That looks really good!! do you have a parts list or do you know of a good tuturial so i can build one eventually too?

Hi irob972, basically here is what I used

Body:

1.5" ABS pipe(body)

1.5" Abs cap

1" wood dowel( center of body)

1/2" wood dowel for breech load handle

Some sump pump hose for breech

3/4" MDF for handle

Rubber matting for grips

Barrel:

1" thin wall aluminum closet pole (barrel) slots drilled and dremmelled out

1/2" PVC for inner barrel

Ammo cartridges:

3" PVC caps x4 glued together with same matting glued to sides

1/4" hardboard for top of ammo cartridge

Scopes:

Scopes were made from various pieces of pop-up underground sprinkler heads

Lenses for scope are caps for bathroom faucets

Hexagonal standoffs for scope mounts

Wire loom

Flat black paint and weathered

Blaster looks better in person than in photo. Fairly lightweight and barrel is detachable.[/b]

Tai bang le! (excellent)

What lengths did you cut the various pipes? I never thought of doing an MG-15, but it seems like a neat project.

Overall length is 44" ,25" for the main body tube and 19" for the barrel however I added an extra 6" that slides inside and couples up with the 1" dowel in the main body tube. Inner barrel is the same but a bit shorter.

Scopes are 10" front and 11" rear, I also used a 1 1/2" to 1 1/4" ABS reducer where the barrel and body meet.

Hope this helps you out!

Yes, this helps tremendously. I've already started on a Lewis, but - hey - can one really have too many BFG's?

The pix really help in setting a goal for what it should look like - many thanks!
