What have you made?

[Egon_247]

Yeah all sheet metal, riveted except for one side which will be bolted for access, I've got a laser cutter so easier to do things out of metal , MDF would probably help to be less noisy if any hit the sides though. 

Put some of that sticky car sound deadening stuff inside it, that'd be awesome at shutting it up.

Spent a couple of hours “crafting” an adapter out of steel scaffold pipe to allow my SF-DI to accept 12g booms as well as the primer charges

Shall find out on Sunday if it’s a success ?

Yeah, I will literally be throwing caution to the wind

but in a safe controlled manner 

it’s just a shim in a stainless body, I can’t find the manufacturers one for sale anywhere

But point taken, I’ll maybe just use them in the Dynatex which is designed for the 12G’s?

If you cut groves in the pipe the shrapnel won't do as much damage.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

you have both sensibly talked me out of using it now ??

 

[ButcherBill]

That's what we're here for... and to take the piss of course.

I'm just kidding, give it a try a few times in a safe area before game on, I'm sure it'll be fine.

Im sure it would be, the base that holds the charges is far more substantially made than the Dynatex loading cap

The insert is a steel tube that slips into the stainless base of the SF-DI

But as it’d be getting rolled towards someone….. “Safety First”

At least it consumed a couple of hours today, a nice distraction ?

Actual shotgun barrels that fire shot down them can, comparatively, be notoriously weak when put up against any pistol or rifle barrel; just blasting airsoft grade blanks shouldn't really test any steel that's not just chinese factory floor scrapings mushed together.

I turned a .50 storage box into a foam container for my pistol magazines.

Finally started a Crye MR-C build. I've been wanting to make one of these ever since GRAW came out on the Xbox 360 - 3D printing (and affordable design software) is now making happen after being on the back-burner for over a decade.

It's just a wall-hanger/prop. Maybe one day I'll make a functional Airsoft gun but I'm not too bothered on that front.

Still have a good dozen hours of printing, then numerous more hours of sanding, filling and painting.

Stitch bitches should note this takes design elements from the two mock-ups I have found in my searches, and Crye's own low-res 3d renderings (they all differ slightly), along with some small creative liberties taken on my part (i.e trigger and ambi fire selector).

Stitch bitches

love it

 

[Speedbird_666]

The MR-C is structurally complete. Just needs filling, sanding, filling, sanding...etc...then eventually painting.

Gotta love a G11 - and all the other '90/'00 'space guns' for the ACR/OICW programs.

I'm starting to gather reference pictures for a Steyr ACR - mainly to test my surface modelling skills with more complex shapes. Gonna be a pig to model with my limited 'skillz'.

I'm also taking a crack at the original HK XM8 concept art (by an Audi designer!)  when they figured that the G36 wasn't sexy enough for the yanks. It's batshit bonkers - but I like it.

I immediately though of the G11 when I saw this post.

 

[mightyjebus]

The ACR is going to be a tough one to model by the looks of it.

Maybe use the XM8 as a base?

Little bits and pieces yesterday

Modifying my G3 scope mount to delete the rail and lower the scope as much as possible. Bit of milling, drilling and tapping and got it 95% how i want. Little more needed but i'm happy with it.

Then a quick job with some spare brass and delrin; a Mini Tamiya terminal remover.
