I was holding out to post the finished rifle, but I figured I`give you all something to look at so you can get an idea of whats to come........

Its a small video (1.5 megs) of the action cycling. The rifle is about 75% complete at this point. and should be done very soon. I came across some spare time the past few days and have really cranked a lot out on this thing. I`m gonna hold off on a lot of details at this point. I will indulge when it is finished.......


Action Video

Enjoy.

Holy crap... thats is one of the sweetist things I have ever seen in my life. Just wow. And how did you get the bolt to lock back when loading the clip?

[boltsniper]

may be hard to see in the vid but the charging handlle will lock into a catch in the receiver by rotating it lsightly upwards when fully retracted

What can I say other than that is yet another fine accomplishment by an alumni of VT engineering?

Really cool video man; keep us updated.

[fastkill]

AWSOME! I want to know how to do that when your finished with it. DAMN!

3 questions…

1) On the left side of the mag port there is a thin metal rod that has a 90° angle to it…what does this piece do?

2) The shells in the mag are under pressure due to the spring located inside the mag…how are the shells kept inside the mag?

3) When the bolt flies forward, does the pvc that the bolt is made of catch on the back rim creating a seal and when the bolt is pulled back to eject the shell, the force from the shell below ejects the shell? If this is the case how is the shell below the shell going to be ejected not be ejected also?

Do you think you could explain this to me?

[notorious oxide]

the 90 degree peice of metal is probably a catch for the clip.
thats what i think anyway

[taita cakes]

Simply smashing baby!

If that's a taste, I can't wait for the main course, or are there more entrees to come?

I really wish we had more real engineers in this community. Ok Shinny, spotlights on you.

Thanks BoltSnipes, you're an asset to the community,

Talio.

Ok Shinny, spotlights on you.

Eep. We'll see what I can cook up over the summer. School is just nuts right now.

[last man standin]

That Is the finest peice of foam-firing hardware I've ever seen. Nerf should pay you for Ideas.

[rawray7]

amazing. my only question is: What supplies the power to eject the shells out the side? i'm sure this will be answered in due time though, so feel free to ignore me.

[PissBacon]

I can't wait til it's done. Looks like it will not only be a great functioning homemade, but a damn good looking one.
