Look what this guy did, from scratch:

Made by Gunner651 at WW2 airsoft.

As "wrong" as it gets, but still looks like FUN! I love it, I'm going by to kype it after it gets dark....No reason at all, not to be proud of the effort. Especially the AK start.

I wouldn't be making my MacGlashan right now, if it wasn't for his bravery in posting it.

I would likely go broke with wanting to put the best internals possible in the AK that would reflect the awesomeness of that gun. not going to say that I won't attempt to make one of your creations one day though.

But then you might never DO it!!!

By all means, wing it, both the M2HB and the 1919's original Browning sideplate drawings are available on the inner-tubes. Get some scrap plastic, and steadfastly refuse to spend a dime on it.

Or do it your way, and have your neighbor wing it. Who do you think is going to be rattling WHOSE windchimes* first?

*These can make good practice targets that sound pretty!

They look very nice!

I'd live to have one of those with working internals.

Hahaha! M2 bulpup! It should be called a Chiropractrician dream! Or the shoulder busting machine!

I do belive WW2 Leecas has one of these (airsoft of course) or something similar.

ON TIGHTBORES, MY OPINION

On tightbores: Unless you are committed to purchasing ONLY the best ammo you can find, SKIP them. I've found them to be the biggest root cause of jams.

Everybody scrimps on ammo, once they start really spraying it. Ten solid minutes of playtime equals a pantload of airsoft pellets consumed. Even at a slow rate of fire, that's TWO $20 bags.

But say, you ONLY buy the BEST ammo?
99.9% perfect of 10,000 shots leaves 100 or so less than perfect rounds. Any one of them can jam in a tight barrel...

6.03mm's are the tightest I'd go, any smaller is just bragging rights and potential heartache. The gun HAS to be kept surgically clean, or it WILL malfunction.
If I was marketing super-tights, I'd charge the MOST I could get for them, knowing half would be returned by customers who tried to use them with sub-grade ammo, had a problem, and blamed it on the barrel.

Dees, you out there? Dees? ...Dees?
Seems a stout price was no savior, after all.

I've built and shipped over 300 guns. 20 had upgraded tightbores. And didn't need them. I worried they'd come back. None did, but I still would rather have a standard barrel in these ,if I'd kept them.

Consider a slightly looser (really, is .02mm really making your ***** that much bigger in a conversation?) bore to be a "fail-safe' part of the design, and pursue performance gains elsewhere.

Keep in mind, firing a round projectile has physical limitations. Ask any black-powder guy, he'll concur.

Spending hundred$ on making a .28g round ball hit a tiny target at range, gets silly VERY fast.
