I don't seem to see a trigger mech, what's going on with that?

 

Edit: Sorry, to clarify I don't see any way to hit the trigger mech, how's that accomplished?

 

I imagine a long trigger bar might be used. It'd probably have to work its way around the mag

and be almost as long as the whole receiver.

As he's using a Tanaka the trigger weigth could be adjustet very light.

Probably even light enough to make it work with a magnet and Radio Control.

A little like the Gamma Claymore mine.

Just an Idea if there are problems getting around the Mag.

A long trigger bar would be more failsafe and so a better solutin for sure.

But if not possible he should have neough space in the "Trigger Areas" for the transmitter and the receiver.

UPDATES!

 

This should be all done tomorrow, here is the lower receiver going together:

The long bar and parts at the bottom are the pieces of the trigger:

For a small gun there was a huge amount of machining required as you can see in these pics:

The remote trigger and magazine release lever, if this isn't clear how it works just ask away:

The front trigger is connected to the rear trigger via that long bar in the background. You can see the notch it sits in here:

The gun itself is a stock Tanaka, I would say the mag is similar in size to an M14 mag. The inner barrel is as long as the outer barrel, I have not measured it but I am sure it is over 500mm.

How big is it? I doesn't look like it can be much bigger than in MP5, and it sure doesn't look like an M14 :rolleyes: . You have to remember this is based on a real steel so it's not his fault if you don't like the Bullpup design, but I agree with that it would look better with a bipod.
