tk0600 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 A couple of years ago i built my scratch built MG-34. Since then, I have not had time to mess around with the hobby. But, to get ready for C5, I decided to update the barrel section. Whatcha think? Here is a comparison of my old and new barrel: Here is it with the old stock and body section: And, here is the new barrel all painted and ready for action: Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headcount Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Looks good, man! Nice work! Will you be getting t-tracks for the barrel? I've been planning a scratch built DLT-19, too, but I have to finish my E-11 first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk0600 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Where did you find the t-tracks? Yes, it is something that I have been wanting to do, but don't know where to get them. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 looks great man....i did some searching for t-tracks and had no luck. i ended up just making my own.....a pain to do but it worked in the end. someone had mentioned the the soccer flags had t-tracks....dont know for sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headcount Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I don't have any yet, and I'm not quite at the stage I'll need some at the moment. Here are a couple sources to check out. You could also post a query in the FISD forum. http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=12067 http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=2819&hl=t-track&st=0 That first link might be worth checking out as a good option for non-rubber t-tracks. (Interesting note: apparently the screen-used versions had plastic t-tracks, not rubber.) I'm not sure what the current supply status is for that second link. You might have to give him a holler and see what he says. I keep thinking I saw another source for rubber t-tracks somewhere, but these should give you a good launching point. Hope that helps.

Quartermaster Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Looks great! For rubber T-Tracks, use this link: http://www.blast-tech.com/products_rubberStrip.asp I got mine from this site and I love them. Came fast, and you can order in pre-cut sets or by the foot. Comes with a concave bottom to attach to the barrel and already has 3M adhesive strips attached. I used them on my E-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk0600 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks for all the help with this. I found a great source for the t-tracks... Garage Door insulation. If you cut the ends off, it works beautifully! I found this stuff at Lowes. And here they are installed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
