Aod Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Ledpocket, i think that it is safe to call you the GOD of Lathework. could you make me a silencer like yours (this one here) and how much roughly would you charge me (if you should do it)? Thanks. Dan. Link to post Share on other sites

Jimisin73 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Heya Led, Ask me about my 90' 535i next time we're out at a skirmish...I'd trade it to ya for a Couple of AEGs or GBBs....its the perfect project car LOL Can't wait to see what you come up with next Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Got myself a 14mm ccw die for threading external threads Barrel extension: And another small one I made for my '36 And another little project I've been working on. Added the G3 retractable stock to my metal K. Also made an aluminum bolt, a new cocking handle, and a small bushing for the nitro vo rail to replace the bushing they provide...I like the flush look a little better.

Ledpocket Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 The rest of the pics: with the "big brother" g3 sas: Link to post Share on other sites
badkarma1354 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Looks very scifi. I like the G3 better without the stock though. Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Like that 'pug-nose' MP5 Talking of home-made silencers... When the switch is on, the laser is activated when the gun is tilted to the left by 25 degrees or so, then goes off when the gun's held upright again. Aren't lathes ace...got mine for £170 secondhand... Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 M14 bolt catch mod: Take this part off: and grind the nub/tit off the back. So it looks like this: don't lose the spring. Reassemble. Pull the bolt back and push here: and the bolt will be locked back. Give a tug on the bolt, or push the lever to release. That's it Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Led, where (i.e. what gun) is this part from?.. Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 It's for the mp5k. It is the replacement front sight block that comes with the nitro vo rail kit. My homemade barrel bushing is already in it, the one it comes with is off to the side. Link to post Share on other sites
Faust Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 fairly speechless... thats just beyond anything i could even conceive of doing let alone attempting it! its just quality Link to post Share on other sites

Ledpocket Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Thanks guys But really, modding stuff is easy. Just cant be scared to toss $ down the drain if you screw up (or have a bunch of epoxy handy to glob over your mistakes) Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 modding stuff is easy Particularly when you have a lathe to play with, among other things... I love my lathe Link to post Share on other sites

I find all my troubles and worries melt away when I'm working on the lathe. Concentrating on not damaging appendages or vital organs is excellent "therapy for the soul" I just wish I would have bought the 8x12 so I could make longer stuff Link to post Share on other sites

I love the M14 bolt catch thing, i havent had time to try it on my M14, I have bigger fish to fry, such as fitting my Marui M14 into a real M14 Fiberglass stock... Drill bit, Dremel, and a ###### load of elbow greese, here i come! Maybe I should start a picture documentary in arnies too What happened to the Underbarrel mod thing that u were doing to the G3 Shorty? Wasent it supposed to be a master key? or why is there the big box of doom under the front? Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge133 Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Once I get around to it im going to mod my M14 to make the bolt lock back as per Led's intructions. Thanks for saving me the hours or even days on trying to figure out how to do it! Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Very welcome on the mod tip for the m14. The g3 sas big battery holder foregrip hasn't gone anywhere lately (still just a rough hack job) but maybe I'll get back to it one of these days... Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 The latest project I'm working on is a Thompson conversion to a "chicago typewriter" type. I've made a semi-close ribbed barrel and front grip, and I'm working on a drum mag hicap (not auto winding) Here's what I have so far...a 2 piece barrel (so I can go ultra shorty, if I wish) with removable compensator: I've changed up the front grip a bit since the pic, and made a new mounting bracket, new pics later today or tomorrow (should have it painted by then, too) edit: spelling Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Stage 2 is underway... First a couple of real steel photo's to set the mood: Notice that there are 2 sizes of real steel drums? I'm going for the big one Here's what I've got: with the stick mag: Backside of the drum: I'll be installing the mag, and adding more bb capacity, but again, no auto winding mech. Plenty of room to store a large 8.4v Link to post Share on other sites
Jimisin73 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Led, Have you thought about trying to wire contact points for the battery into the mag well and the drum, like the new STAR M249? Perhaps they could be wired to the right hand inside of the magwell and the right side of the high cap. Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I considered it, but I figure I won't be changing mags much, and it will be simpler/more reliable to just use the mini connectors I have on all my batteries. It would be a cool feature, but more trouble than it's worth IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

It would be a cool feature, but more trouble than it's worth IMO. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wuss All kidding aside, that's understandable. Is that drum just the standard high cap to box mag conversion, or something special? Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 *will be* a low-tech std drum. Looking at it from the back, the left side will have a ramp feeding into the hicap and hold the extra bb's. The right side will be the battery compartment. The bottom will allow access to the hicap winding wheel for manual winding. Right now, I envision the back plate being 2 semi-circles that hinge open to allow access to the internals...that might change to a fixed cover with a couple access "hatches" I'm not positive yet. Of course a dummy winder for the front is a necessity Top right will be a small access point for the battery wire, and the receiver will have the wiring run to the closest point allowable (looks like I might be able to get it right into the magwell--and have no wiring exposed) I'm hoping to get this done in the next couple days.
