Not finished yet, I need to finesse it tomorrow, but essentially put a machined aluminium tube inside it, Dremel’d out some slots to get the tube to site square. Grub screws to properly secure it tomorrow, it’s currently epoxied. GenuineGerman 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Grub screws to properly secure it tomorrow, it’s currently epoxied. That is a great idea 💡. I would have been thinking about getting the welder on it or profiling a new one. But that is a much better/easier way of doing it. Thanks for sharing Link to post Share on other sites

heroshark 811 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Mag is just bolted on it quite nicely holds an mk23 mag. It's mainly aluminium tube. Afg works as a cocking handle. Link to post Share on other sites
HuttArmouries 263 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Bought a cheap repro mauser 712 stock from china. Been gradually sanding down and refitting the catch and it now slots into my we mauser no problem. To my surprise all the fittings on this cheapo stock are steel so they are getting blued at some point. Also goint to get wooden grips and have a go at refinishing the mauser. rocketdogbert, DRay and TheFull9 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So I made a new one on the lathe out of some spare brass stock. Annoyingly I did find some pre-made metric screws, but I couldn't find the metric tap and die set. So I made both a new screw as well as the handle using BA thread. Added some superglue on the thread for good measure. that reminds me, i need to do something similar to make a new handle for my nuprol speedloader.. damn handle came apart second time i used it.... =/ On 18/09/2020 at 20:20, Albiscuit said: i see the foam inserts you made for your bag, and i have done some similar things with an ex-military missile case (for my RIFs) and a large ammo case (for magazines etc). i think i posted somewhere on the forum that thats what i was planning, but i dont think i posted the final results...

Salz007 6 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Hello good ol'community, I got a question for custom builds/builders. I'm currently on a personal project and have had some people help with the design aspect. I'm moving onto the next phase which is more for function/working condition. Does anyone know of a place/company that can assist with making a functional 3D printed airsoft gun, or have advice on the next phase? I have a few mock 3D molds at present. Many thanks, Tackle 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Supporters Tackle 2,800 Posted January 22 Supporters Share Posted January 22 The OP, @AK47frizzle is actually in the trials process with his own design of Airsoft gun, he'd probably be the best person for advice, assuming your design isn't too much like his, then he might rightly tell you to feck off 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan09 105 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 At some point i would also like to see about making my own airsoft gun, but i need more money behind me first, as it would require a lot of work. The gun i want to make would probably have to be a GBB as the (rare) real steel is mostly exposed workings due to it being a conversion from a bolt action rifle into a LMG... (so no place to hide a gearbox and motor) Is there any requirement to get a home made GBB proofed (or a similar test) before it can be used on fields? Tackle 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Spartan09 105 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I did knock together a bb trap target for my back garden, so i can do some shooting during lockdown to relieve a bit of boredom... I know it doesnt look like much, it was quickly knocked together from some cheap timber so that if required i can quickly pull it apart and store it in pieces between my shed and fence without faffing around with complex fastenings etc... plus the simple construction allows me to make quick repairs if needed.... A bit of wire across the opening allows me to hang paper targets, or i can put knock-down targets inside the trap I am adding more padding inside the target though, as i did get a couple of ricochets during test shots, so until i have the appropriate materials to hand i wont be using it again. 8 minutes ago, Tackle said: & The gun in question is ? Its a Charlton rifle, made by the australian and new zealand armies in early ww2 due to issues getting brens from britain, and a huge surplus of lee enfield rifles from ww1...
