One continuous receiver.

Research record

The detail behind
the study.

Source-linked work for this revision. Reported checks describe the stated model or test; physical qualification and applicability to the current retrofit remain separate.

R6 replaces the three separate, unattached bayonet studs with integral bosses on a single receiver body. Each boss overlaps the body before fusion and receives a0.20 mm root blend. No blind screw holes or additional seal-wall penetrations are introduced.

The boss tips, diameters and bayonet locations remain at the previous nominal coordinates. The source records the former stud identifiers as integral features of the receiver, preserving their logical identity. The complete assembly decreases from457 to454 separate solids.

Geometry and manufacturing scope

The receiver and its three bosses form one valid solid. Each pre-fusion root overlaps the receiver by5.5554 mm³; this verifies material continuity, not strength. The part fits within a nominal50 mm diameter by30 mm long cylindrical stock envelope. That is a preliminary machining-stock check, not proof of cutter access, fixturing or process capability.

A single-piece metal receiver is a manufacturing candidate. Alloy, heat treatment if applicable, finish, corrosion compatibility, tooling, machining sequence and controlled tolerances remain unselected. The graphite render color is presentation styling, not a material specification. Small root blends and internal keyway corners need explicit manufacturing review.

The complete R5 gland and its dimensional/volume-growth assumptions are retained. No new seal rating follows from making the bosses integral. Retaining-ring installation, deliberate bayonet latch/preload, electrical terminations and environmental qualification remain open.

Checks and supplied files

888 nominal checks pass: separate-body validity, fused roots, rigid-part interference, sampled bayonet rotation and insertion, continuous seal land, stock containment and both STEP round trips. Two focused tests pass, including additional intermediate rotation positions. A copied-source rebuild matches455 imported solids across the standalone receiver and complete assembly. The native receiver render was reopened, its source mesh verified and the image visually reviewed. Full regression remains running as session43947.

The integral bosses establish a modeled load path. Pull force, torque, impact, fatigue, allowable deflection and resulting material/process requirements must still be defined and validated. This revision is not a released manufacturing design.
