s.
I use no lube on pin especially in spring area. Grease on back of 3 lugs is about it. Should pin be polished in spring area. I’m trying to shoot smaller groups in relation to score. I also need to shrink strike depth variation, to increase consistancy.
Thank You Mike
For all the help and a great product.

Perfect, you’re dialed in and on a good path. I’ll get the video squared away asap.

Also, the firing pin isn’t actually being adjusted, as various videos have suggested/advised. Instead, point of hand-off is being adjusted upon closure of the bolt and this handoff is based on the location of the sear surface.

Ultimately, the goal is to tap in to the required energy to maintain consistency and the depth of strike is going to be what it is based on what you’re seeing down range. Chasing a minimal amount of strike depth isn’t the goal.

Instead of “adjusting the firing pin,” the cocking piece is actually what’s being moved, as the pin always stops in the same place, meaning that pin protrusion beyond the bolt face does not change.

Another way to look at it is, what’s truly being adjusted is the amount of energy delivered to the case rim, which is what determines depth of strike.

I’m trying to step away from SolidWorks at the end of this week to do a video on what all this means and to demonstrate proper adjustment of the cocking piece.

Thank You for the tip.
Have Question about firing pin, chisel point, my latest attempt to adjust hit depth is a failure.
Changed 16# 1 turn pin spring hit .017.6 avg to 15# 1 turn pin hit .019.5 avg depth hit. NO FAILS TO FIRE.
HOW do I adjust pin for/to hit depth to .013 to .015 ?
How are you measuring the striker depth?
