DEVILHUNTER Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hi guys, this is my project for this year competition, a VLTOR Modstock for the GBBR WE M14. When I bought a wood stock I started to think what to do with the original stock, finally I decided to make this project. Although the CAD design was made some time ago, I couldn't start the building until a couple of months ago. Also, I didn't wanted to start a topic until I were pretty sure I could finish it, so now that I have finised the hardest part (the machining of the stock base) this is my project log. And and assembly to see how does it fit with a stock, the pistol grip and the trigger base. I bought a square bar of 2030 aluminium, enough to make two stock adapters is case I ruin the first one. The bar was 60x60x160mm and 1.7kg, I had to cut it in a half in a 45º angle. But there was a problem, I don't have a saw here, just some saw blades... so I had to grab the saw blade with my bare hands and start cutting. It took me forever, at least a couple of weeks until I finish the cut. If some day I could buy a bigger mill, I will buy a bandsaw right away. I used a manual lathe-mill combo to face the part and get closer to the finish measurements. For the next step I used my toy CNC milling machine to face and sqare the 6 faces, I get a pretty good finish look. And star roughing: Yesterday I made a video machining the big slot for the stock tube adapter. From almost 800g to 230g, what a waste of aluminium! This part have some mistakes, some ones by me, and alot of ones by my machine. I even had to change the whole stepper drivers to get rid of the lost steps. At least this mistakes are not too big or in structural areas, so I will use some epoxy putty to fix them and then file and sand the whole adapter to make it smooth. Next step: cutting the original plastic stock in a half. Link to post Share on other sites
aac Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 nice, i' am looking forward to see the rest of your project Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm big M14 fan (have 3 custom one), but not a big GBB fan... Great work indeed! Link to post Share on other sites

DEVILHUNTER Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 After some months trying to fix some problems on my machine (it's a toy, so I can't ask it too much) finally I could finish the milling. First saw the original stock and sqare to the same angle than the adapter: Testing the QD sling swivel: I cut an old AEG buffer tube and turned an adapter to mill it in T shape so it can slide: And this is the result, now I have to paint the body with Army Green and the adapter and tube in black (and add a stock): Also finished the main body of my CO2 mag, I need to machcine the tubes and valve to test it: Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I think you'd have buyers if your CO2 magazine for the WE M14 works out. Link to post Share on other sites
Roland1014 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Does your CO2 mod for GHK AKs not work on WE? Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 PureSilver, I'm planning making them in the future as conversión kit for gas mag but I need to buy a bigger machine first. With my machine I had to ask some favor to machine some parts. Roland, the M14 mag is weak. I didn't tried to fill with CO2 because I don't think it will hold so much pressure.

DEVILHUNTER Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 So here it is, prettier than I expected: The mag is almost ready, I will create a post when I finish it. Link to post Share on other sites
marvk Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 The magazine looks awesome, as does the rest of your project! Did you design the mag yourself or is it a modified version of one that you bought? If you did it yourself I would be very much interested in the way you built it. If that is not a company secret marv edit: ah okay, somehow I did not see the picture in your last post regarding the magazine, sorry. Now I am even more interested!!

DEVILHUNTER Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks marvk, I designed the whole mag bit it's just a copy of the ghk ones modified yo fit the m14 shell. I will make a specific post about it soon (was ready but I broke the valve so I need so make a new one). Link to post Share on other sites
L2E Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've got to remember to read this thread at home as work is blocking the images... Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Its strangely really good looking. Half of me hates it, half of me wants to come to your house, steal it and feed it grapes while i brush its hair. The CO2 mag is excellent. IF by any chance you fancied making a TM compatible Desert Eagle one you would be handsomely compenstated Link to post Share on other sites
Stuey Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Agreed. Link to post Share on other sites
Roland1014 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Stahp. No. Don't. I don't want an M14 no no no Link to post Share on other sites
Roland1014 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I picked up a beat to hell used WE M14. Y u do dis Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Don't blame me, you know that was going to happen! jajajaja Link to post Share on other sites
Roland1014 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Are you copying the GHK CO2 valve design? I'd definitely be interested in a few mags depending on price Link to post Share on other sites
jammie654 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Nice work on the custom parts! Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks jammie! The valve works like the pistol ones (because of the internal geometry, the GHK style valves won't work). Mi second one seals well (I broke the first one) but is too hard to push (twice as the original valve) so didn't work. I will do another one that will require the same force to open of the original one, but until I test it I won't know if it gives me enough flow to full cycle the gun. To make a small production I first need to save 3 grands to buy a bigger machine, and that will take some time. To make this one I had to ask a friend to make me a couple of the holes that I can't make with my small machine. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 That's pretty damn awesome. The Co2 mags are even better.Can you adapt the same design to, say, the WE AK? Link to post Share on other sites
DEVILHUNTER Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks darklite. Could be done with the right tools, GHK AKM mags are this way. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Slightly necro, but how's the CO2 mag coming along? Link to post Share on other sites
