O ring modification
Somebody had a post in the not too distant past about the modification of the gas check plate for a 63 Shiloh where the protrusion on the back of the plate was ground down slightly so a square profile o ring could be used. What was the amount of material that was removed and the McMaster Carr part number for the o ring?
Thanks

part # 207n70q that is what is on the package [package qty 100]
not sure the single part # is the same. will check it whe i get a chance.
don't know how much to take off to start with. would suggest you get the o-rings first and then start w/ 1/3 the thickness of the o-ring and go form there Rember you can take more off you can't put it back.

Some additional information, I have done this in the past. You need a .875 diameter o-ring about .125 thick. You grind the step so the disatnce at the bottom of the counterbore is .015 less than the diameter of the o-ring and what ever the space is between the pressure plate and the breech face, (you can find this by using a feeler gauge). The square profile o-ring works best in this application. Now, with that said, this is okay for limited use, and will over a short time leak. I does, however allow the breech to open and close better that no modification at all. You will need to change the o-ring at every cleaning and install just before shooting as sitting will allow the o-ring to take a set and reduce the preload it is intended to provide.

preload
Charlie thankfor the heads up on the preload. never thought of that.
I can get a few shoots o ut of one before i see any damage to the o-ring. but will start leaving the o-ring out until i get to the range.
Carlie I need 500 tubes 1.5" long will pick them ut at the nationals.
will send an email later

For us dummies, it would sure be great if there were pictures of the various gas check/pressure plate mods. I have read through all the posts and it is still not really clear as to what needs to be done. I have a feeling that I am not alone in this state of confusion.
A picture is worth a 1000 words.

from 2 diffrent sharps the first block (solid) is from my armi sport.
that i had a lot of ing. problems with we removed the clean out screw filled channel then removed the flash nipple swegged a bar into the gas check. then dirilled a streight hole from the center of the block to under the nipple. that removed about 1" fo flash channel and 2 90 deg bends.
that improved ing and shorted flash time.
one word of advice don't by an armi sport. had a lot of other problems w/ it also the hammer did not clear the nipple. w/ a cap on it the bore was so over sized i had it lined and the split chamer put in. had it back to the dealer several times was told there was nothing wrong w/ it.
the second block is from a shiloh I picked up used and the mod was already done when i got it.
your block is correct.
