nezza51 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 ,I was wondering if there was a decent Kit for a T-21 around? maybe just the body ( as would be easier to import to Australia without the pipe/barrel) .I've see there is one from 'Fox flier' any good? and is there others? Quote
nezza51 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Posted June 3, 2014 OK ,by the lack of response.I take it as I should attempt a build....weighing up the options of buying tools or kit.my be the cheaper option and doing the pipe work myself Quote
Dday[501st] Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 Doesn't Doopy Doo make a T21 kit? Check for them on ebay, as I would not suggest buying directly from doopy's website. Quote
TrainWreck[501st] Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 I've never personally seen one. You could probably find a Lewis replica kit but for the price I've seen those go for you might as well buy a pre built one or a hyperfirm. Really a scratch build is your only option for cheap (that I know of). Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 I haven't seen a kit but there are lots of plans available to make one, or sellers on MEPD who do runs of them Quote
nezza51 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Posted June 4, 2014 OK,weighing up my options....I'm going to scratch-build as obtained templates of a Lewis ....But anybody got a picture of the detailing of the gun-sight? Im after the numbers engraved on the front ( I think it would be cool to be super detailed ) small detail but would help heaps... Quote
TrainWreck[501st] Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 This has a close-up of the top of the receiver but no close-up of the sight. http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/detail/1914_lewis.htm Quote
nezza51 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Thanks TrainWreck, Might have a go at this with my engraving tool.and Cool site ,did you buy it? wow also what is that little brass cylinder that is embedded in the stock called? and what is it?( a pic would be nice aswell ) Edited June 4, 2014 by nezza51 Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Best picture I have found so far Quote
TrainWreck[501st] Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 LOL. I don't even have the cash to finish my T21 build let alone buy a Lewis. I don't outright remember what that was called but had something to do with on oil or lubricant resivour in the stock. This site has a bunch of info on the Lewis plus downloadable pdfs of the various user manuals throughout the years. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/light-machine-guns/lewis-light-machine-gun/ Quote
