What are you going to do about a piston? Are you just going to form the end of the boltcarrier into a piston shape or cutoff the end of the boltcarrier and try to attatch a tiny piston on to it?
I think Ill cut and retap the carrier and make a new piston.Ill probably have to run the tube back into the rear site block and fix it to it permenently.I dont know yet. First Ill have cut on the rear site a little so it will go past the trunnion some . Ill have to cut some of the nose of f the top cover too and maybe Ill even have to cut the ejection port alittle dont know yet.
no that was a 8" model.That was based on a Maadi barrel this is a Russian Saiga barrel I got from someone who tried to make a rifle and bent a brand new barrel all to hell so I got it for the postage. LOL
Thank You. The Good Lord & I put that one together. With alot of help from my friend Ed in Ohio. Had it at Knob Creek and the folks got a charge out of it. Working on a shorter version -
Plan to make a "nicer" video to post, very soon.
Don't want to hijack Droog's thread, but I am anxious to see how he makes out.
HA Ha Ha I caught that one Steve. Yeah its gonna be fun but I just have to try.I need one of those like another hole in my head but Ill try it anyway just if for no other reason than just to see if it can be done.
I understand what you're saying. Oh yes they're fun to shoot but the ANTICIPATION and HOPING YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING NEW when you're building away & brainstorming in the shop - well, that level of happiness is hard to describe. At least for me. I believe it's the same for just about everyone else here too.
I am sincerely hoping you get'er up and running with minimum hassles and postive results. This may be a cliff-hanger.....
Thanks Hotbarrel for the confidence. I hope you are right.Seeing as how this is a Rrrrrussian Siaga barrel and 22mm Ill have to hunt down a trunnion. I may have to locate a 22mm AK 74 trunnion and mill the magwell out alittle.
