Finally after 3+ years i have all the parts.

The parts:
_Hudson M1A1 PFC, Not sure if it works. dont have cartridges. It was a little beat up, but now is great with a petina that only 30 years can give, polish all the internals and works great, o should blue the bolt to be more accurate.
_Tanaka m870, with steel bolt and real steel trigger group
_Real steel Spas 12 cage, made all the cuts
_HCG aluminum shrouds and steel vent, courtesy of Matt
_Pistol grip, from Matt, i believe he told me is a new design
_Steel butstock, barrel extension, mag base and front block, from the infamous SDS
_Sling from noble

Hope you like it
Tks

Re: Pulse Rifle built

Forgot i have the lifhtbenders counter, if <nyone knows the way to connect it to the trigger, please let me know.

And a little update.
First cut the barrel and fit the barrel extension, that i have to say it was a little harder than i anticipated

I smooth the gap with epoxy, tried with metal but i couldnt.

Paint the epoxy and alublack for the rest of the barrel, also blued the bolt and attach the screen accurate stock, cant think of a way to make it collapsible, if you do, please tell, in the creen used it looks like the used something bolt to the stock, but cant tell from the pics i have

So, im done with the thompson, now to butcher the 870

Re: Pulse Rifle built

a little update, i finish the 870, cut the barrel, action bar and mag tube, add the plate, as the action is not made of steel i couldnt weld it, so i jb welded.

And here is how everything fits together. Made the spacer with a piece of resin, super basic, but it does the job

Was a little scared about this, but i was happily surprised how everithing click together relatively easy.

Update
Finish with the spas, by adding the plate thing on the left side, also made an aluminium spacer .

And fit the spas and vent to the thompson and made the aluminium spacar (1/2"x6mm) blackened with alublack.

Re: Pulse Rifle built

Now with the mag base, i was tempted to use the resin one i got from matt, because this thing has the worst design.

first you have this thing, that, for what i undestand, you have to remove the plate from the mag, cut the tabs and drill this in to the mag

And this is what i did

And after some fitting bolt it to the mag plate

Last test fitt and function check, was happily surprised to see how close i am, i need to paint the mag base, hopping it much with hummbrol OD, because striping the paint from the shrouds is not going to be fun and i like the scratches it has. and lastly fitt the electronics, so i repet my question about conecting the cable to the trigger.

Wonderful looking M-41A. You can get a sense of the "heft" to it by looking at all those parts. Very well done.

The counter kits that I know of are usually built around an airsoft platform. Apparently it's just a simple matter of hooking it up the the AEG's motor. With a PFC gun, I'm at a loss...I'm not quite sure how you would accomplish the count short of a mechanical button or switch somewhere inside up against the trigger mechanism.

Found this video online...I have no idea about this product, but it does seem to demonstrate a mechanical button that is used for the lowering of the counter.

Can't wait to see it all finished!

I also have this same problem!! I have the lightbenders pulse rifle counter but I'm stuck on how to wire it up without loosing the airsoft function!! I've emailed Matsuo who helped design the board to work with the HCG shrouds. So when I get an answer ill post the info here! I've taken The gearbox apart and it's a very tight fit for a switch. I will let you know when I know!!
