Hi,
here my newest Project for the Winterpause !

First i can only Show you the main System of the sleigh mech, grab the movement of the bolt. The final one will be made of much better material for shure, itīs just a prototype to test the function and see where i Need space etc.

There i made a Video to see the function:

Thanks god !!!



I think i go build the sleigh in Tippmannstyle(2frames) cause it would be hard to attach him and i also Need room(or a good idea) on the right side cause of fire valve Body and the detent. Also the one Piece sleigh is hard for me to form, less helping tools. So first i thought the catching mechanic will be the hardest part but now iīm schure the sleigh is much more work !!!

The sleigh will be not much higher than the sight (2mm is the stregh of the sleigh alu sheet metal)and not much deeper than the Barrel low high. So the look will be much better than on the demo pic !!!

Close to this one is my Goal, shure i canīt have the same dimensions cause Cal.68 is much bigger but so you have an idea of how it should look if iīm done:

Thanks !!!

I have cut the slide in two pieces(also makes it easier to form the sheetmetal), the left side is in final size so you will have a pretty good look at how it will be looking finished !!! Need to build also something for make the gripframe in front longer cause would look better too.

Getting Close to look like a Glock Cal.68, i think i go just brush the slide surface Looks good i think !!!

So i finished the two slide Shells, look pretty good i think !!!
The right one was a bit more work cause of more Trouble but i think i done it right !!!

Next build will be a slide over the Barrel which is Need to install the slide Shell and also the slide return spring. Yeaahhh i will take some more time but each step iīm getting closer to finish !!!

Mmhhh iīm not shure !!!

First i think i go stay with the metal finish(may brushed or sanded)Looks good i think ! Need to test(finish the main parts) first !!!

Black or a dark green would be my favorites for woodland use !

So i finished the slide return spring System pretty quick and simple !
Formed and filed some sheetmetal and used an old RC-Carspring.
So now you could already use it as fake slide but the Goal is a different but with boltcatcher you still do a fake loading !!!

Here i did some optical work i filed the grips of the slide.







I filed with a small file may 1mm deep now i go think about other Details and after i go spray it simple black or i try a green i got !?!?!?

We will see, get surprised !!! :)

I have fiberglased both slide Shells back together but you still can unscrew the Slide piece and the Catch mech. Tried my new paint green but itīs much to green !!!

Here i got two ideas of make the Frame longer to the end with the slide:

1st


Doesnīt look to big but you still see the ugly rail rest.


2nd


Donīt see the rail part but it Looks very massive i think !!!




Iīm still not shure which i go choose and may i will get a better idea if i go think about a Little bit more !?!?!?
