Limited Run DL44 TFA Blaster Kit

This is really rough and I am using it as a template, but here is the other side of mine. v2 will be ALOT better. This took about 40 minutes in AutoCAD and then about 5 minutes to cut. I couldn't find my deburring tool so the edges are a little rough.

Accuracy and beauty is in the eye of the beholder (for most things LOL)
the only thing that counts is if you are happy with the way you make it,

These are looking really great so far :cheers

I like better painted too. Can I ask you a question? Did you cut the screws of the bull barrel or just got a couple shorter? They're super long...

I held them with a set of lineman's pliers and used my sanding station to grind them down to the length i needed, then deburred before screwing them in. Same with the screws that hold the scope mount closed.

Finally finished mine. Well 98% I still want to make the plastic panel out of metal, but this works for now. I filled in the left side holes with JB Weld, and sanded them smooth. I don't mind painting that one small section. I'm also still waiting on the short magazine.

The rest of the gun has been "blued"

 

[Kokanee]

bravo good job!

JustainIAN, that looks great! I know its not much help now, but you can cut the long mag and make it a short mag

Thanks. I figured I could cut the long one down, but I already have the short one on order. It's less work to wait. lol

Justinian: that is my favourite one so far. Beautiful job. I love the flash hider. Few questions. Doe the gun still work i.e. Trigger pull now that the switch has gone and is that the way round it was decided for the mystery knob?

Thank you! Tools, tools everywhere...

Nice job, JUSTINIAN, nice finish.

I think the mystery knob needs to be flipped with the inside step facing down

Feeling the pressure of the left side , i figured i had to get mine done also , but i didnt want to put that plastic piece on so i figured id try to mill in the box in the metal of the gun with my dremmel tool.
first i made a template out of some stainless sheet i had in my garage , to use as a guide to get the edges straight , then i used double sided tape and stuck it to the gun
Then i first cut the edges with a cuttingwheel on the dremmel , and milled out the rest with a milling bit.

Result looked like this , then some blueing and weathering , and i must say im pretty happy with the outcome

Im calling it done for now , might do some more work on the grips though :O)

I think you just proved Kpax's theory! Looks awesome.

 

[Sundowner]

That looks fantastic!!

 

[smiffyraf1]
