dlt19 from demiled mg34


Recommended Posts

Another blaster from real demiled parts. Didn't take pictures during the welding and grinding but here is how it turned out.

 

What I started with.

closeup of the interrupted threads in the rear of the receiver. these were torch cut through, had to weld it together then grind some of the threads so the buffer would attach.

barrel - not going to be used, probably put it on gunbroker.com

strips and disc, still to be attached, also still have to make the battery box.

Looks great! :duim:

 

So, how much does it weigh?

 

15 lbs, knew it was going to be heavy. Most of the parts on a MG34 are machined. I could probably shave about 2 - 3 lbs by getting rid of some of the feed tray mechanism.

I have a hyperfirm also, when I get this one finished I'll take a side by side picture.

Awesome!! Very cool David. :) Are you going to run an electronic module (sound/lights)in it?

Aren't these kits really hard to get now?

 

They were pretty cheap about 8 years ago.

 

you can still find some complete parts kits, they are really expensive now. I bought this one in pieces, receiver and some other parts came from Sarco, some came from brpguns and some from gunbroker.com Hardest part to find was the barrel shroud.

I'd love to see this up close sometime - I'm in northern VA but I try to get up to MD to troop with OLG at least once a year. Do you plan on trooping with this, or will it be a display-only model?

Yes I plan on trooping with it if I ever get my armor done. It is glued together, now I have to strap it and get approved.

 

I would love to add electronics to it, but I need some help with that. All of the led and sound kits for blasters are out of stock.
