No place else to put this in, and a WW1 thread would be real lonely real quick so... 1886 Lebel VSR-10 conversion

Ok, this is the last

Alright, fine. Just normal builds for now.

On the old one, the shelf the spring sits on has square corners. The reinforced one has rounded ones following the contour of the bolt carrier.

I've been using CYMA rear sight blocks in my GBB builds and they come with very beefy leaf springs. I've also noticed they changed the support for it to have about as much material as real ones vs old cracked ones I used to see which were thin.

I'm guessing they're having manufacturing issues with the mag. It's really overly complex than it has to be with the removable gas tank.

This one's with just the o-ring change. Blowback with the V3 kit is similar, but will empty 2 consecutive mags worth. (1) Raptor MP-443 fix. Details in comment : GasBlowBack (reddit.com)

May as well put one on a stock like an LMG monopod

Raptor - Posts | Facebook Got my V3 upgrade which they sell as a kit through FB. Biggest change is the cup for a piston lid but they've also shortened the trench for valve knocker lock reset so it's not overgassed anymore which helps against cooldown. They also threw in a redesigned trigger bar. A common complaint with the original is the long pre-travel which you'd normally expect for a DA/SA gun. The new trigger bar has the break at around the middle, but as soon as the slide resets the sear, the trigger keeps going back like a long follow through which takes some getting used to.

It does. I'm not sure how the science behind it works, but it really just does.

I've noticed for a while now that the guide rails were getting beat as they're what meets the slide at end of travel. Doesn't seem to affect the gun, but I couldn't shake the thought of the strange cuts on the slide and imagine they must have been made for some kind of buffer inserts. So I cleaned the area out and glued on sections of o-rings in them. No idea how long this will last, but it does seem to work. Also with the reduced rearward travel, the slide has less acceleration when hitting the slide catch. I've read of one case of the slide catch bending due to this force though the guy use

Just a bit of an update: my replacement piston o-ring failed. Actually, I've been expecting it since 2 other friend's I gave them out to failed first. It's a cheap o-ring that I guess somehow swelled from absorbing silicone oil (good quality NBR shouldn't do this) and started to want to pop out when the nozzle clears the piston resulting in it jamming. I could have glued the o-ring down to anchor it in place but decided to explore other o-ring sizes since the first one I tried isn't very easy to find. The closest US size I got is #13 and is very common but it's a hair too small causing a leak

You've seen what I do with AKs, right?

Lens protector I made myself. Just friction fit and rests against the block holding the prism in.

Just when everyone thought I was done messing with PPS shells. Not really sure if this still counts as a shotgun since it doesn't technically shoot bbs. Instead the whole vog body is launched, though rather anemically. Will work better with APS CO2 shells no doubt, or maybe I'll install inner barrels in a few of them to shoot bbs just to mix things up. Firing vid https://imgur.com/5MyBqwi
