What have you made?

[The_Lord_Poncho]

Kind of counts for this thread I suppose - A TTI PCC carbine build around an AAP-01. 210mm Unicorn Airsoft inner barrel+ unicorn hop rubber that came with the barrel. 3d printed short stroke buffer, semi lock selector plate, and angled fore grip.

 

Performance seems pretty decent  -  good accuracy and hop at 1.2 joules (305fps) on a .28g bb - I'll try some heavier ones later. Whole thing is very solid, and rather light/'pointable'.

 

Only bit that is annoying me is the octarms M-Lok handguard - even with no shims there is a gap at the back of it of at least 4mm between it and the receiver. I might need to try a different design that doesn't simply rely on set screw holes in the barrel nut and shims to align.

43 shot Saiga 12K magazine. Takes a CYMA MP5 midcap (130bb's) inside and uses the other parts of the Saiga mag. I'm not sure if I'll get the full 43 shots per gas fill but I'll find out this weekend.

My Ghk Sig was given its first proper outing last weekend

(I used it exclusively at NAF but can’t confirm any “hits” with it there 🙄)

 

A previous owner had had a go at gluing the mag back together after obviously breaking it, it held up until Sunday when I used my speed loader and the repaired bit fell off into the undergrowth never to be seen again

I had some of that two part epoxy stuff that hardens rock solid, so gave it a fix myself. Seems to be pretty solid and fits the replica nicely. 
only time will tell.

Replacement shells are available in the non transparent nylon type material

Another order from HK looming 🤦🏻‍♂️

Working on making a hk21 machinegun out of an old jg g3. The handguard is nearly done but I still need to make the outer barrel and barrel swap handle. Then its onto makeing an adapter to make the magwell look like its belt fed. Planning to make a snap in piece that I can attach a modified cmag to with a box around it. Should be able to just pull the adaptor and switch to using normal mags just fine if I need. not going for 100% accurate. Im going for the overall look with a few quality of life things like picatinny for a foregrip and bipod. 

[Davegolf]

Machined/TiG welded a buffer extension, for battery and some cheek weld.

 

Shortened outer barrel, modified silencer & machined out the rail.

I picked up a red dot sight, off here, and decided to design and 3d print a protector.

 

1st prototype 

 

 

looks cool enough but cutting the acrylic sheet round and then fitting it into the holder was too much.

 

So . . 

 

 

Prototype mk2

 

 

Happy with that one. Printed quickly in PLA so I'll get some better fillament, maybe ABS,  and print it properly. 

 

Designed in Tinkercad, sliced in Prusaslicer, printed on an Anycubic Kobra.

Nice work - i'd love to progress to where i can design my own files for 3D printing. At the moment I use a simple circular end cap with a lip from an existing 3d file, and just scale it up and down to fit the various pre-cut perspex discs you can get off ebay - and the various scopes, sights, and torches that i use.

I’ve had this KA Galil MAR a while but that chunky plastic foregrip did nothing for me , I tried to Gucci it with a bit of RIS rail … that sucked , back in the rack …

 

 

.rummaging today i found a KAC Mp5 RAS , two holes later  …. 
 

[Jacob Wright]

Cracked on with the foam this afternoon .. didn’t consider that the bottom of the case isn’t flat sided so I’m having to chamfer the edges of it 😬

[Jacob Wright]

Think I did a pretty good job!

I love it! Did you print the handguard?

What case is that?

yep. first version used aluminium tubing but It was just easier to get all of the little vent holes and bits printed directly into it

There’s a question 😬 a Peli 1700 I think?

Been doing a bit more 3d modeling. got a fully functional slide for my glock 26 though its obviously not prettified yet. My aim is to make a dedicated red dot capable slide as I dont like how high adapter plates make them sit and I want it to be light as possible. To this end ive also got myself a cheap plastic bodied sro off aliexpress for this project. Also made some extended baseplates to slot over glock 19 mags as I dont really like grip extensions and think this looks better XD. planning to eventually do g17, g34 and g19 slides with doctor and rmr mount options. Also vaugely considering an integral muzzle break more for the fact it will reinforce the hole the spring guide goes.  Id ideally like to keep this package as compact as possible though. 

 

[HuttArmouries]

now ready to start making it more pretty. I am getting rid of the little overhang at the back. This sro is just a little chunky width wise. I also have some specialised nuts coming which should let me shave another mm off the height of the slide.

I do love my lightweight and affordable ghillie builds. This is a summer ghillie, just in time for winter to come around . It's super lightweight, super breathable, nothing on my front to snag on and drag half the forest floor with me while I'm low crawling along the ground. Also has elastic loops on the base, so I can stick a bunch of natural vegetation in it too.

 

I have a 2nd webtex concealment vest and more than enough material to make a 2nd, so all in it'll be £120 for two ghillies, so £60 per ghillie and I'll have a summer one and a winter one. Used a lot of the green materials (not all), but still got the vast majority of the khaki and brown stuff, so a winter variant will be easy to do.

 

Build is:
Webtex concealment vest

Novritsch raffia (in total about 1 bag used, but mostly greens from two bags)

Novritsch camo material (less than half a bag used)

Nothing too exciting. 

But some 3d printed bits to finish off the DCA 6x acog I've been working on making accurate. 

[Davegolf]

A 6x ACOG is something I really wish was more readily available and accurately copied, such a nice looking optic.

[mightyjebus]

Been teaching myself Fusion 360 after too many years working with Sketchup. Not bad for my first project and it's on the printer now (it's a MP5SD5 Foregrip with Picatinny rails built in for the TM MP5SD5 NGRS)

[mightyjebus]

I like it when a plan comes together...finished results

Oddly, I've just gone the other way with my SD. Boy wanted a collapsible stock on his mp5, so we swapped. But if a faff getting the wires to the front but a couple of deans plugs and it's reversible. 👍

Ignore the scope, we were having a giggle about the range of it, so I stuck a scope on it 😁😂

G'day Bruce....😁

[RostokMcSpoons]

@Egon_247 ... Australian, by any chance?  Or are you just intent on making my neck hurt? 

 

I do love MP5's, gotta get me one some day.  Or an HK53.

Sorry, the phone was doing odd things. I'll see if I can swap them over. 😂

Edit: that's better. 😂😂

I have a G3 that I'm slowly turning into a beastie too. Still overspinnininning but hey, I'll get it sorted.

ShadowFoam, finishes off the Cams quite nicely I think

Well, gotta have somewhere snug for the Sig and the 416 backup to rest
