BFOUR Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 lol, probably a reenactor. Oh well... The wood work is whats going to take the longest. Any of the tools I need are at my girlfriends house, shes at college a few hours away so I wont be getting up to her place for a few weeks. So I guess in the mean time Ill break open the gearbox and do some work in there. And get a mosfet setup. Hey doc any list(s) anywhere of everything I need? Link to post Share on other sites

QQexDERA Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Schultz, have some respect for your elders and betters I was chatting to German relatives about the weaponry they used during the War when you were still having your nappy changed by your mum. I take my research seriously. Always have done... Link to post Share on other sites
BFOUR Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 And your still playing airsoft? Is their a geriatric team somewhere? Just kidding. I appreciate the input but you came off a little strong saying youve been studying this weapon for years. Ive researched it a few times and can come up with a solid idea of the gun and how to make a replica from an MP40. Link to post Share on other sites

If you were asking about the ak74 for example I would just help you, and not talk down to you and brag about my knowledge... Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 How do you want to make the stock? It looks like beech wood... You will need a router, if one part building; and if two half ,you will need it too. Working with chinsels would be a nightmare... Link to post Share on other sites
BFOUR Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 IM going to do a laminate stock to make things easier. Itll be my first time so not sure how well it will turn out.

otacon14th Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Up for the thread starter heres my AGM modified MP-41, hope this keep you guided - Butt stock is a repro of the real deal MP-41 stock that came from a guy in Poland and it was listed on eBay, lots of trimming to be done in order to fit the MP-40 gearbox - Barrel nut should be conical and not hexagonal no time for machining it (got only 2 night and 1 day do finish it) - Bayonet thingy underneath the barrel was removed and decided to keep the quick release knob under the fore grip, selector switch and on/off switch disregarded - Epoxy steel putty used to extend the trigger guard... cured and shaped and then PVC sheet for butt plate Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Nice! Once I want to make a rare WW2 axis SMG too... workin' with MP40 mags. Mp18, or Danuvia M43 would be fine. Sadly no ACM steel mags at the moment... Link to post Share on other sites

I take my research seriously. Always have done... Not if AI's anything to go by... I said it, but we were all thinking it All joking aside, just going to flame, or actually post some kind of helpful, friendly contribution? I think this project is coming along spiffingly!
