Progress has been made on restoring the MG-81.

MG-81 Flash Hider Restoration for Nick - Prop Chop Shop

A real MG-81 flash hider to restore. Very rare and I never thought I'd see one in person. I start getting the rust off and cleaned up before finishing.

Looking great so far! I can’t wait to see the video! :-D

Before and after!

I honestly couldn’t be happier with how this restoration turned out. Believe it or not, it looks even better in person, and definitely worthy of going on my genuine parts DL-44 build, which was what I was hoping for. The close up photo of the “after” really accentuates the remaining imperfections because of the high res and close perspective. In person, the pitting doesn’t jump out at you at all.

Be sure to check out Dustin’s video series he put together covering how he brought this old relic back to its former glory:

Part 2 -

Part 3 -

for sure, the result is really great. Seing the flash hider before the restoration, I never imagined it would be as nice as this.
nice job

Outstanding, NickCline and scottjua. Thanks for sharing the video and the story behind this beauty.

Like you have said all these parts have a story. And this is what I love most about this hobby.

Excellent work, that is a master piece

The wife and I finally got around to taking the DL-44 to the range a couple weekends ago!

Big shoutout to Crucible Custom Props for not only piecing together a prop that looks exactly like it came off the 1977 big screen, but something that performs safely and reliably. No small feat.

All that gear on it really helps minimize the recoil huh? Looks really fun to shoot.

Doing a little overhaul to my original post since it’s been a while and a lot has changed.

Some fresh pics if anyone would like to see!
