Prophet Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 OK, so I've decided to convert my Cushmann DLT-19 vac formed "barrel shroud/T track combo" to a two part "inner barrel/barrel shroud'' with real T tracks. My question is what's the diameter of a real MG-34's barrel shroud, the part with all the holes in it I was under the impression it was 1 1/4 inches or possibly 1 1/2 inches but both seem too big? Help Please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wauw goodluck,post your WIP progress too if you dont mind we all love pictures here I'm sure others who had a real MG-34 will chime in,in the meantime hope this helps empireprops.mg34break4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Are there any real MG34 or hyperfirm owners who could help out with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 i measured my hyperfirm. Looks like 1 1/2", definitley not 1 1/4". Thank You !!! Hey Pappy , I won this from the "bay" as pictured! The former owner did a great job making the the base gun nice and solid by filling it with a piece of PVC surrounded by some type of plastic! here are some pics of what I started with, [img Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Prophet, I have the same Cushman DLT-19 exactly like yours, except that I got Cushman to assemble it for me before he shipped it out. Looking at the pulls on my barrel I can understand your intention to convert from the existing piece with moulded on T-tracks to scratchbuilding a new barrel with real T-track pieces. I've seen your pics and from this pic : are you in possession of 2 instead of 1 Cushmann DLT-19 barrel? Did you cut off your Cushmann Barrel piece, or is this a separate resin casted piece? As for mine, I will work on the Receiver where the soft pulls have obscured the details and further improved on these parts, like what is shown in your pics here : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
