What have you made?

I guess it counts as made ?

Bought an S&T Mosin on a whim because the price was great from @Pierre

It was missing the front sight/muzzle as S&T for some silly reason have it split and held on by a grub screw?!

Purchased a PPS mosin barrel (And extras) from @airsoftshooter123 with a hope and dream of fitting the barrel to the S&T

After eight hours of grinding, sanding, testing and a lot of “oh ffs”

The barrel has been transplanted to the S&T and now I have a “historically accurate” one piece barrel ? Found an original Izhevsk front sight too (Which matches the “manufacturer” of the S&T) to finish it off!

Eyeing up the bolt action dude upgrade kit & the BAD PU bolt if/when he releases it and a PU scope now. Wrap it in some burlap and go all “Enemy at the gates” ?

I don't know to be honest. I know the VFC SCAR-Hs have an NPAS from the factory, while my two VFC MP5s don't. Not sure which others have them.

Making another tool to fit other brands/models is no issue, but they do use different size hex keys and different nozzle internal diameters. (This is made to be a close fit into the nozzle for alignment of the hex key and to prevent damage.)

 
Not me, the wizard @Anonymoose again. He worked some of his spellcraft yesterday, started by trimming down the side locating tabs on 2 different AR AEG outer barrels that weren't quite compatible with the 2 upper receivers in question (noq sit in beautifully), then also fixed some of china's mistakes and drilled some new holes in a QD attachment lever for a PTS Unity Aimpoint micro mount.

The big job was converting this real Geissele bolt catch to fit on to an AEG lower (and obviously not protrude inside so there's room for the gearbox). There were MANY steps to this, far more than I've shown, and he also made a custom little piece to sit inside and secure the lever, since a real one would have its' internal segment and a bolt carrier holding it in place.

This week I managed to make a complete balls up of the repair/upgrade on my KAC PDW. In no particular  order I managed to tear the new hop rubber when putting the hop unit back on the inner barrel, loose the hop nub (fortunately I found again later) and while disconnecting the wiring a bullet connector came off. I'll try again today and hopefully things will go better

 
Somewhat productive day in the SkunkWorks.

Started off by modifying a silencer/tracer unit, wasn't so fond of the grooves in it and decided to copy the Specter one, but with 12 smaller flutes.

Before:

After turning the OD down, it was put in the rotary table and flutes were cut with an 8mm ball-nosed end mill.

Bit of lousy paint..

And now it looks so much better. Very happy with the result.

Next up was a silencer that i bought for my MP5K-PDW. It's some specific type that i didn't realise at the time, but that didn't matter. I made an insert that'd screw on to the threaded outer barrel, but go over the 3-lug QD and sit closer to the front sight block. Turned from 38mm ally, bored to clear the 3 lugs, threaded inside, with an external male thread to fit a tracer and hex flats milled too. It's secured to the outer body with a grub screw.

I don't think i'll ever rival your collection. ?

Another quick job, added a short rail to my MP5SD silencer to attach an X400 clone. The silencer has a small grub screw to index it so i can still keep zero when i have to remove the silencer.

Spare rail piece had a suitable radius cut into it to match the silencer:

Small section of the ribs were cut off the handguard to fit a remote switch, which is held on with 3M VHB tape.
