Reposting lost data....
The Goal: WW2 MG34 Light Machine gun
The inspiration:
Someone from the US WW2 airsoft forums modified an AK to look sort of like the MG34...his mod is the middle pic.
I wanted to go a step further and make look a bit more like the MG34 than an AK with a weird looong barrel.
I decided to use PVC for this project. A metal version will be done in the future, after this practice build.
Here are the humble beginnings...
Apparently, the AK has a weird angle between the barrel and the receiver (part of the reason i don't like the AK). The don't follow a straight line, making it necessary to place the AK receiver at an angle inside the PVC receiver:
I've made the butt stock out of laminated 3mm Sintra (PVC foamboard). Applied putty and sanded the butt stock.
Test fitting...
The cone for the flashider came from a large spool of thread from a tailor shop.
The holes are a little smaller than i wanted. I only have a dremel so these are the largest i could make em. The front sight was hacksawed from a HK416 gasblock, the rear sight is a cannibalized Kar98 rearsight modified with some sheet sytrene. Rear sight is fully adjustable for elevation. Bipod is from an HKG3SG1.
Almost done...
Done! Just have to do some durability upgrades. No chrono yet.
It's weird tho. It's seems massive!!! It's only 2 inches longer and 1/4th inch wider than the real thing (to preserve proportions) but it's huge, up to mid chest. Landsers must have been really tall back then.
Here are some pics...
w/ my fake plastic bullet belt:
They look ok enough from afar but very plasticky up close...but for 10usd, i'm not complaining.
