what about using small diameter PVC tubing for the barrel. I actually used the PVC tube from a set of window blinds...but there are some really small diameter plumbing tubes as well...

You should include scope rails and brackets...wink wink nudge nudge....

Gotcha! I was not implying otherwise, I was just chiming in from my iPad down in my workshop...

I do not know if this has been posted, but Adam had a fascinating discussion on his "Still Untitled" podcast about recasting. Enjoy!

I was just going to say that. Use the 38mm electrical conduit. that will work best...

OMG, that is my DREAM workspace. I simply can not afford even a "Small" lathe like yours, to say nothing of the milling machine. I am SOOOOO jealous...

Can not wait for my PM!

Hell, I'll ride in a large doggie crate!

OUTSTANDING!

Actually, as long as you do not add a functional barrel, you can weld them all together in MOST US states. Check your local laws. Here in Virginia I can do that without a problem, as long as I make sure it can not function. In NY, especially the five Boroughs, You have Bloomberg and his anti-gun Nazis to worry about...

I put one in the front side pointed to the eyes, and one behind my ear to circulate air through the helmet. -------------

Thanks Brother!

UPDATES !?!?!?

Andy, Would you be willing to sell these in kit form as well as a fully finished version? I enjoy the process of building these kind of things, and I am handy with tools. You could include the flat metal plate with a template for the holes and such, cylinder components (tubes, caps nuts, screws etc,), resistors/ capacitors, and any other little parts on the full version. I would buy a couple of those, as I am quite sure I can not afford the whole shebang right now...

See it's 34 degrees F here, so no painting for me...

THIS just to start. Wow, this is EPIC!

Ahhh, I did not read past the first post to see you had already ordered the parts...Let me know if I can help in any way Lou!

lookin good Brother! Love your website BTW...

Here are some additional Measurements and Photos... ------------

I thought AA was verboten here?

I power two squirrel fans with 4AA batteries, and have had very good results. I have had multiple troops from a single set of batteries, and i am now using rechargeable batteries. They are powerful enough to cool me down, and quiet enough for me to hear ok.

Hey Michael. I am really sorry to hear this. I wish you luck, my Brother...

it is downloading now!

Nice looking shop by the way...

That is so funny, I just picked up a cheap torch myself for the same part! I will be posting my WIP soon. I am using a combo of wood, plastic, metal and real gun parts...
