The Gun Thread

A few others for your viewing pleasure;

I make these for the MAC submachine gun community. SMGVegas (Tom) passed away a few years back. He was an invaluable source of info in the MG world. He came up with these tabs. They are brazed to the back of a Sten magazine to allow it to be used in place of a single feed Suomi magazine for Suomis and Lage Max31 uppers. Sten mags are basically garbage but they are cheap. Suomi drums and coffin mags are not.

Designed and machined a reweld jig for a UK-59. The UK is pretty rare. Czech belt fed in 7.62x54r. A wild experience to shoot. I also designed and machined the semi auto conversion. Almost broke a window with one of the bold locking wings when I launched it out of a surface grinder when grinding it in for headspace. Oops!

Then I welded the thing together after the denials.

Runs pretty good. Its a handful. Burned the living daylights out of myself at one point on the gas block.

Couldnt find headspace gauges for 7.62x54r so I made some.

Designed and machined a full semi auto conversion for the DPM. This is the firing pin, FP bushing and the locking block that spreads the locking wings.

Turned this pile of parts

Into this

WAY over my level, but I Love reading about it.

Got a stamp the other day. Designed and machined an adapter for the VZ61 to put an original stock back on it. The Czechpoint receiver doesn't have the dovetail and it doesn't support the stock properly making the stock wiggle.

Not really a fan of the bluing but I think the material is D2 which tends to be splotchy.

Another stamp arrived! Fresh wood from the bucket of AK parts. Eventually this and the Galil need KyMo brakes for suppressed use.
