TK bondservnt[501st] Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 perhaps try an aluminum conduit tube? and enter from the muzzle side? (inner barrel suggestion) Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) perhaps try an aluminum conduit tube? and enter from the muzzle side? (inner barrel suggestion) Good idea:-).. I was contemplating an electrical tube or a wooden stick to keep the weight down...... Edited October 24, 2013 by SorenM Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Well Made some final weathering, drilled out the lower trigger so it is no longer attached to the trigger guard, painted the S and F lettering, sprayed matte varnish on everything except the butt stock and pistolgrip, and installed the inner barrel, I found a wooden stick with a matching diameter (16 mm)..... That is it I think... Edited October 24, 2013 by SorenM 1 Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 Looks like the real thing! Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Posted October 24, 2013 Looks like the real thing! As compliments go in this "area of work", it does not get any better than that:-).. Thanx Vern:-) Quote
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks for the first hand look today. Really like it A shame Doopy didnt include the rear sight and safety switch thoug, but you would probably just have made them working Now who was that Major who yelled "stram op" on my way out?? Did you influence him, or was it the other way around?? Any way, all I could do was yell "YES SIR!!" Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Posted October 25, 2013 Welcome Mate!.. Yes a shame..maybe he can send me the missing pieces..but right you are..if I can get my hands on a kit, with the right parts..I would definately make as many as possible Work:-) He is my boss, we go way back, and yes..he has taken a liking to my motto "STRAM OP"....:-)..you gave the only answer there is to be given:-) Quote
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 Hehe thought so. Felt a bit alone in your building. Too many Stars Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Posted October 25, 2013 yup that is all there is around these parts...and the occasional Chevron...:-) Quote
Logon Posted October 27, 2013 Report Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Really nice work Soren!Can't you make a rear sight and saftey or buy it from the states? Do you know if doopy makes a kit? Edited October 27, 2013 by Logon Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Posted October 27, 2013 Really nice work Soren! Can't you make a rear sight and saftey or buy it from the states? Do you know if doopy makes a kit? I might be able to make one or even use a rear sight from an mg 42, if they are similar...Maybe buy it in the states DoopyDoos do not offer a kit, just talked to Casey yesterday, and the recasting is crazy apparently, so he is not willing to sell kits, which is totally understandable.... Casey though has said he can send me a safety catch, the rear sight is another thing, apparently it is quite flimsy when made from resin, thus making it not too good for trooping....so waiting out for him to get back to me:-) Quote
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 Contact Alfredo in Germany. He made a rear sight for Michaels DLT Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Posted October 28, 2013 Contact Alfredo in Germany. He made a rear sight for Michaels DLT Thanks for the heads up....:-).. Got his contact details?.. Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Holy crap. Soren. I had boot envy... now I have DLT envy. That thing turned out gorgeous! -Eric Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Posted November 1, 2013 Holy crap. Soren. I had boot envy... now I have DLT envy. That thing turned out gorgeous! -Eric Thank you so much Eric:-) glad you like it....I am pretty happy about the result as well...no need for envy I will offer painting services ( but shipping might be a tad steep in price)... If you want:-) The mg42 sight that I got turned out to be quite different than the mg34 sight, so I got in touch with Alfredo ( German Garrison), and he cast me a rear sight and a safetycatch, which will be in tha mail shortly....lets see how that pans out......

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted November 1, 2013 Report Posted November 1, 2013 apples and oranges between the two guns 34 and 42. should be able to get a metal replica of the 34 rear. Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Posted November 1, 2013 Right you are Vern, but now the resin ones have been ordered and paid for, so that will have to suffice:-) Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted November 1, 2013 Report Posted November 1, 2013 take the resin to a machinist and make metal replica Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Sounds tempting....we will see.....not that much time left before I leave for an operational tour...... Edited November 1, 2013 by SorenM Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Posted November 10, 2013 Made a "rack" for my DLT-19..... And found the perfect spot for my EIB certificate as well... Quote
