Progress So far.
The power drill has been very useful. It allows me to sand some parts and drill some holes. I was able to drill some holes for the wires to go through.
I also had to modify my V3 gearbox and remove its trigger mechanism. Hopefully there will no no loss of stability.
A picture taken on the iron board. No inner barrel and very bare.
I had to test it out. I was worred the Magazine would get in the way and it didn’t. It was almost perfect. Also, I could possibly hold the gun with one hand in a two point suspension.
I haven’t cut the wires yet, I’m not sure how much I will need.
With the Dragonov Flash-hider, this has a full barrel length of 550mm. It feels like a carbine, but stings like a battle rifle. I can also balance it with one hand and a shoulder.
I will be going to the factory next week. I hope I will find the parts I need. I hope to have this gun ready by the gunban. Or at least be allowed to bring its harmless pieces to the Gun locker in the game site I hope to play. I hope I don’t bother the workers. Thankfully our Plant Manager is a Gun Enthusiast, he has his own Pimped out M4 (real STEEL!). Hope I get some geek cred from the engineers, on doing this on my own. I hope to gain some respect in the ability to act on my own plans and getting my hands dirty.
Things still to be done.
- I have to make a small compartment for the trigger mechnism and a safety switch built into it.
- I have to carve a butt out of wood and
- Then find a suitable laminate cover to give it that plastic like feel and to make its texture match with the rest of the gun.
- Then Realign the sights to the railing, since I don’t have a rear sight (it came off in a game, in a camp colorado- good luck finding that).
