Dave in MD Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just finished my E-11. Started with an Apex Sterling Kit, hoping it will meet EIB standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_LEPER Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) The left side image-link isn't working Other than that it looks pretty darn good.

Working on one of these myself. ---------- Try the left side link now, should work. Where did you get your tube ?? I used 1 1/2" DOM tube (thinner that original to keep weight down and make it legal) and a template to make my tube, then I cut down the original parts and tube to match then welded them together. Probably should have took more pictures during the build. Edited September 29, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_LEPER Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yep, works now. What receiver tube did you end up using for it? Looks good! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Thanks, Made it out of 1 1/2" tube and used a template. Trimmed the original parts down and then cut the tube to match those parts, then welded them together.

ObiHahn[TK] Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Your Hengstler is a little off, what part did you use for that? Or is that some counter variant that you used? It's not an "Eagle" Hengstler, that much I can tell. Are these made from metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an "Eagle" Hengstler, that much I can tell. Are these made from metal? Its a Hengstler variant, plastic and no eagle. Still trying to find one of those, didn't like the looks of a resin counter. It is stuck on with the double sided tape used to hold car molding on so if and when I find a real Hengstler I can change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkrestonva[TK] Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thanks, almost have a dlt 19 finished it's made from a demiled MG34. I'd love to see some photos of the demilitarized MG34 and the conversion process to a DLT19. In it's own build thread, of course. AFAIK you'd be the first person here to have done so.

Receiver was in 4 pieces to start and at first I didn't think it was going to turn out. Did a better job of lining things up and welding than I expected, and after some reblueing it looks ok. It has a wood stock, not exactly screen accurate, but the bakelite stocks are just too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
