Gotta be a de-ac right?  Real shame it's not legal here like it (presumably?) is in the states.  A gearbox in the body of a de-ac spits bbs no differently to one inside an airsoft receiver set after all, with the right investment and machine tools one could make some super sweet guns that way with infinitely higher external quality than anything from an airsoft brand, that's when airsoft versions even exist.  Which presumably (again) will be the end result here so that's cool.

Thats actually the (visually) finished product.

Nope. Though I am honestly happy you two can't tell. Its a DP-28 Im making using a Echo1 ZB-30 body, a real DP-28 mag, and 3D printing a three-piece adapter to make it all work together.

 
Latest update on the TM MTR16

Still waiting for my 7" handguard and barrel, suppressor & a couple other bits to arrive, but @Wo1f has supplied me with this Dytac Geissele 9.5" one in the meantime (as well as a buffer tube, thank you ?)

SBA3 clone seems solid enough to hold a sling until my PTS sling plate arrives.

Still gotta change the optic but this is the only one I have for now

Progress!

Fair bit of photography and practising image editing the past couple of days while I'm home on leave.

Edit - I really shat out with this system of the board making supporter posts slightly grey instead of white lol

Sooo may have not been out playing of late, but i bought a used / not working TM M870 during lockdown months back, sold as leaking and having a hash sawn of job done, plus some vom RIS screwed on. The sweetener for me was it coming with an Angry Gun Gas AR stock, which seem to be obsolete for the most part nowadays.

Ordered a few WII TECH & SAT parts at the same time, they arrived a few weeks later from the east.

Basically it was leaking between the receiver and the gas expansion/reservoir inlet, a couple O rings sorted that, then that leak moved forward - with the proper pressure in the expansion cylinder - the nozzle was now leaking, luckily id ordered a WII TECH one :D

I also ordered a genuine MESA Remington pump grip and cartridge holder through Brownells.

The pump grip took a little bit of TLC with the finger blaster, sorry sander, and gives a much better lump to grip.

I did splash out on the SAT steel shortened outer barrel, to remedy the hash saw job, plus it has the nice finish and trades.

One bonus other M870 users may or may not be aware of - the SAT barrel has a threaded screw hole to screw the block to up front, this is AMAZING as it does away with that PITA nut plate inside the barrel - if youve taken one of these down youll appreciate how great that is!

Also fitted the WII TECH aluminum hop unit and loading nozzle unit, awesome bit of machining that!

I then reinstated the pump lock with WII TECH steel parts, works a charm.

Well chuffed with it, now it all works properly, its most satisfying to operate, and the shot sound is pretty cool.

Will get some nice TM cartridges now it works :)

Finally after a month of waiting this gorgeous thing showed up... Northeast Sten MkV GBB.

View attachment 61766

Absolutely beautiful replica, and packs a serious kick.



Breaks down almost exactly like the real steel, and operates very similarly. The bolt will even fly out the back if you leave the stock off and fire it, so don't do that.

I also recorded a little bit of slow motion-footage to show off the action...




I will say one thing though, my second mag seal has already gone, but such are the perils of limited run GBB replicas...  EDIT: I've since fixed this issue, the inner gas chamber just needed reseating.
