Hi all,
As predicted, I'm moving on from my first scratch built DL-44. It's still very popular with the kids. I'm making an airsoft ESB version with some cheap electronics out of a $1 blaster to try my hand at making something that lights up and makes noise. Next on the to-do list is a Denix based ANH DL-44 with real electronics. This will be a long, drawn out process
I'm a big fan of scratch building it myself. I can't figure out the pieces for a good metal scratch built flash hider, so will likely go with a Todd's or DEC creation. I do plan to scratch build the scope and scope mount.
That brings me to this post. I've started the scratch build of a Hensoldt scope. The parts are pretty generic: Copper pipe, PVC coupling, PVC pipe, funnel, sink aerator, some scrap.
Any similar builds out there?
The pipe is 7/8 and the Coupling is 1.5 inches. I have leftover 1/2 PVC from my earlier effort that will go inside the copper pipe. That will work to join the funnel to the pipe.
Here are the raw materials, though the funnel has already been cut.
Any thoughts and input is welcome.
Thanks.
