This is an older RPK I just finished up. It’s been completely redone and machined.
I machined the booster section shorter.
Board out the the one piece upper emitter and made a nipple adapter and well as made a longer shaft go down through the neck, cut the neck and made the emitter spin. I also cut off the pommel and rotated it to the correct position and a new hole was drilled for the vintage boot stud. Also DS2 V2 Trooper Trent stencils have been added.
Vintage boot stud. Weathered and painted by myself.
love my DS2 V2 and wanted to try to model this V2 after it. Other than the D-ring which I feel like was the only noticeable flaw I loved everything about it. So after a re-haul machining makeover here it is.

Folmer Graflex Clamp.
Wanna Wanga long lever.
Trooper Trent DS2 V2 stencils.
Slothfurnace vintage v2 card.
Accurate V2 d-ring.

Looks great! I really like the pommel damage, looks natural. Did you use a rotary tool, whack it with pointy things, or something else?

Thanks, I used everything, Dremel, scratch awl, slotted screwdriver and hammer.
