This is my first post and I wanted it to be original. I am not sure if this has been done before, but this is my take on how to make an easy, non-skip doomsayer turret. I have tried many other ways, but this is the only way that I could get it tight enough that it wouldn't skip.

MATERIALS NEEDED:
Ertl rapid fire shotgun
Two part JB weld epoxy
#10-24 x 3” machine bolt
Hot glue

First take your turret and remove the rod that holds the turret together. You wont be needing that anymore. Then glue the spring that was under the gear with hotglue like Angel did. After that, take the two notched parts of the gear and liberally apply two part epoxy JB weld between them.

Then take a nut and bolt of your choice and bolt them together as tight as you can without stressing the plastic for 1-2 days to let the glue set under constant pressure. This picture better explains what I am saying.

After that is done drying, reassemble the gear and spring and put them inside your turret just like they were when you first opened it up. Then set the bottom on a flat surface.

Now take a #10-24 x 3” machine bolt

(I found mine at home depot), and put it through hole in the top of your turret were the old rod used to be. With a flathead screwdriver, twist it down as far as it can go.

This may take some doing; The first two times I tried, the bolt would stop and would not budge. When that happens, unscrew the screw and insert it back in untill it goes down. Your final product should look something like this. The screw is all the way down, and very firm in the gear.

After you have done this your turret should never skip. This method should be able to hold heavier barrel material like cpvc also.
Comments, questions, and flames are welcome.

Impeccable timing sir, as I am currently working on a RFSG and this will undoubtedly help,

Thanks.

Not bad. I'm guessing you looked at an AT2K and a RFDG and Angel's usual catchspring gluing method and a lightbulb clicked?

Excellent first post dude.

Well actually, I have never owned an airtech 2000, and have no idea what you mean by me getting an idea from it. It was just one of those moments when you have a strike of genius. Thank you.
