The WoodChuck Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm jealous you will be the second person to get one of these new builds =)Woodchuck here. I use a mini-production line set up to build stuff. Four barrels, then four couplers, etc, so there is only going to be a day, maybe two between the time all four of these are shipped, LOL.

Quartermaster Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Looking good Chuck! Keep up the great work, and keep those safety goggles on! NO sawdust in those eyes my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The WoodChuck Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 WoodChuck here. This photo shows the trigger switch mod, or upgrade for this run. Pressing this micro switch momentarily turns ON/OFF any electronic circut connected to it. The wiring is long enough to reach well into the barrel area. WIP continues. the eye surgery had some complications, and I've had to limit my time in the workshop, but progress is being made, and this project should go quickly now. Thanks, Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodChuck here. This switch upgrade is proving to be way more time consuming then i anticipated. I would have to increase the price of the long irfle for this mod on that blasster, IF (big IF), it is even possible to do the mod. there isn't much room in that area of the receiver on the long rifle.

pandatrooper Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Chuck, looking great so far! Just my personal feedback on the trigger switch setup. I think you could save a lot of room if you simply use a smaller switch and imbed it into the trigger itself. Make it a solid trigger with no backspace behind it. I know its a loss of detail but its worth it to have a functional trigger. My feedback is that the current grip looks really weak with the big cavity cut out of the grip. Even if you glue grip panels on top. The weight and length of the blaster will put a lot of stress on the grip. Just my 2 cents from building mine. Heres a switch that is much smaller and takes up less room. Could be mounted in a hollow trigger or even surface mounted. http://www.rpelectronics.com/30-14410-printed-circuit-tactile-switch-kit-10-pcs.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The WoodChuck Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Woodchuck here. Roger roger, thanks for your input. I too felt that the grip would be weak if left as is, so I have added a solid layer of 1/8 baltic birch ply wood to the other side of the grip and receiver. You just can't see it in the WIP photo, since it's on the backside, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WoodChuck Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Very nice. The new is a marked improvement over mine. Great job, Woodchuck! Woodchuck here. Each time I build something, I try to tweak the design. I don't see these minor changes as improvements, just perhaps more detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandtrooper Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I noticed the flip up sight and thought it looked good along with the electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Christian, Yup! Mine looks exactly the same! Just a quick review since I have a few more minutes than just a one liner! Thanks Chuck for running this T-21 build! Since the beginning of this build Chuck has been more than willing to answer any questions up front and gave a realistic timeline on getting the work done. I got plenty of (WIP) Work in Progress along the way, which was great getting to see my BFG come together from the start. It came earlier than I expected and looks better in person than it does in the photos; this thing is just so badass. I can't express that enough! Thanks again Chuck!
