This item is NOT offered for sale.
My Scratch-build FN Herstal FN30 Machine gun body:

The standard M1919 side plates and sight-mount are here.


The buffer group is made of stacked, 6mm-thick sheets. Once I get the final contours, I'll smooth it out some.


The trigger slide is made, but not installed yet. I need to learn something called tolerances...the slot and the slide are exactly the same size. Perfect if I wanted a press-fit.


The two side plates are separate parts now, as are the front and back assemblies, and the top latch. Each of these items can be independently removed, without disturbing the others. What ever gets put inside this, its parts will be easy to get to.


I even added a safety bar. One day, I'll even come up with a charging handle I like. For now, they are a blank slot, with three hole positions.


The small loop inside the grip area is for a on/off "safety" switch.


None of these parts have been de-burred or sanded. This is how they come from the CNC, snapped out of the "trees I cut them into.

More to come...

Someone make me the stinger, Ill give you $300.

[killbucket]

Maybe for just the body structure...those were a LOT of work to build.
No matter, I'm too busy making the 1919's right now to even dust off the CAD.

But I never have made one on the CNC....hm...[/url]

A few more shots. Almost sun-up, will take some clear outdoor shots today.

The two semi-circular cutouts in the top of the handle mount are for the safety slide assembly.


There will be a slide block very similar to what the real-steel has, to block the trigger when the safety is "on".


I have standardized my M1919 body and parts. This grip will go onto any of the last 20 guns I've built. four #8, 1/2"-long screws hold it into place. The same size screw is used, literally everywhere! Tear-down is a no-brainer, just toss all the screws into a handy container- no sorting.


Still experimenting with paint finishes, I wanted the grip to look like worn, cast aluminum. Lower grip mount is one part, thermo-formed with two 30deg bends.

Happy New Year!!!

I have been BUSY!
Getting ready to wrap up another limited run of "those things I make", and looking forward to resting a while.

It's New Year's Eve, 2010, and I don't need to lose weight, or quit smoking, or quit hittin' the wife, or even pledge to clean the already-clean shop.

Getting good and Party-Mood tonite, care to the wind.
It's been a great year, and I want to thank everybody who sent their best wishes our way.

Wifey's cancer is but a memory, (hopefully) to never return.

I've got over 60 freeking helicopters now...

I'm making another

Browning dual-gun, a double M1919 right now.[/url]

Come SEE, what I've done with the site...nothing to do but look at guns all day? It would take you weeks to see what I have now.

A mesh bag around the flat-black AEG, spray a few more colors, you can get a snake texture.


Even a cheap-O Well90 becomes a work of art.


Khaki, walnut, and a bit more flat black are the only colors used. I use 3 earth tones for best effect, but you can get WILD with color:


Look at the speaker-grilles in my truck. This is just black over red, and took about five minutes to do up. This is a very good "First painting project", by a long shot, as the paint application and prep are minimal, and you have the instant-gratification angle going for it, as the light coat of paint used dries almost immediately. I've done cellphones, TV sets, and even blenders this way! NOTE: Flat black over gloss black is intense.

It's been almost two years since I made one of my miniguns up. I had no idea I'd made so MANY of them! Come see the Miniguns Tour, and shed another tear for something I won't be making any more of...

See all of the Miniguns I've made!
