What have you made?

How long of a barrel do you end up with?
Currently mine has the stock barrel still in it but from the end of the threads on the outer it adds maybe 50mm, 40mm of useable space if you wanted a longer inner. Of course now its done I can make it longer or shorter. I mainly did this to give me more room to hang onto it as a foregrip on the original handguard was cramped. 

 
yeah, the fake bolt release and the dimpled barrel are 3D printed. I need to finish modelling the fire selectors which will be 3D printed until my CNC machine turns up and then I'm planning on making them out of Aluminum.

Ah cool - out of interest, how much would one expect roughly on recreating such a thing of beauty please?  :D

Sadly it's going to be a 1 of 1 simply because finding all the parts is becoming a pain and extra expensive as everything needs to be shipped from Asia.

Yes I am not surprised, I was going to try making one myself and using the Lancer Tactical - 32 13" Gen 3 as a base but it would need a lot of work and money to get it close...if you half shut your eyes and look at it through binos the wrong way around...KS-1 from Wish  :D

Apart from... because I can.

can I ask why?


Because i bought an AEG barrel for my MP5 not realising that they use an AEP barrel and bucking. Since i've bought another MP5 NGRS and i have this already it made sense to convert it. (And AEG barrels are half the damn price of MP5-specific ones.)

The only apparent difference being the two slots in the sides to locate the bucking and the groove up front for an O-ring.

 
Made a T238 Griffon tracer fit inside my TM MP7 suppressor

A horizontal pouch to house a little 13CI HPA bottle, keeping it nicely tucked out of the way and not bouncing around on the back of the belt. Primarily for use with my recently converted L96 with a Mancraft SDIK. I couldn't find any ready made solutions on the market, so resorted to making my own with leftover bits and bobs that I had+ a 20 year old sewing machine!

Few little jobs today:

The barrel on my SCAR-H SSR has a necked down section just behind the flash hider that looked odd. Had a spare M16 thread protector that i bored out and cut down. Bit of test fitting and light cuts to get the flash hider clocked to have the flats vertical. It doesn't look quite right but it's better.

Also made an ally charging handle for it, instead of the plastic one it came with. Just needs painting now:

Then converted a spare 18C to a 17 G3 as i'm nicking the full-auto bits for another build. Some little milling cuts inside the slide and made a "spacer bar" that sits under the rear sight:
