I can only think of this song when I see them now!
Having a clean up, and found this old extending stock/ buffer tube.
Not sure what its off of…
Thinking i might try a la @Friendly_Fire , to put it on the Hanke.
Along with the pistol grip.
Here a close up of the buffer tube…
It was originally one piece twist/ rotate on and off.
It does have some thread on the end of the tube, but i suspect its just fake thread for show.
What do you reckon,
Hacksaw the twist part of the buffer tube off, and see if the fake thread fits.?
If it does, (loosely) thicken with tape and araldite it?
Which stock / tube did you use.?
@BME That’s a Well M401 back end. If you cut it off it might screw into the M97… don’t glue it in though, you’ll never get the shell apart again.
Couldn’t tell you what I used, might have been an X-Force buffer tube, dunno but of the two that I tried only one screwed up tight.
You’ll just have to do what I did and try different ones until you find one that will tighten up.
Excellent work mate, and you win a Cookie for bonus feet shots as well!
Looks good!
Reckon it would work well and last a long time once finalised too.
I’ve always wondered how a well toleranced pom nozzle with matching alloy cylinder head would go, as the right tolerance would seal pretty well and require almost no lube (ouch)
More projects I got off my bench!
She is done! Now fits SLR mags… dam the polymer lower did not want to file out to fit SLR mags but it eventually happened!
Changed to ldt cylinder head nozzle and tpiece, and printed a terminal plate to actuate the mags gell ball stopper and it feeds and seals like a champ! I few carefully placed pieces of aluminium tape on the t-piece wings to stop it wiggling and its good! Also a 285mm 7.5mm alloy barrel.
Also now has SHS 13:1 gears short 3 teeth, full stainless cylinder, m110 spring, trimmed tappet plate, SHS bushings, new piston and head, and an optical t238 and 28k t238 brushless motor.
Very happy with it.
Slaps a neat 315fps at 27rps.
And fixed a mates SLR that I upgraded last year.
Last year I gave it a JG metal gearbox, 16:1 gears short 1 tooth, piston, m100 spring, a 275mm barrel, and an chihai m150 “super motor”.
It’s return spring packed it in, so while in there I cleaned and greased it up again. Did notice the anti reverse latch was worse for wear so replaced that, and the m100 spring had suffered heat stress, delaminating the coating everywhere!
Yes my mate has zero mechanical sympathy, and I always spend most of my efforts trying to make it good but more reliable than anything.
All done and it’s pumping 330fps and 23rps.
And for those interested… the buffer tube has been cut down, and I designed and printed a sleeve for the stock so you can fit a massive battery in it.
And just when I think I’m on top of everything… another mate gives me a call this evening!
That SCAR…
Even sexier with that UGL.
Hey @RokSolid … would you be okay with me starting a thread dedicated to your YouTube channel?
I’ve noticed that you’ve never commented on here about your channel, and would love if everyone else here got to enjoy it and support you as best as we can.
I don’t mind, I have never mentioned it as it has never come up
I am also not one to “self plug”
Also have stalled in the release of videos due to audio issues. (hours of footage with a summer fan blasting in the background!)
I think I have that sorted, and will be back to it in the next few weeks, new job has me allocating less hours too
Currently, only a few more beginner style educational videos, but the next ones are more a ranting lunatic style with a blaster apart on the bench with helpful education… infotainment?
That M203 looks familiar?
It should, Doc…
Nothing shitty about that. It’s 7.62mm right. Oops wrong forum
Yes ASIO I am right here, it’s a busy day. KMA
Yep… MK17, 7.62 cal
My BF (bing feng not…) has piss poor performance ootb, but fuck it looked good.
300 out of this one… a lot of gearbox work to get it there though. Bing Feng…
Yea kinda the same
