allan1313[TK] Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Posted February 12, 2016 Looking great Allan! great workThanks for the kind words. Once I am done with the armor I can finish this. Not much left besides the front and rear sights. Then paint! Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Quote

fuumantroop[TK] Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 I was going to install a disc, but then my batteries could never be replaced so i left it off 1 Quote
Astyanax Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 The disc is one of the few things that were done to the MG34 that make it a DLT-19. It's crucial, in my opinion. I'm just going to use some velcro with a hole in it to hold it on. That way the disc can be removed for battery replacement. 1 Quote
fuumantroop[TK] Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Ya know, i didnt even think about that! Good addition! Heck even a small screw would work, since you need a screw to take off the battery compartment anyways. On comes the brainstorming! 1 Quote
allan1313[TK] Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Posted February 23, 2016 Here is what I am planning on doing. Since the part that the disc is on is raised going by the reference pics, I am going to make a piece of wood for that area. I panned on holding it on with rare earth magnets, one glued to the wood and one on the handle. This will let me take it off and have access to the battery compartment.

fuumantroop[TK] Posted February 24, 2016 Report Posted February 24, 2016 I just now finished mine after not being happy with it initially. Seeing how all of yall have taken the mod even further, its giving me the itch to disassemble and restart. But thats a whole nother can of worms lol. Hopefully will just order a hyperfirm when the time is right Quote

allan1313[TK] Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Posted March 1, 2016 Got a little work done on the rear sight. So far so good. Also got some other good news, got my Anovos kit approved. TK-97491 ready for action. Now I just need to get the DLT-19 done. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Astyanax Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 Congrats Allan! Question: What kind of tools are you using to shape that wood? That's some fine woodworking there. 1 Quote

That's some fine woodworking there. Congratulations on your approval!Thanks guys. As far as the wood goes, it was mainly just a band saw for the large cuts and a little hand saw for the finer details. Here is a pic with my little E-11 until I can finish this. 2 Quote
allan1313[TK] Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Posted March 2, 2016 A little more work done on the rear sight. Its coming along nicely if I do say so myself. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote

allan1313[TK] Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Posted March 6, 2016 I am finished with the rear sight. The project is nearing completion. Only a few more details then onto painting. 2 Quote
allan1313[TK] Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 Today I did some work on the conical disc area. So I cut a piece of wood and used the dremel to sand the shape of the grip. I think I will be using magnets to attach it to the grip so that I can pop it in and off to have access to the battery compartment. That will come later, need to test some magnets out.

T K[501st] Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 Wow! This is looking good! I've always like the look of a DLT-19. Keep at it! 2 Quote
allan1313[TK] Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Posted April 18, 2016 Its been a long time, but I worked on it for a few minutes yesterday. I wanted to have the battery compartment still be accessible. I decided to go with some rare earth magnets. I made some holes in the piece I made for the handle/disc and glued the magnets in. Next I will glue magnets to the handle so that the piece can be removable and give access to the battery compartment so I can change batteries when needed. Onward and upward.
