Daetrin Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD8828 Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 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!

Daetrin Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 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! TK-8020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
