Dark Knight - Joker's M76 Machine Gun Build WIP

[BornKilr]

Just getting started on a commission build for a S&W M76 machine gun replica for a Dark Knight Joker display.
Just finished all cutting all major parts

Receiver. magazine and handle

.
Upper receiver and barrel shroud (with hole template)

This is what the finished product should look like, other than color and a few improvements. This was my first build from several years ago.

Been away for awhile, getting some work done. This build is nearly complete. Just some final sanding, adding the folding stock and final paint, and it should be done.

Had to post a reply to this. I'm looking to make one of these, are there any plans /blueprints for it?

Thanks

You'll have to reach out to BornKilr...he did an excellent job on the replica at a fair price with terrific communication and updates.

In fact, I'd probably pick up another one if he ever did a few...I sold mine with my 1:1 Ledger Joker

Well, there were 'plans', but they were created by me from photos of the actual gun. They are pretty haphazard with no notations of any kind. Some of the parts were set up for a CNC router, some a laser cutter and some for hand cutting on a scroll saw. Its very possible that some of the parts were modified on the fly if they didn't work and the changes never made it back to the 'blueprints'. And some of the detail was created by scratch. I'll look this weekend for the files and try to find the most recent/complete version. They were created in Illustrator CS5 but should open in any of the newer versions.

Excellent buddy, thankyou.

I will of course pay for any info/plans tou may have.

Hey, man. Haven't forgotten you. Just got busy this past week. I think I've found most of the final art and will merge it into one file.

Heys guys, if anyone is interested, I'm thinking of starting an interest thread for this build. I've had a little activity lately so figured I'd throw it out there. I'm gonna start reconning material prices (since things have gone up so much right now) then check what parts I still have on hand, then depending on interest, I can get some pricing info together.
